In WWE, Brock Lesnar is considered The Beast for a reason. His athletic abilities, the strength in his moves, and how he demolishes his opponents are unquestionable. Despite being 6ft 3 in height, Lesnar’s ability to move that quickly in the ring makes him a formidable opponent.

The beef between UFC stars is a common thing. Even after retiring from the sport, the banter between MMA fighters sometimes still lives on. Something like that happened when a former UFC star called out his shots on Brock Lesnar.

When Tyron Woodley, the former UFC welterweight champion, appeared in a TMZ Sports video, he said something unexpected. While discussing the retirement of Brock Lesnar from the UFC, he said, “Brock is big, but if you hit him a couple of times, he’ll fold up on you. [….] Tyron Woodley Vs. Brock Lesnar at the Mall of America at Minneapolis, Minnesota.”

Woodley made this statement in a nonchalant manner. He also joked about him going to Minnesota and Brock Lesnar waiting there for him to fight.

“Sorry Brock, don’t try to beat me up if you see me but you did do that one time,” said Woodley. “I’m Just saying I’m probably gonna see him cause I’m going to Minnesota, damn he probably gonna be there. I got to deal with Brock now.”

Tyron Woodley on beating Lesnar’s A**

When asked Tyron if he will fight a “juiced-up Brock Lesnar”, Tyron’s reply was somewhat expected from a UFC fighter. “Hell yeah, I will beat Brock’s a**.” Tyron made this statement when he was still on the UFC roster.

Tyron Woodley has been a professional MMA fighter since 2009. Before that, Woodley was in the wrestling program at the University of Missouri. He did manage to make a name for himself in the UFC octagon after being the welterweight champion. But, UFC cut him from the roster after suffering his fourth consecutive loss in March 2021.
