I was only going to watch the two main events. But now the co main event wmma bout has been cancelled. So, that brings us to Tyron Vs Till(DT). Frankly, it is not the match I wanted to see. I wanted to see Tyron go head to heas with Colby. For all the shit and cringy things Colby says, he backs it up and got to give him props for that. But like they say beggars can't be choosers. We have an undeserved title shot for Till.

I don't know what happened to Woodley the wrestler. He seems to have abandoned it and now only does the bare minimum to remain champ. I don't know if its a cardio issue but he has become a reluctant wrestler. Now, if both guys are going to be circumspect then it will be a repeat of Wonderboy vs Woodley 2. Now, Woodley has tremendous power in his hands but as always I suspect he backs up towards the cage till there is room left to go and then pounches forward at DT.

So, if I were Woodley I would very early on go for a takedown irrespective of whether or not I secure it just to put it in Till's mind that he just can't move forward towards me nonchalantly. But if Woodley doesn't and lets DT advance forward unchecked then DT will post probably outpoint him with a few kicks and strikes. I don't make too much of the height difference, for Woodley at 5'9" is used to fighting guys taller than him all the time. But I would be very careful of Till's elbows that he throws when the opponent is backed up towards the cage, which Woodley does all the time. He throws a faint and then the elbow follows.

Now, personally I would like Woodley to win just because this title shot is undeserved...but again in this WME era this is the new normal. The paradigm change has happened but I am still getting used to it.
