Tyron Woodley Shuts Down Concern About Darren Till Fight

Tyron Woodley made his feelings known.

The post Tyron Woodley Shuts Down Concern About Darren Till Fight appeared first on LowKickMMA.com.

UFC welterweight champion Tyron Woodley fully understands the concern that some fight fans have about his next title defense against rising prospect Darren Till at the upcoming UFC 228 pay-per-view event.

That concern is Till’s weight as it has been widely talked about that he missed weight the day before he was supposed to fight former title contender Stephen Thomson and had to stay below 188 pounds until a few hours before the fight in order for the commission to sanction it but if you recall, he originally weighed in three pounds heavier than the maximum welterweight limit, which is 171.

As seen in the main event of UFC Liverpool event that aired live on FOX Sports 1 at the Echo Arena in Liverpool, England, the rising prospect picked up a unanimous decision win over former title contender but it was a close fight that has some people saying Till won while others say that Thompson won the fight.

Woodley shut down that concern by stating recently that he will fight Till even if he does end up missing weight.

“If Till misses weight we’re still gonna fight, it just won’t be a world title fight for him and he’ll have to forfeit a percentage of his purse,” Woodley said recently on his Instagram Live (transcript courtesy of MMA Fighting).“This is a big fight for him. It’s a world title opportunity and my gut says he’s gonna rise to the occasion. Whatever problems he had in the past with making weight, I believe he’s gonna make it. It’s too big of an opportunity for him not to. [And if he doesn’t] I’m not gonna hold up the fight. One or two pounds ain’t gonna really change up the dynamic or outcome of the fight so I’m gonna go into it confident and not worry about that.”

The UFC 228 pay-per-view event is set to take place on Saturday, September 8, 2018 in Dallas, Texas at the American Airlines Center with the main card airing on pay-per-view at 10 p.m. ET while the preliminary card will air on FOX Sports 1 at 8 p.m. ET and the promotion’s streaming service, UFC Fight Pass.

Eddie Alvarez’s Interesting Opinion On McGregor & Lesnar Getting Title Shots

Eddie Alvarez has given his take.

The post Eddie Alvarez’s Interesting Opinion On McGregor & Lesnar Getting Title Shots appeared first on LowKickMMA.com.

Eddie Alvarez has opened up on what he thinks of the recent decisions made by the UFC involving two of their biggest stars – Conor McGregor and Brock Lesnar.

Regarding McGregor, the former UFC lightweight and featherweight champion is clearly the biggest star in the Las Vegas-based promotion but although he pulls in some big pay-per-view buys, he doesn’t defend the titles he wins including the featherweight strap that he picked up once beating Jose Aldo and then with the lightweight title once he beat Alvarez as both of those times he never defended the titles and was later stripped but with his recent legal issues behind him, he’s expected to get a lightweight title shot against Khabib Nurmagomedov.

On the flip side, Lesnar, who is a former UFC heavyweight champion, hasn’t won a fight since 2010 and even tested positive in his latest fight against Mark Hunt two years ago but the UFC is granting him a title shot against Daniel Cormier in January.

Alvarez spoke with the media while promoting his upcoming rematch against Dustin Poirier at the UFC on FOX 30 event which will serve as the main event and during this media scrum, Alvarez gave his take on how the UFC is handling the booking decisions with these two fighters.

“That is the world we live in today, folks,” Alvarez said during the UFC on FOX 30 media day (transcript courtesy of Bloody Elbow). “We are all fools if we think otherwise. Brock Lesnar just walked in here and got a world title shot. This is what’s happening.”

“We have no control,” he continued. “The media, myself, the fighters, no one. The UFC says who gets the next title shot. I have no control of that. I beat the guys in front of me, I could dominate everyone. It doesn’t matter. The money fight’s what’s always gonna count.”

UFC on FOX 30 is set to take place on Saturday, July 28, 2018 at the Scotiabank Saddledome in Calgary, Alberta, Canada with the main card will air on FOX at 8 p.m. ET while the preliminary card will be split broadcasted on FOX Sports 1 at 6 p.m. ET and the promotion’s streaming service, UFC Fight Pass, at 4 p.m. ET.
