The mixed martial arts run of Tyron Woodley is far from being over. Former Ultimate Fighting Championship welterweight titleholder Woodley (19-7-1) has recently focused on boxing after fighting out of his UFC contract. “The Chosen One” has locked horns twice with YouTube sensation and entrepreneur Jake Paul, suffering back-to-back losses. Now, Woodley returns to MMA as an expert panel member on the upcoming Professional Fighters League Challenger Series. While talking with Sherdog, Woodley drew a comparison between what fans saw during the recent Super Bowl halftime show and the intent of the PFL judging panel: find the next big star and offer him the right platform to shine.
