5 UFC Welterweights who could defeat Tyron Woodley

#4 Ben Askren

Ben Askren could likely out-wrestle Tyron Woodley

Ah, the "Funky" one! Ben Askren is a former Olympic wrestler, and a man who's widely regarded as one of the best grapplers to have ever competed in the sport of Mixed Martial Arts.

Askren is a former One FC and Bellator Welterweight Champion, and the very fact that his issues with UFC President Dana White had kept him from signing with the company for such a long time, is truly unfortunate. Notwithstanding, Askren has now signed with the UFC, and is presently scheduled to take on former UFC Welterweight Champion Robbie Lawler at UFC 233 in January of 2019.

Alright, we ought to note here, that Askren has previously indicated his intentions of fighting all the best Welterweights in the UFC, except Tyron Woodley. That's because the duo are longtime training partners at Roufusport.

Nevertheless, should a fight between Woodley and Askren come to fruition, the latter would most definitely have a great chance of out-wrestling Woodley – earning a shut-out decision win on the judges' scorecards.
