Tyron Woodley Removed From UFC Rankings

Woodley was riding a seven-fight undefeated streak at the peak of his success as UFC welterweight champion. A lifeless loss to Kamaru Usman in 2019 kicked off a four-fight losing skid to Usman, Gilbert Burns, Colby Covington (by unanimous decision) and Vicente Luque (first-round submission).
Woodley has been non-committal about his UFC future; however, his loss to Luque at UFC 260 was the final fight on his current contract. After the fight, UFC President Dana White suggested Woodley should retire.
