The Chosen one will face a nightmare as welterweight champion Tyron Woodley will defend his throne for the fifth time as he takes on Kamaru Usman in the co-main event of UFC 235.
On account of his bout at UFC 235, an old video of him resurfaced on Twitter dating back to 2007. The video shows a young, probably 24 years old at the time, Woodley, brutally knocking out Willie Dale at Genesis 3 back in 2007. The bout didn’t even feature in Woodley’s MMA record, as it was an amateur bout. However it highlights the fact that Woodley always possessed some brutal power. (via Twitter):
