Tyron Woodley is set to enter the Octagon for the first time since dropping his title to Kamaru Usman at UFC [https://www.ufc.com/] 235. The former champion spoke about how the result caused him to go into depression. However, he eventually faced his demons [https://www.essentiallysports.com/ufc-news-it-was-necessary-for-my-journey-tyron-woodley-reveals-how-he-fought-depression/] and is a better person and a better fighter ahead of his return. Furthermore, after deep introspection, he has changed his career goals and spoke about how his last fight changed him. TYRON WOODLEY PROMISES TO BE THE BEST VERSION OF HIMSELF Speaking at the UFC Fight Night press conference, the top-ranked Welterweight contender said, “I’m coming out swinging. I’ve always come out swinging, even in defeat. But this time it’s a little bit different. I plan on making this a complete lifestyle change.” Tyron Woodley [https://www.essentiallysports.com/wp-content/uploads/tyron-woodley-ufc-235-media-day-1.jpg] ‘The Chosen One’ went on to state that he is now as hungry as he was when striving to make a name for himself as a professional fighter. “Because I’m taking the fight game and really my focus is set back to the amateur Tyron Woodley that was trying to turn professional that wanted to fight in the UFC that wanted to be a champion that wanted to reign, that wanted to be the greatest. And I’m up for everything right now.” The 38-year-old further goes on to state how he has altered his career goals. “For the rest of my career, just winning is never going to be enough anymore. I’ve made that commitment to myself, to my coaches, my family. That if I’m out there, you’re gonna get maximum effort, you gonna get maximum performance every single time I fight It’s not because it’s Gilbert or because I lost my last fight and it’s not because I want a title shot. “It’s because I’m capable of it. And if you capable of it and you don’t do it then what are you out there for. So I’m gonna go out there for every single fight of my career and will let everybody know that I’m the best.” The top-ranked Welterweight contender seems re-energized. It bodes well for him as he faces an opponent who is yet to lose at this weight. Can ‘The Chosen One’ put himself back into the Championship picture? Or will ‘Durinho’ prove to be too hot to handle?
