Woodley seems to have a mental block

[FloydMayweatherMMA]

Incredible as it may seem to most Sherdoggers, I'm a fan of Woodley. However, since the draw with Wonderboy he's become incredibly frustrating to watch.

Seeing someone who you know full well has the ability to impose himself on anyone in the division just lay down and get controlled without offering any resistance makes it real hard to keep rooting for him.

TLDR; I think Woodley is mentally shot.

Same Woodley as always to me. That "Mental block" has always been there.

He needs to change camps, start bringing in new guys and learning new things. He is stuck in a groove like a broken record. Or He is likely only in it for the money. Like Tyson back in his day because he hasn’t landed that solid something else outside of fighting. I think he needs a fresh look or to hang them up,

GSP has talked extensively about the mental pressure of being at the top

People used to make fun of him for that

 

[Prince Nephilim]

I think he's off the gun

 

[ChumpyKiwi]

I'm also a fan of Woodley. Seems like he had a modicum of confidence for a minute of that fight and then Gilbert wobbled him and dominated the grappling. It only snowballed and he continued to ignore Din Thomas advice

He needs to see GSP’s psychiatrist.

I get why he fought on the defensive side when he had a belt to defend.

Seeing him in the 5th against Burns with nothing to lose and still not fighting offensively was just strange to watch.

 

[Viking Power]

I agree. More mental than anything else. He’s still got a ton of talent and skill but can’t get going/can’t get off the fucking cage.

Lol at anyone saying Woodley would have beaten GSP.

Filthy casuals.

 

[MyFavSport]

My feeling tonight was Woodley just got out fought. Like Chael said, Woodley showed some heart. He just got out worked and got dropped and taken down twice. But also Tyrons fight IQ or ability too set up his bombs was non existent

He was scared to exchange with Burns simple as that. He got dropped twice, and Burns was faster. He was fine with losing.

Exactly, or Crocop's. Crocop's slump was so bad, but eventually he recovered to throw strikes with bad intentions.

Agreed! People don’t realize how good GSP was to win every round he fought in once he got that strap back. He would have beaten Woodley easily.

 

[DOMMA]

He is 38. He has lost 10 consecutive rounds in the UFC. Might be time to retire from a pretty impressive career as a fighter in the UFC.

 

[JosephTessaro]

I think Tryon drank too much Woodley cool aid. Sucks because he looks like the type of guy to run through people all the time. His days are over.

 

[Lawblaw]

he was never the best

 

[BluntForceTrama]

Nah....he just can't stand the sight of his own blood

 

[NoStoneUnturned]

Same Woodley as always, but 38.
