Tyron Woodley spent the better part of nine minutes zipping the lips of his critics.
Woodley successfully defended the Ultimate Fighting Championship welterweight crown and did so in sublime fashion, as he submitted Darren Till with a second-round brabo choke in the UFC 228 headliner on Saturday at the American Airlines Center in Dallas. Till bowed out 4:19 into Round 2, the Englishman tasting defeat for the first time in his 19-fight career.
Following a slow-paced an uneventful first round, Woodley dropped the hammer. The two-time NCAA All-American wrestler floored Till with a right hand, moved into top position and assaulted him with punches and elbows, one of which opened a cut near the hairline.
