Strikeforce: Does a win over Andre Galvao put Tyron Woodley 'pretty close' to a title shot?

Or does the two-time All-American wrestler need a little more time under the lamp?
"I'm going to be very interested and watching [Diaz vs. Noons II]. Get through my fight [against Andre Galvao] first and foremost, but after that, yeah, I'm sitting down and I'm watching and I'm seeing what's happening because I should be pretty close. I should be pretty close to getting up in the mix. It's time to actually start looking at these opponents, how they perform with different styles, so when it's my turn, I'm well prepared."
"T-Wood" takes his undefeated record into a very tough fight against Andre Galvao this Saturday night (Oct. 9) in San Jose. Woodley tells "The Savage Dog Show" that his progress has been slow and steady by design, but that he's ready for a breakout year if and when he gets past the jiu-jitsu master this weekend. Anyone think he's ready for the top of the division? Or does he need to conquer a bigger name before jumping into deep water?

like the belt means anything in strikeforce
they jsut try and put on the best fights possible with their very limited roster. they have no criteria for getting a title shot or the significance of a title. heck, the WAMMA champion couldn’t even get a title shot
That's because the WAMMA belt is the only one more meaningless than a Strikeforce belt

They're getting better about it
The SF roster is generally smaller than the UFC’s, so they have to work within that system. In doing that, I think they’re getting better about setting up title matches, and paths to title shots. As their roster grows, their belt system will improve. Coker has been involved with MMA and fighting for like, 20 years. Give the man some time, he’ll get it going proper, and I support them.
I was gonna say Who?

Yes, because beating cans in a lower class org. puts any fighter in the top 5
Get real. Only a handful of fighters would do ALRIGHT in the UFC, and Woodley isn’t one of them.

really dude 3 times ! learn how to post
And the WW division of the UFC is being run by dominant wrestlers like kos gsp fitch. And tyron is exactly that a dominant wrestler who can submit someone. So i think he can do well in the UFC

Dude, seriously...
Woodley is an effing beast. Learn about him, watch him. You’ll be impressed
Woodly needs at least two top 5 opponents to be considered title contention ready
Black House will need to have their fighter ready for some BJJ but will need to refuel with some pretty good striking. My bets would be as follows: Woodley -200/ Galvao +180….
Everybody in strikeforce is in their top 5!
doesnt strikeforce only have 5 fighters in each division. everybody that fights is fighting a top 5 opponent!
You mean your odds would be, or are you actually betting on both fighters?

I’ll go to your site if I can put you in a kimura first.
exactly
He is like a matt hughes a dominant wrestler who added a subgame to his arsenal.

WOODLEY IS OVERRATED
All you guys that don’t know who he is, don’t listen to the guys on here swinging from his sack. He’s a good fighter w/ a ton of potential, but he has a long way to go.
that doesn't necessarily mean he's overrated.
Overrated means that people claim someone is a great fighter without them actually being good. Woodley is a good fighter, who is claimed to be good. Your argument doesn’t make sense.
Yes, he needs more fights and against solid competition, but thus far he has been very, very impressive. Definitely looking forward to seeing him again this weekend.
But
I wasn’t impressed w/ him when he fought Coy. His conditioning was terrible, and he looked extremely one dimensional.
every fight has to be perfect ?
