Tyron Woodley will be looking to rebound from a loss to Kamaru Usman at UFC 235 that cost him the UFC welterweight title when he returns to action on Saturday to face rising star Gilbert Burns as a -190 betting favourite on theWoodley’s unanimous decision loss as a -210 favourite ended his three-year reign as the UFC welterweight champion, but with just one defeat over his past eight fights he remains the top-ranked contender in the UFC welterweight division going into Saturday night’s bout at...
The 38-year-old earned his first submission win since 2009 in his victory over Darren Till at UFC 228, but has more commonly earned narrow victories by decision. In addition to a split decision win over Kelvin Gastelum in a catchweight clash at UFC 183, Woodley saw a pair of memorable clashes with Stephen Thompson go to the judges, who declared their UFC 205 tilt a majority draw before handing Woodley a majority decision at UFC 209 as a -115 wager.
Overall, Burns is undefeated in 10 professional fights as a welterweight, including a run of six straight first-round finishes to start his pro career, beginning in 2012. However, he needed a unanimous nod from the judges in two of his three recent welterweight contests. And unlike Woodley, Burns has never seen action in championship rounds while racking up an 18-3 record.
