Share this: [embedded content] Tyron Woodley has downplayed his fight against Demian Maia this Saturday at UFC 214, but the outcome of the bout now has added significance. UFC president Dana White announced at the UFC 214 press conference Wednesday that the winner of Woodley-Maia will take on UFC legend Georges St-Pierre. St-Pierre has not fought since November 2013, and his return to the octagon has been highly anticipated.
