The UFC is headed back to Canada, where this Saturday, June 16, UFC 161 will go from the MTS Centre in Winnipeg, Manitoba.
The event will be headlined by a light heavyweight affair between Rashad Evans and Dan Henderson and will host a total of 10 additional bouts.
A welterweight clash between Jake Shields and Tyron Woodley represents one of the more intriguing pairings among those additional bouts, which is why the match is scheduled to be a part of the event’s main card.
Here we will take a look at the Shields vs. Woodley matchup and examine how it is likely to play out. We will assess which fighter has an edge in each of the striking, wrestling and grappling and submission areas of the game and use those assessments to project the probable outcome.
