It’s hard to call any MMA fight ‘easy’ on paper. What appears to be the most lopsided of match-ups will inevitably involve weeks of grinding preparation, travel, and media obligations – to mention nothing of MMA’s relatively unpredictable nature as an athletic contest. It’s a sport where even heavy favorites who walk away with the win routinely find themselves in much more difficult battles than the odds would have suggested.
However, it’s also hard to call the fight that Tyron Woodley had against Darren Till at UFC 228 exceptionally challenging either. Following their battle in Dallas, TX, Fight Metric stats revealed that Till landed exactly one strike over nine minutes of action, before being submitted in the second round.
