That's what I'm hoping for, apparently the guy's put aside all the shit and just went at it in Thailand, hopefully we see the Woodley who starched Till and Lawler not the passive version who did literally nothing in the Usman fight. Not sure Edwards has the fire power to take Woodley out, while conversely Woodley certainly does.
Not a "complete non sense", but will admit there is a bit of exaggeration from my part.
I will quote my answer to ArmenianAssasin here "...will admit there is a bit of exaggeration from my part." I don't think he is for real the 2nd best wrestler @WW. But he is up there. From his last 10 oppoonents Edwards took down 7. He couldn't take down Kamaru, Cowboy and Pawlak. Although he did pin Pawlak against the fence a lot and ended up on top of him in the end of the 2nd after a failed TD attempt from Pawlak. And Leon then was not the fighter he is now. We know who Kamaru is and Cowboy has very underrated TDD. A lot of people forget this about him.
"1 fight removed from the belt"......Yeah 1 fight, 2 rap albums 300 TMZ interviews etc.....Leon has a very good chance because he's fighting well-rounded Woodley. The best Tyron Woodley died, he's almost 38 and on the downside of his career. The dude can still fight but i'm rooting for Leon here. Young hungry lion eats the fat cat!
You don't think the version of Woodley had anything to do with Usman? It was probably the same Woodley, it's Usman that dominated him and would probably do it even easier again. His hands against Colby were the best they've been. The dudes getting better, Woodley is past his prime. He's only going to get worse from here.
Solid point and I'll freely admit Usman looked amazing against Woodley, he showed some flaws against Colby but yes his stand up clearly has improved. I'd argue though Woodley did nothing that entire fight, either Usman's that much of a monster or it's a combination of Usman being on point and Woodley losing it in a hurry. Woodley Edwards will be instructive as to whether Woodley's past his prime, I mean he's what 37, only freaks like Romero seemingly improve in their late 30s so it's entirely possible he is nigh on done but as I don't see Edwards getting him down often, if at all, it will be interesting to see how Woodley fares. As Edwards for the most part isn't a finisher I'm hoping Woodley's still got something left otherwise there's the potential for this match up to be a rather dull 5 round affair.
I was surprised to see that as well, was thinking Twood would be like a -200 favorite
