Colby doesn't have any chance against Woodley

Woodley is getting old though.
Shoulder surgeries don't help. Better than GSPs knees though

darren till was pressuring him against the cage on multiple occasions before the ref broke it up

colby via 25 minutes of against-the-wall bullying and elbows

if his plan is to wall & stall, he'd better hope he doesn't get the same ref
 
I can see Colby beating Woodley. No one thought he was going to beat RDA but he ran him right over.

If Colby comes in and fights like he did against RDA I think he'll win. Woodley doesn't have the best cardio and he can be overly tentative at times. That'll play right into Colby's gameplan.
 
This is the reason I love MMA....once that cage closes its 50/50. I want Colby to win for the meltdown reactions though
 
Woodley isn't a counter striker at all. He doesnt know how to set people up. He's always just sitting back and reactionary. That's even worse then an amataure boxer

He's a rudimentary striker who's only decent by MMA standards, who has only beaten specialists in MMA who lack the proper boxing

Conor and Nate both beat Woodley (Conor wrecks Woodley on the feet)

Woodley's weakness is actual boxers who know boxing

Woodley was out struck by Jake Shields for fucks sake

Colby can sure as hell beat Woodley


Woodley knocked down arguably two of the better strikers in history of WW. He is solid striker with elite precision, timing and no one comes even close to his level at overhand right.

Conor beats Woodley? That's just delusional . Woodley would make him look absolutely foolish and he wouldn't even need wrestling. Conor loves to stick his chin up in the air and Woodley overhand right would definitely find it's way to the home.
 
Colby will bring one thing that woodley hasn't seen in quite a few fights now, and that is not fearing his power.

Wonderboy in both fights, Maia, and Till were all afraid of his power so they just stood there staring at him instead of doing anything offensively. We have seen woodley in trouble when pressure is put on him, and Colby will absolutely walk him down and throw punches during exchanged and test his wrestling.

This is just an embarrassing post from you. You must be Woodley himself. You exposed yourself as nothing more then a delusional fanboy who doesnt understand striking at all

Till is an unproven green prospect who was taken to the limits by a can in a draw.

Wonderboy out struck Woodley significantly in both fights.

You Woodley trolls trying to rewrite history now

Woodley does that herky jerky weird stutter step he always does

Not really a good fient or misdirection. You can tell his intentions from a mile away

Look at how Woodley steps his back foot forward with his step-in right.

Woodley puts himself out of position and steps his feet parallel. (Amature mistakes)

When you step out of position/off balance like that, you have to reset your feet, and that takes time. You need to get back in position. Most fighters will insanely let the opponent reset because it's "expected" that that's a break in the action. "Ok let's get ready for the next exchange now"

The real greats will lead or dart in and ambush as the opponents feet are out of position and they are expecting a break in the action to reset

Wonderboy just darts in with the right

Kind of remind me of this (except Alvarez is a way better boxer then Woodley who doesnt step himself out of position)

Conor is simply on a way higher level, doing it on a way higher level with far greater defensive responsibility, control through out, poise, technique, and execution etc

Look how Conor is the one dictating and controlling through out with his leadhand game as well etc

Where as Wonderboy is just kind of sitting back and reacting

Pre-emptive actions/being pro-active>>>being reactive

There were many exchanges of Woodley getting countered by Wonderboy/getting out struck, where you could note Woodley's habits and flaws and start to get a crystal clear picture of just how badly Conor could and would counter fuck Woodley


Anyway, it really is being downplayed just how much success/domination Wonderboy had over Woodley himself

Heck it was Wonderboy hitting pull counters on Woodley's jab

Woodley also had great success leading to the body and then following up top

Right straight to the body to get Woodley thinking on defending the body, and then WB would follow up with a left straight up top.

Was great work.

Woodley really only had 2 moments in 2 fights against Wonderboy. They were BIG moments

But take those moments out and Wonderboy wipes Woodley out 9 rounds to 1 round

Wonderboy had both fights in the bag. He just needed to stay aware, and NOT LET Woodley build forward momentum with his bumrushes and eventually find the right hand.

Shouldve simply stepped in toward Woodley to smoother the bumrush and not allow Woodley to eventually punch with Wonderboy and catch him with a right. Wrap him up and then disengage.

Or plant and counter

Woodley was out struck on the feet by Jake Shields for fucks sakes.

Woodley isn't on Conor's level genetically, skill wise, and stylistically

Woodley is a terrible flawed striker with nothing but an overhand right who catches specialists.

Boxers are Woodley's weakness
 
It's a very poor style clash for Covington on the face of it. Woodley isn't a particularly active or versatile striker, but he's got one of the best counter right hands in the sport, and with the way Covington strikes (he's constantly leaning way over his front leg when he throws his left hand which is just welcoming the counter right hand), one might expect him to get battered on the feet. More than that, he didn't really have much success holding down the smaller and inferior wrestler in Dos Anjos. Things don't look particularly good for him.

I legit don't know if you're trolling or not.

Not going to waste my time for your biased option. Conor barely got through Diaz in 2nd fight and everyone knows that neither of them wouldn't have any chance against Gorilla, WB or Woodley.
 
Woodley is better at everything. Plus he hits way harder.

This one seems too easy.
 
Covington would give Woodley the hardest time out of anyone in the WW division are you serious? He fucking bodied RDA and RDA was supposed to be the #1 contender (dispite ducking wonderboy for that spot)

Colby's strongpoint is wrestling and pressure, I think it'll take time for Woodley to adjust to someone like Colby because he's been fighting nothing but strikers lately this would be a whole different fight for him. Anyone who says Usman is better than Colby is retarded, Usman so insecure he tells people he's only going 30% and tries to fight people when spectating PFL events. Biggest clown in the WW division, atleast colby would throw a punch that fucking can would try to hump tyrone to sleep.

I believe that Woodley power is enough to make him hesitate rushing for takedown and i'll also believe that Woodley is strong enough to stuff every single takedown. RDA is good fighter but he belongs to WW even less than Donald Cerrone.
 
Yeah I see a Tyron defense too, but i've been surprised before.
 
Completey agree, I doubt Colby troubles Tyron anywhere, still anything can happen.
