I hate to say it because of all the race issues that have come up over Woodley, but this fight really does draw a lot of comparisons to Machida/Shad. A karate guy with some great knockouts, but the potential to stay back and point fight to a decision, and a really good wrestler that has shown some devastating stand up. I'm not making the comparison as far as the results go, or the race thing, but stylistically this is a very similar match up.For sure. I just watched most of Woodley and Wonderboy's UFC fights, and I can't pick a winner. Great matchup. Woodley could KO him (dude has serious KO ability), but on the feet the edge goes to Wonderboy. If Woodley changes things up and uses his wrestling, Wonderboy could be in trouble, as he's probably not on Woodley's level.
Yes Kone is Pakistani and Nightwing bjj is vietnamese. I think.

There's just something about this face that rubs me the wrong way. And he always looks stoned.
