“I think that fight (with Nate Diaz) will happen, (and) I think it will happen this year, (and) I think it’s way more likely than people realize…There are conversations about Nate and I fighting in July.

Furthermore, Woodley insinuated that he’d be alright either way—be it facing Nate in a Catchweight bout or defending his 170-pound title against Stockton’s younger son. This fight would bring huge money to both parties, given Nate’s superstar status and the X-factor of seeing him move up to face the best 170-pounder in the world—Tyron Woodley.
