Woodley is over here talking about wanting to be GOAT WW. My question is, is it even HYPOTHETICALLY possible for him to become GOAT?
By my calculation St. Pierre, Hughes, and even Lawler are all above him in the all-time list right now.
With St. Pierre having 11 significant victories (not including rematches), Hughes having 8 significant victories, and Lawler having 7, while Tyron only has 5 victories that could count towards a GOAT status.
On top of that, there's a major lack of depth in the WW division that could give him the type of opponent to truly add to his resume. The only "significant" victories out there left for him to nab are: GSP, Nick, Cerrone, Ponzibibbio, and maybe Conor.
