Tyron Woodley washed the taste of his disgusting UFC 174 defeat out of his mouth in a big way in the co main event of UFC Fight Night 48, as Woodley needed only 61 seconds to pound a mudhole in Dong Hyun Kim's face. And as soon as the smoke was cleared, already Woodley was thinking about his next fight.
As far as that's concerned, for Woodley's there's one person in his crosshairs - Matt Brown. But wait, there's more... Woodley also named the place in which he'd like to fight Brown, as he told MMAFighting.com.
Ironically enough, the last time he fought before Hendricks and Lawler at UFC 171. He was successful when Carlos Condit succumbed a horrifying injury, awarding Woodley the TKO victory in the second round. But in this case, Woodley will have to wait for Brown.
Brown is currently serving a medical suspension following a nasal fracture that occured in his 5 round war opposite Robbie Lawler at UFC on Fox 12, and he'll more than likely be out for the rest of the year.
Someone who may be able to fill that void in the mean time is the man that Woodley replaced - Hector Lombard. A very similar style and physical stature makes Woodley vs Lombard another interesting fight to take should he decide to fight before the year's finish.
Currently Woodley is 3-1 in his last 4 fights with KO/TKO wins over Josh Koscheck, Carlos Condit, and most recently DHK. His only loss comes from the hands of Rory MacDonad, who will meet Tarec Saffedine at UFC Fight Night: Halifax. Considering Rory has a win over Woodley, would it not make sense for him to get the following title shot?
Only time will tell.

I believe Matt Brown and Woodley makes sense. Man the welterweight division is stacked now a days.
