#4: Woodley silences his critics

Tyron Woodley shut up his critics by beating Darren Till impressively

Ever since winning the UFC Welterweight title from Robbie Lawler back in July 2016, Tyron Woodley has claimed that he’s the best 170lber of all time. Three successful title defenses would back that claim up, but unfortunately, the dull nature of those three fights meant that the UFC brass and fanbase alike didn’t really agree.

On the shelf since July 2017, Woodley returned to action at September’s UFC 228 to take on Darren Till – a heavily pushed contender who some, myself included, favored to beat ‘The Chosen One’. But Woodley managed to shut up all of his critics.

After a dull first round, the champion decked Till with a huge right hand, destroyed him with elbows on the ground and forced him to tap out with a D’Arce choke – being rewarded with his black belt in Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu for good measure.

The win was Woodley’s most impressive since the Lawler victory – and hopefully, it’ll go a long way to bringing some interest back around one of the UFC’s most dominant champions right now.
