Tyron Woodley is facing uncharted waters after suffering a lopsided loss to Gilbert Burns on Saturday at UFC on ESPN 9.
After losing the UFC welterweight title to Kamaru Usman in March 2019, Woodley (19-5-1 MMA, 9-4-1 UFC) returned to the octagon in the event headliner at the UFC Apex in Las Vegas. He lost a unanimous decision to Burns (19-3 MMA, 12-3 UFC) in the fight, and now is on the first two-fight skid of his prestigious career.
At 38 and having lost 10 consecutive rounds over his past two fights, there are some unavoidable questions coming at Woodley in regard to his future. He displayed a positive attitude on social media after the fight, but what should come next?
Woodley is still very much one of the best 170-pound fighters in the world, and he still has good options for his future, such as a grudge match with rival Colby Covington (15-2 MMA, 10-2 UFC).
Will that fight happen for Woodley next, though? Watch the video above for thoughts and analysis on his future after losing to Burns.
