[7]

Early life

[edit]

Woodley was born and raised in Ferguson, Missouri. The eleventh of thirteen children, he was raised by his mother after his father left the family early in his life. In high school, he was a two-sport athlete, competing in American football and amateur wrestling.[8][9] Woodley won the Missouri 4A State Wrestling Championship in 2000, at the 160 lb weight class.

After graduating from McCluer High School in 2000, Woodley attended University of Missouri and joined their wrestling program. There, he became a two-time All-American; once in 2003 and again in 2005.[10] Woodley graduated from the university in 2005 with a major in Agricultural Economics.[11]

UFC Welterweight Championship

[edit]

Woodley faced welterweight champion Robbie Lawler on July 30, 2016, in the main event at UFC 201.[50] He won the fight via knockout halfway through the first round to claim the UFC Welterweight Championship.[51] This win earned him the Performance of the Night award.[52]

Woodley made his first title defense against Stephen Thompson on November 12, 2016, at UFC 205.[53] The fight ended in a majority draw with two judges scoring the fight 47–47 and the third 48–47 in favor of Woodley.[54] Subsequently, both fighters were awarded Fight of the Night bonus awards.[54][55]

The rematch with Thompson took place on March 4, 2017, in the main event at UFC 209. It was another closely contested bout with Woodley winning via majority decision.[56][57]

For his third title defense, Woodley faced Demian Maia on July 29, 2017, in the co-main event at UFC 214.[58] He won the fight by unanimous decision.[59] Woodley stated after the contest that he had torn his labrum in his right shoulder in the opening round.

Woodley next defended the UFC Welterweight Championship against Darren Till on September 8, 2018, at UFC 228.[63] He won the fight via submission in the second round.[64] This win earned him the Performance of the Night award.[65] Woodley also received his Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu black belt in the cage from Din Thomas following his victory.[66] Woodley also gave Till his first loss in MMA.[67]

Post-championship and career decline

[edit]

A rematch with Robbie Lawler was expected to take place on June 29, 2019, at UFC on ESPN 3.[70] On May 16, 2019, it was reported that Woodley suffered a hand injury and was pulled from the fight.[71]

Woodley was scheduled to face Leon Edwards on March 21, 2020, at UFC Fight Night: Woodley vs. Edwards.[72] However, the restrictions related to COVID-19 forced Edwards to withdraw as the event was meant to be moved from London to the United States, and the event was subsequently postponed indefinitely.[73]

Woodley faced Gilbert Burns on May 30, 2020, in the main event at UFC on ESPN: Woodley vs. Burns.[74] Woodley would again be dominated for most of the fight and lose via unanimous decision.[75]

Woodley fought at UFC Fight Night: Covington vs. Woodley against longtime rival Colby Covington on September 19, 2020.[76][77] Similar to his past two fights, Woodley was dominated for four rounds, and eventually the bout was called as a technical knockout after he tapped out during the fifth round due to a rib injury.[78][79]

Woodley faced Vicente Luque on March 27, 2021, at UFC 260.[80] Uncharacteristically, Woodley came out swinging aggressively early into the bout, and after rocking Luque and being rocked himself multiple times on the feet, he was defeated by D'Arce choke in round one.[81] This fight earned him the Fight of the Night award.[82] Weeks later, it was announced that Woodley had fought out his contract after eight years competing in the promotion.[83]

Professional boxing career

[edit]

Paul vs. Woodley

[edit]
Main article: Jake Paul vs. Tyron Woodley

Before the Jake Paul vs. Ben Askren main event took place, Woodley was involved in a backstage situation with Jake Paul and J'Leon Love, where he was mocked due to his inexperience in boxing and the result of Paul's bout against Woodley's long–time teammate Ben Askren was discussed.[84] After Paul knocked out Askren, Woodley called out Paul.[85] On May 31, 2021, news surfaced that Woodley had been scheduled to make his professional boxing debut against internet personality Jake Paul on August 29, 2021.[86][87] Woodley became the first man to take Paul past the second round in his professional career, but ultimately lost by split decision. One judge scored the fight 77–75 for Woodley, while the other two judges scored it 77–75 and 78–74 in favor of Paul.

On top of all of these other ventures, Woodley also appears in Season 3 Episode 5 of the Netflix show S.W.A.T._(2017_TV_series) as a member of the Jamaican Possy.
