Tyron Woodley fights in tonight’s UFC 171 headliner, but he he’d be lying if he said he didn’t have a great amount of admiration for the man standing across the cage for him. Woodley (12-2 MMA, 2-1 UFC) takes on former WEC champ/ex-UFC interim titleholder Carlos Condit (29-7 MMA, 6-3 UFC) in the pay-per-view bout at Dallas’ American Airlines Center. Prior to the welterweight fight, Woodley has been less than complimentary at times, but when he launched his own career five years ago, he admits Condit was a source of inspiration. “Yeah, I watched Carlos Condit a lot,” Woodley told MMAjunkie.
