Woodley, a UFC star, was beaten by Jake Paul, the Youtuber earlier in the year and could be in line for the rematch he has been calling for.
He posted on Instagram, which has only fuelled speculation.
" Very blessed and thankful
God doesn't keep count of our transgression towards him
Remember that next time, we are unconvincing"

Fury's training and preparation has hit several obstacles ahead of the fight. The young fighter was set to train in the states, but flew back to the UK for personal reasons
He's trained with his brother Tyson and Father, but Tommy caught a cold.
Paul has always believed that the fight would get called off due to droughts, he told Fury to 'make sure he shows up' during the pair's foul-mouthed press conference
Jake revealed to TMZ last month: “We’re going back and forth in the DMs right now, me and Tyson, sending each other voice messages, which is pretty funny.
“I’m calling his brother a squid, he’s saying, ‘He’s gonna annihilate you Jakey boy.’
“I’ll play you one.”
The decision to pull out is likely to attract criticism.
