LowKickMMA will be bringing you UFC APEX results throughout tonight (Sat. 30 May, 2020) from Las Vegas, Nevada.

In the main event of the evening, Tyron Woodley will make his return to the octagon after losing his belt in 2019. The former champion was originally booked to face rising contender Leon Edwards in February before the event had to be cancelled due to coronavirus concerns. Facing him will be Gilbert Burns, a former lightweight making the move up to Welterweight then going on a tear boasting a five-fight win streak including most recently a knockout of former title challenger Damian Maia. The winner of this bout will have a strong claim at getting the next title shot against Kamaru Usman.

UFC Fight Night: Woodley vs. Burns Staff Predictions

In the UFC on ESPN 9 main event, former welterweight champion Tyron Woodley returns to the cage for the first time since losing the title to Kamaru Usman. He’ll face off again Brazilian submission specialist Gilbert Burns in tonight’s main event. ‘Durinho’ is looking to build momentum for a title run after stopping Demian Maia […]

LowKickMMA’s staff predictions: Woodley vs. Burns

Jordan Ellis: I think we will see Tyron Woodley get back to winning ways in this one. In my opinion, he’s fought and beat better fighters than Gilbert Burns. Woodley will at some point crack his opponent with a power shot and end the fight. If he doesn’t though it could be a long night if Burns is smart and using his wrestling and submission skills to grind out the win.

Prediction: Tyron Woodley

Abhinav Kini: This is a hard one. Gilbert Burns has been on a tear and should be very confident. Tyron Woodley, meanwhile, is the more complete fighter for me but hasn’t competed since March last year and is 38 now. I give the edge to Burns getting it done over five rounds.

Prediction: Gilbert Burns

Ryan Galloway: I see Woodley getting the finish early. While his last performance was lacklustre at best I believe Woodley still possesses the ability to beat the best guys on any given day. If Woodley can keep off the fence and negate the wrestling Burns is going to try and implement he should be able to find a home for that right hook on the feet. My final prediction is Woodley by TKO/KO inside the first 3 rounds.

Prediction: Tyron Woodley

Ryan Maccarthy: We haven’t seen the great Tyron Woodley in over a year so it’s going to be hard to tell what to expect. I believe he is the superior fighter here, although if Gilbert Burns can get him on the ground he could finish just about anyone in the world. Woodley’s power and speed, and high-level wrestling are going to come into play here. I see Woodley coming out on top via 3rd round TKO.

Prediction: Tyron Woodley

Tyron Woodley Plans To ‘Drown’ Gilbert Burns In The Later Rounds

Former welterweight champion Tyron Woodley has revealed his plan to take Brazilian submission specialist Gilbert Burns into the later rounds at UFC on ESPN 9 this weekend. Woodley exuded confidence while speaking with MMA Junkie ahead of his fight with Burns who he says has a good but limited fighting style. “This fight in particular […]

“This fight in particular with Gilbert Burns is, I’m confident because of who I am and what I’m doing,” Woodley said. “I’m aware of what he does, I’m aware of how he is – he’s got a nice little left hook, uppercut, got some knees and flying knees, kicks and punches and calf kicks. I haven’t really seen much different from him. I’ve seen his style, and I’ve kind of gotten it broken down, but the element of surprise is a mother(expletive).”

After taking more than a year off from competition Woodley is ready to get back to championship level fights, starting with five, five minute rounds against Burns.

“When you start doing stuff they don’t expect you to do, that’s what I think he won’t be prepared for. He won’t be prepared to get exhausted and drained, and I wanted this. I had the option to fight this fight in a three-round fight, and I wanted a five-round fight because he ain’t never fought five rounds before, not in the UFC, not to my knowledge.”

Woodley believes his experience of going the full 25 minutes in his first three title defences will serve him well against Burns who he thinks will struggle to cope down the stretch.

“So three rounds, starting off strong or loafing in the beginning to finish strong is not going to work, is not going to work in a five-round fight,” Woodley said, “That’s what my goal is: Just take him in that deep water and just trying to drown him.”
