Given the weak state of some UFC pay-per-views (PPV) events these days, youād think the promotion would be happy to have a few more recognizable name fighters who could pad up the mid-card on some upcoming events.
Thatās not the case, though, at least not when it comes to Jorge Masvidal or Tyron Woodley.
Both men have been talking to media recently about a UFC return. Masvidal suggested a December or February match against Leon Edwards, while Woodley says his MMA break is over after two losses to Jake Paul and getting jerked around by a bunch of big talkers.
But, is UFC interested in their face-punching services?
āProbably not,ā UFC CEO, Dana White, said following the latest Contender Series event (full results here) when asked if weād see Masvidal or Woodley back in the Octagon.
That is both surprising and unsurprising.
Masvidal is on a five-fight skid ā four losses in a row in UFC, and a majority decision loss to Nate Diaz in boxing. Thatās a lot of red on his record, which hasnāt featured a win since 2019.
At least āGamebredā is a fan-favorite?
Woodley, meanwhile, is on a six-fight losing streak, but frustrated fans endlessly with his tentative fighting style at the end of his UFC tenure. Unlike Masvidal ā who still has matches with UFC, but was given special permission to compete outside the promotion ā Woodley fought out his UFC contract and is a free agent.
That gives Woodley a little more flexibility, not like thereās a wealth of options outside of UFC any more. As for Masvidal? Whatever happens with UFC, āGamebredā continues to hustle. At the end of September he teased something big coming up.
āIām supposed to get big word, brother ā big word, big news,ā he told MMA Junkie. āIāll tell you now: Itād be the biggest news of the year probably.ā

Former UFC champion announces plan to return to MMA after boxing frustration
Ex-welterweight champion Tyron Woodley suffered a meteoric fall from grace in the final stages of his UFC career, losing four fights in a row ā two decisions and two stoppages.
It didnāt get much better in the boxing ring either as he dropped not one, but two results to divisive internet personality Jake Paul, which sadly included being knocked out cold in their 2021 rematch.
Paul has continued taking controversial boxing bouts and is set to face Mike Tyson next weekend at the AT&T Stadium in Arlington, Texas ā an event that should have also included Woodley.
āI was originally fighting on the card, [but] we couldnāt find a formidable opponent that made sense,ā Woodley told TMZ Sports over the weekend, teasing that after a frustrating few years dealing with boxing negotiations, he wants a return to the octagon in 2025.
āYou know itās funny because I never retired or left MMA, I just took a breakā¦ I was an athlete from the age of 10 to 40, I needed a break because my mind was just always in kill mode.ā
After his 2021 rematch with āThe Problem Childā, Woodley would step away from competition as he looked to enjoy some well-deserved downtime but upon his return, he was met with closed doors.
āAnd then it was a whole year of cap where everybody ā Floyd [Mayweather] wanted to fight, then he didnāt want to fight, then KSI wanted to fight, then Manny Pacquiao wanted to fightā¦ Those are big fights so you canāt just evenly replace those fights.ā
