Usman vs Woodley - The size difference

[shoorik1987]

Both guys are big for 170, but jesus christ, just look at the difference between Usman and Woodley. Usman looks the size of Yoel Romero (actually he is taller).

How much of an impact will the size advantage have?

Edit:
Some people say it's just the angle so I put in a video. Timestamped:

Till is bigger than Usman and he got shut down

You are right though, size could play a factor but only for the wrestling exchanges. Usman could be stronger, we don't know yet

 

[Mcountry]

Woodley doesnt seem overly concerned

 

[Klaavical]

Lighting and angles for fuck sakes

 

[Thenewguysnm1]

Woodley is the bigger man
Don’t confuse size and height
Woodley likely weighs more come fight night

 

[Fluffernutter]

What weight class did they wrestling at in college?

 

[Meathead Jock]

Woodley carries a lot of weight in his NFL running back sized thighs. I even felt "big" standing next to Woodley. Thick And powerful legs make his size deceptive.

It will be interesting too see how Woodley handles this fight. He has chosen to find holes in all of his opponents minus Rory Mcdonald.

That's a bit exaggerated. Usman is wearing shoes there and isn't directly facing Tyron. Still a big WW though.

Taller doesn't mean bigger

Till might be a little taller but usman looks far stronger. But I don't think that'll make much of a difference

 

[jonnyboy316]

Woodley has big legs

 

[xP]

Woodley isn't big for a modern WW. He's a thicc boi for sure but he's pretty short and doesn't have a huge frame.

Guys like Kamaru or Till are pretty giant compared to WWs of the past.

I updated with a video

Some of that is angles, but yeah he's bigger. Woodley was never this massive WW, he cuts from like 190lbs and has massive legs, doesn't have that big an upper body

 

[tdluxon]

Usman does look a lot bigger... he’s obviously going to be trying to wrestle, we’ll see if it makes a difference.

If Woodley didn't have tree trunks for legs he could probably be a LW. A big LW, but a LW nonetheless.

 

[nightfx]

Woodley is significantly faster than Usman though, very blacksplosive.

 

[Grapplefest]

Usman does look pretty massive. Near 6 foot and built like a bodybuilder. Would be a LHW a decade ago.

My guess is wrestling.
