Woodley took to Instagram to share what he felt about the match and what he thought went wrong. “S**t was going really well until it wasn’t. My camp pushed me in ways I haven’t been pushed in a while.”

Woodley knew he had to take the fight to Luque, he wanted to win and over-committed himself. “I committed and swore to myself I would bring the tiger out that earned me gold.”

From the start, it looked like Woodley was trying to win early and was going for the knockout. And according to him, this tactic hurt him.

I saw the opportunity for the KO and got too excited. Payed a big cost. I don’t regret my aggression as that’s what God created me to do. @luquevicente is a tough and humble fighter. Was an honor to share the cage with you tonight.”
