UPDATE: Darren Till now the betting favorite (-140) against Tyron Woodley (+110) @ UFC 228

The bookies didn't shift the line. The late money on Till did.

I'm assuming that people in the UK bit hard on the promos that BT Sport was running.
Also, I think all the pros backing till and talking about Woodleys lay offs helped.
Sherdog was all over till pre fight too.

Fact is, Woodley gets slept on - always.
 

Hands up. Was completely wrong.

I stayed up to watch (5am UK) and was dumbfounded when the tale of the tape showed they had the same reach. I imagined for some reason that Till would have about 7" on Tyron, gobsmacked. At the point they said the reach was identical, I actually said to my friends that it was terrible news. Honestly. :)
 
It's fucking ridiculous. The guy may be annoying but he is very likely the best welterweight that has ever existed: stud wrestler, beat the shit out of Thompson AND Till on the feet, outgrappled Maia, killed unkillabld Robbie, yet he gets NO love. Any shortcoming he once had, he sured up by now. I would definitely take him over a Prime SP.
beat the shit out of wonderboy

<{vega}>
 
I remember Strikeforce Woodley so I'll never forgive him.
