Tyron Woodley is currently on a disappointing run in the UFC and he surely would love to end his losing skid against arch-rival Colby Covington this weekend in the main event of UFC Vegas 11.

In the lead-up to the fight, T-Wood spoke on The Hollywood Beatdown on TMZ Sports and weighed in on the potential return of welterweight pioneer Nick Diaz. The former UFC Welterweight Champion believes it will be good to have a household name back in Nick Diaz, if there is any truth to his rumored return, However, Woodley added that even if Diaz doesn't make his Octagon return,, the latter still deserves to get inducted into the HOF.

“If he comes back to the sport, I think it will be good to have another household name back in the sport competing. But if he doesn’t, he doesn’t. I think he’s done enough in his career, in my opinion, to be inducted into the Hall of Fame.”

As aforementioned, Tyron Woodley will finally cross paths with Colby Covington this weekend at UFC Vegas 11, in what feels almost a must-win fight for the former. On the back of a loss to Gilbert Burns in his last outing, The Chosen One still has hopes of getting back into the title picture after having lost it to Kamaru Usman.
