Tyron Woodley is as disappointed as anyone about having to pull out of his UFC on ESPN 3 rematch with Robbie Lawler. Woodley, the former UFC welterweight champion, was looking to get back on track to a title shot by facing off with the man he defeated to claim the belt back in 2016. But a hand injury was the reason behind his withdrawal on Friday . By late afternoon, Woodley (19-4-1 MMA, 9-3-1 UFC) went on Instagram Live and talked about his situation. The former champ made it clear that he’s dealt with hand issues in the past and fought through them when he’s had to. But at this stage of his career, he’s not willing to risk it unless absolutely necessary.
