Is Tyron Woodley the best 170'er we have ever seen?

[storeybuckle]

Crushed Maia, and crushed Wonderboy twice.

His resume is basically as good as GSP's at this point.

He's great but was easily handled by Rory

 

[liverkick83]

Prime GSP is current GSP

You're kidding right ? GSP has had 3 acl surgeries and is carrying to much mass for his frame . He looked powerful at 185 but really lacked any explosion like he had 5- 6 years ago

 

[MMA__Analyst]

He's up there, but I don't think he's done enough to rival Matt Hughes or GSP yet.

Matt hughes is pretty close, but Woodley will most likely surpass him in a year or two

 

[dipstickjimmy]

Prime juiced Hendrix was a beast

Who still came up short against GSP

 

[dipstickjimmy]

How in the fuck could you possibly describe the win against Maia or Wonderboy as “crushing”? Literally what the fuck?

IP Ban this troll.

FTFY

 

[TripTictonic]

The best? Lol No. Woodley is a lot better than some people give him credit for, but no. Top 10 WW all time? Sure I wouldn't argue with that.

 

[RafaelDosSantos]

Yes but since he's black it can't be accepted

 

[liverkick83]

My point exactly even a juiced Hendrix couldn't handle a prime GSP

 

[Darwinambrosius]

“Crushed” wonderboy even though he was gifted the rematch and first fight was a draw.

Crushed Maia even though he landed like 16 punches the entire fight.


But sure. Whatever.

Retarded thread but I'll give Woodley credit for Maia. Arguably the best grappler in MMA and he looked like an amateur against Woodley. It wasn't particularly exciting, but it says a lot about Woodley's skills.

That's a very debatable statement. GSP even acted like he lost that fight.

Hughes won 9 title fights, most by finish. Tyron has a lot of work to do to catch him.

Maia’s takedowns were never the best, but Woodleys TDD did look awesome in that fight. Not taking that away from him.

Wouldn’t really call it “crushing” when that’s the only thing he really did

Oh no, he didn't crush him. He clearly refused to engage past very brief combos and basically won by way of not losing, if that makes sense.

From a technical stance, I thought the fight was wonderful to watch though.

 

[PurpleDrank]

Prime gsp, prime hendricks, rory and even prime lombard were all better. Great fighter though.

 

[spannered]

This is just ridiculous

How's that a stretch?
He's 2-1 in title defenses. GSP, Shields and Hughes racked up much more dominant wins over better competition while they were champs.

Lawler also defended twice.

 

[spannered]

then you realized rory missed every punch in that gif

LOL you literally have your own reality buddy...

That must be interesting.

you are blind and retarded. he did not land one punch in that gif.

 

[knock_you_out]

No. And Tryon doesn't crush anyone, he slowly grinds them down over 5, coma-inducing, lacklustre rounds.

 

[spannered]

you are blind and retarded. he did not land one punch in that gif.

Half the people in this thread have called you out on this. It's not a matter of opinion... Rory landed most of those punches.

When the evidence is clear as day like this, you seem dumber than a flat earther.

 

[613]

Because GSP has never 50-45'd anyone in his career.

50-45ing someone is dominating them. A draw and majority decision is not nearly as impressive
