However, in the very next fight against Kamaru Usman, ‘The Chosen One’ succumbed to a resounding unanimous decision loss where he did not look like himself at all. He was never able to get any offense going and was rag-dolled by ‘The Nigerian Nightmare’.
Fans and pundits believed that it was just one of those days where things did not go the former champion’s way. However, in his next two fights against Gilbert Burns and Colby Covington, we saw a similar lackluster display from Woodley. It was almost as if he did not want to be in the octagon and was beaten resoundingly both times.

Vicente Luque, the man standing across from him at UFC 260, is on a two-fight win streak with both wins coming via knockouts. A win for ‘The Silent Assassin’ will not only move him to 3-0, but will also give his CV a boost with a win over a former champion.
For Woodley, a fourth straight loss might spell the end of his career in the UFC.
