Tyron Woodley has been a bit erratic in his performances thus far in the UFC. He's looked as fantastic against Jay Hieron, Josh Koscheck, and Dong Hyun Kim as he has underwhelming against Jake Shields and Rory MacDonald.

Still, when he turns it on, he pulls off some must-see offense, as he did Saturday against Kim at UFC Fight Night 48 in Macau.

Now he hopes to follow that up, and what he's hoping for is an exciting matchup. To that end, he's eying a fight against Matt Brown next.

"A fight against Matt Brown seems most interesting," Woodley said in an interview with MMAFighting.com. "Fans want it. He has a ton of heart and is tough as nails. Really looking at the landscape of the division, this fight stood out first. Granted it's one of the toughest fights, but it's a good match-up, people love him, he was a fight away from a title shot, ranked fifth, and fans would flip. I feel like he will bring the best out of me and test my limits. I respect him as a fighter and feel fighting him makes the most since for my career.

"I would also like to do this whenever they have Johny Hendricks vs Robbie Lawler 2 and have it be the co-main event," he continued. "That way there isn't a stagger on when we all compete and run into the problem of people already being paired up, injured, or a won-loss formula doesn't work."

"Plus, having the title bout after my fight has always made me send a message that I'm coming for you. I'll get up for this one."

Penick's Analysis: Woodley-Brown would make a lot of sense, though the UFC doesn't often book fighters coming off a win against those coming off a loss. That said, Woodley's not far removed from a loss himself, so a fight with Brown definitely works with where the two of them are at in the rankings right now.
