"A cautious start from Darren Till. A far more active first round from Tyron Woodley. In all of his title bouts he has not been this offensive."

Woodley v Till
It's Darren Till who makes the early movement towards Tyron Woodley and the American is quick to grapple Till. They're pressed up against the cage as 'USA' chants ring out around the arena. Now the Woodley fans have found their voice. The referee breaks the fighters up and we're back where we were.
Woodley then attempts to land a quick one-two on Till but he's unshaken.

Aaron Bronsteter: The American fighter getting booed in his home country while the European fighter gets a rousing ovation. Only one other fighter comes to mind with a similar situation. Darren Till looks to take a step towards superstardom if he can pull this off.

1. Constant pressure. Forcing Tyron to work will make him tire faster.
2. Feints to set up the left hand. Feints will draw Woodley's attack, allowing Darren to counter.
3. Left kick. Force Woodley to block with his right arm, negating his dangerous right hand.

1. Wrestle early. Get ahead on the scorecards.
2. Threaten with the right hand. It will discourage Till's forward pressure.
3. Control the pace. Has to stop Till outworking him.

"I am fascinated to see how Woodley approaches this one. His last three fights have gone to decision. He's been very cautious, guarded and taken few risks. When he did put his foot on the gas he has looked devastating.
"Darren Till is a very different opponent. he's aggressive and is bigger than the men Woodley has faced before. I feel Woodley has to start fast and assert his dominance as a champion."

The current UFC welterweight champion, Tyron Woodley has been the man to beat in his division for just over two years after beating Robbie Lawler at UFC 201 in July 2016.
Nicknamed The Chosen One, Woodley has defended his crown three times since - twice against Stephen Thompson, and most recently in July 2017, against Demian Maia. That fight was over a year ago, while in that time Darren Till has fought and won on three occasions - will this be a factor when the two meet in tonight's main event?
The 36-year-old from St Louis, Missouri is explosive and arguably the best wrestler in the welterweight division. But perhaps most importantly, he's a clever operator who knows what it takes to get the job done inside five rounds.
He might not be the most entertaining of fighters - his last title defence, external was deemed boring by UFC president Dana White - but he is a mightily effective one.
Image source, Getty ImagesIt seems like almost every talented and outspoken athlete in the MMA world is compared to Conor McGregor these days, but with Darren Till you can see where the comparisons are drawn from.
The Gorilla oozes confidence, ambition and so far in his UFC career has demonstrated the skills in the octagon to match.
Whether it's Conor McGregor, Tyron Woodley, Anthony Joshua - Till says he fancies his chances against any athlete or fighting style in the world.
Even Brock Lesnar...
Darren Till has some of MMA's and boxing's biggest names on his to-do list.

Andrade v Kowalkiewicz
Brutal.
It's a one punch knockout from Jessia Andrade, a piledriver of a right hook which catches Karolina Kowalkiewicz clean. The Pole crumples to the mat and it's all over.
Andrade v Kowalkiewicz
An incredible start from Jessica Andrade - she homes in on Karolina Kowalkiewicz from the start, swinging lefts and rights. The Brazilian is the one making the early moves.
