It's been almost one year since we've seen Tyron Woodley compete in the UFC Octagon. However, as per the former UFC Welterweight Champion's recent Instagram post, Woodley is now all set to make his return to the Octagon in March against Leon Edwards.
Tyron Woodley's title loss
Early on in the year, Tyron Woodley faced Kamaru Usman in the co-main event of UFC 235 and in his fifth defense of the UFC Welterweight Championship, Woodley ended up losing the title to 'The Nigerian Nightmare'.
Before his defeat to Usman, Woodley had successfully defended the UFC Welterweight Championship against the likes of Darren Till, Demian Maia, and Stephen Thompson, as well. For his return fight, Woodley was initially set to face Robbie Lawler in a rematch from UFC 201 but the expected bout which was supposed to take place at UFC on ESPN 3, eventually got canceled after Woodley suffered a hand injury.
