Tyron Woodley Considering Move to Middleweight Division For GSP vs. Bisping Winner

UFC Welterweight Champion Tyron Woodley wants to fight the UFC middleweight champion in his next fight.

During an interview with Sports Illustrated, Woodley said he wanted to fight whoever wins the upcoming middleweight title fight between Michael Bisping and Georges St-Pierre.

On Nov. 4, Bisping will defend his middleweight title against St-Pierre in the main event of UFC 217.

Woodley says he primarily wants to fight St-Pierre and was hoping to fight him in November. But with St-Pierre now fighting Bisping, Woodley is also interested in a super fight with the middleweight champion.

“I would fight Bisping as well, to be honest,” Woodley said. “I’m not just saying I want to move up to middleweight because at welterweight I’m a larger size and I feel comfortable at the weight. I have no issues making it, it’s not easy but I always get it done.

“To fight Bisping or Georges, I’d love to fight either one. But mainly I want to fight Georges.”
