Former UFC Welterweight Champion Tyron Woodley is expected to face Vicente Luque at UFC’s March 27th pay-per-view event. The matchup was first reported by Brett Okamoto of ESPN.
Should the fight be finalized, it will take place at UFC 260, which does not have a confirmed location at the moment.
Woodley will be competing in his first three-round fight since 2015 before he claimed his first UFC title.
Woodley has struggled since losing his belt to Kamaru Usman in 2019. Competing in two main event fights in 2020, Woodley lost bouts to Gilbert Burns and Colby Covington.
Luque will return after a successful 2020. Luque earned two wins in the year, defeating Niko Price and Randy Brown.
