Tyron Woodley’s coach explains strategy that led to flawless win over Darren Till at UFC 228

To swipe a phrase from the Mortal Kombat lexicon, UFC welterweight champion Tyron Woodley pulled off a near flawless victory in his UFC 228 title defense over Darren Till.

Woodley knocked the previously undefeated Englishman from the ranks of the unbeaten with a masterful second-round win via D’Arce choke submission at UFC 228. The brutal finishing sequence started with a right hook to the jaw that sent Till tumbling to the canvas, then saw Woodley pour on a steady diet of ground-and-pound en route to securing the fight-ending submission. In total, Woodley connected on a remarkable 77 percent of the 97 strikes he threw, while being hit by Till only once throughout the nine-minute fight.
