Wow, talk about brutal.

Talking about a rematch with welterweight champion Tyron Woodley recently, he revealed he believed he could beat him.

As per MMAjunkie:

When I fought Tyron, a lot of things went wrong that weekend. I didn’t make the weight, I lost my first professional fight, and it just never really settled well in my heart. So I’m just going to go out in public and say it: I feel very, very salty about it. I feel like I can beat him and I can make the weight healthy and fight him—get a rematch with him.

His last outing was in 2013, defeating Johny Hendricks via a controversial points decision which many thought should have swung in favour of his opponent – on the night, in Las Vegas, GSP revealed a lot was going on in his personal life and he ‘needed to hang up his gloves for a little bit’.
