Re: UFC 228: Woodley v Till

The main event will be very interesting. This is a very difficult match up for Woodley. Good strikers who pressure him up against the cage and are actually active (like Rory and Nate Marquardt did) are his kryptonite. Till's Muay Thai is better than both their's, and he has more than enough power to finish him as well. The only thing we don't know about Till is how he will handle an elite level wrestler. However, Woodley doesn't really use his offensive wrestling much anyways, so I'm not sure how much that will come into play.

I'm going with Till by KO/TKO in this one.

Re: UFC 228: Woodley v Till

I'm worried. Both have proven to be counter-strikers more than willing to lower their output, and dance around eachother for rounds.

Woodley VS Thompson II
Thompson VS Till

That's the kinda fight I'm worried we'll get. But who knows, we might get lucky and see a Woodley VS Thompson I.

I think they should have just waited for Colby, he's ready like, what? four weeks later? What the hell is the point of being an interim champ? seems like there's absolutly no change except for some extra money.

Re: UFC 228: Woodley v Till

Also. Not to be glib, and fighters are a tough breed, and I respect them dearly, but Montano VS Shevchenko is such a horrible miss-match that I wish Montano just vacates the belt.

Valentina has gone 8 rounds with the beast that is Amanda Nunes. You can argue she won their last fight. Then she went down to flyweight and just slaughtered Priscila Cachoeira. Valentina is a legit world class fighter.

Nicco Montano is 4-2. None against UFC elite fighters. How is the Texas commision okaying this? She has to be the worst underdog in modern UFC history. If she wins it will be the greatest upset of all time, and she's the damn champion. what the hell happened here?

Also, if she loses, she will top the list with Germain de Randamie as the worst champions of all time. good job, ladies...

Re: UFC 228: Woodley v Till

Woodley ain't going do **** but just back up and frustrate Till ...who wants Woodley to come at him .

Macgowan called it ...I see a boring fight too .

Till ain't got nothing to loose he's not going to come at Woodley with that pressure . He's just going to soak up the media spotlight and dance his way to a lost decision .

Heard Usman was offered Colby in November .

Re: UFC 228: Woodley v Till

As for schevchenko vs montano ...hmmm . Blood sport ...yikes it ain't looking to good for her .

Bigger question is who you got Nunes vs cyborg tho ?

Was watching Rousey vs Tate last week ... wondering why she didn't just clinch Holly and take her down ?

Naaaahhh ...

This fight will go to a decision .

Twood would rather bang with RDA ...than dance to Till's tune . Why risk it . Why loose points to an unknown , unproven up and coming fighter .

Although at the risk of being labeled boring and Dana going tomato red at the post fight conference .

Re: UFC 228: Woodley v Till

Till is going to miss weight and Woodley won't take the fight or he will kill himself to make weight and not be able to fight.


The UFC better babysit him and make sure he shows up at a reasonable weight. He can't do that crap he normally does.

Re: UFC 228: Woodley v Till

This is some nonsense, for real. I don't like Colby Covington AT ALL, but why even put the Interim strap on the guy if he's not getting the shot. I think him and Woodley going back-and-forth would've been an easy sell. This is a very shortsighted move to me. Till is nice, don't get me wrong, but trying to make him the next big thing seems so forced right now.

The matchmaking and decision making, in general, these past few years haven't made a lot of sense to me. Watching guys work their way up the ranks and the title meaning something was a lot of the appeal for me when I began to religiously follow this sport, damn near 15 years ago.

There are still great fights all the time and the fighters are more skilled than ever, but I'm not sure I like the direction it's headed in. I think the high times from Ronda and Conor's run have given the new management the wrong idea about what fight fans want. At this point, they're just throwing whoever in the cage.

Yh definitely agree. While I think Till's hype is for real after watching him do well against a high lvl striker like Wonderboy, they are definitely rushing him to be the next big WW star/champ. I'm sure part of that reason is he's easier to market than T-Wood too. I would have rather seen Colby vs T-Wood tbh though. That fight would have probably put more butts in seats cuz of the drama alone.

Re: UFC 228: Woodley v Till

On topic though, pretty good card. Has some bangers. As far as the main event, think this is a bad match up for T-Wood. Long skilled counter striker with size advantage ain't good for him. The thing is T-Wood is also a counter striker though and likes to back up to the cage. Anyone of them can ko the other, but I think we may see alot of the same thing going on like with Woodley/Wonderboy like Macgowan said.

The guy met with the President of United Stated and showed him the belt for crying out loud. That could have been a stroke of PR genius if he wasn't stripped. Really unsure what UFC was thinking with this one.

Re: UFC 228: Woodley v Till

Having a hard time predicting the Conor vs Khabib fight right now (I have to re-watch some of their older fights to make a more in-depth analysis of the match up and prediction) but Woodley vs Till is very clear cut for me. I'm very confident that Till KOs Woodley clean within 3 rounds. I respect what he has done as champ, but this is a horrible match up for Woodley.

Yh bad match up for Woodley for sure. Till still has to be careful though as Woodley is very explosive and can also KO him too. If Till can't get the finish, I expect to see alot of the waiting game going on, as these guys are two counter strikers. We may just see Woodley/Thompson again if one of them doesn't finish the other. As far as Conor/Khabib, that should be easy to predict tbh. It's pretty much the classic striker vs grappler match up. Fight stay's standing, Conor wins. Khabib get's Conor down and he can't get back up, Conor's in trouble. Conor has a better chance surviving on the ground than Khabib does standing, but no guy is great at the others specialty, so all comes down to who can keep the fight where they're strongest.
