Former UFC welterweight king Tyron Woodley will look to hit back from his recent defeats when he fights Vicente Luque at UFC 260 tonight.
Woodley has lost three consecutive fights to Kamaru Usman, Gilbert Burns and Colby Covington in recent years to fall down the UFC ranks.
The 38-year-old, who held the welterweight title for five fights, is determined to rebuild his reputation and takes on Luque this weekend.
Luque has a 19 and seven record and beat Randy Brown last time out in August.
Woodley v Luque will be the lead warm-up fight to the UFC 260 rematch blockbuster between two-time heavyweight champion Stipe Miocic and Francis Ngannou.

Tyron Woodley fight: What has been said?
Vicente Luque: “This is a great fight. It makes sense for this bout to happen now.
“Woodley is an ex-champion. He’s not in a good spot right now, but he remains highly dangerous.
“He has several great wins in his career, and I’m on a new winning streak. I’m hungry to get a title shot.
“Both of us have something to prove. He wants to be champ again, and I want to prove that I can also get there and be one of the most dominant fighters in our weight class.
“I believe now is the ideal time for this fight. Fans should not miss this one.”
