While Coy might come as a surprise to many as Woodley’s toughest fight, there was no surprise answer on who is the toughest puncher T-Wood has ever fought.
It was none other than the former UFC welterweight champion, Robbie Lawler. Woodley stopped ‘Ruthless’ at the first round of their fight at UFC 2o1 to become the undisputed welterweight champion. It was one of the best performances of his career. So, it is understandable why ‘The Chosen One’ has fond memories of that bout.
