The two fighters will meet on the preliminary card of this weekends UFC 156 event card. Hieron says that despite the opponent change, that he is excited to face Woodley, who has trained at the same Xtreme Couture gym ‘The Thoroughbred’ has made his home for the last eight years. Lots more in this fifteen minute interview with Hieron.
