Sean Shelby’s Shoes: What’s next for Tyron Woodley after UFC on ESPN+ 36 loss?

(ALSO SEE: Sean Shelby’s Shoes: What’s next for Colby Covington after UFC on ESPN+ 36 win?)

Tyron Woodley’s career-worst skid continued on Saturday when he lost his heated grudge match with Colby Covington at UFC on ESPN+ 36.

Woodley (19-6-1 MMA, 9-6-1 UFC), a former UFC welterweight champion, suffered a fifth-round TKO loss to Covington (16-2 MMA, 11-2 UFC) in the headlining bout, which took place at the UFC Apex in Las Vegas and streamed on ESPN+.

What’s next for “The Chosen One” after suffering his third consecutive defeat with no rounds won in any of the bouts? UFC president Dana White suggested retirement, and at 38, that doesn’t seem unrealistic.

Watch the video above for thoughts and analysis on Woodley’s future after his loss to Covington at UFC on ESPN+ 36.
