In the fight the MMA world had been waiting for, Tyron Woodley and Darren Till met inside the Octagon in the main event of the UFC 228: Woodley vs. Till pay-per-view on Saturday night, with the UFC Welterweight Championship on-the-line.
England’s favorite fighting son, “The Gorilla,” met reigning UFC 170-pound king “The Chosen One” in the headline bout of the evening at American Airlines Center in Dallas, Texas last night. Woodley walked into the cage with the belt and as he predicted, he walked out with it as well.
Woodley submitted Till via D’Arce choke in the second round after dominating both the first and second round with big punches, dropping Till in the second before ultimately finishing him off with the submission at the 4:19 mark.
With the victory, Darren Till suffers his first Octagon loss and Tyron Woodley retains his UFC Welterweight Championship.
