Really want to see Till win this but my mind is telling me Woodley will control the pace and win a lackluster decision. The way Till couldn't pull the triiger against Wonderboy was very telling IMO. He says it will be different this time and that Woodley isn't tricky at setting traps like Thompson but I think he's just talking. Woodley has the take down and a sledgehammer right so why wouldn't Till be as cautious if not more. Wonderboy doesn't have 1 punch KO power per se. And we all know how Woodley doesn't care how he gets a W. The height advantage and reach is the X to me. If Till will engage this could be FOTN if not the boo birds will be out by the 2nd.

Oh and the Zabit/Yair fight should be great also. Zabit is must see TV. He is one of those guys who's road to the title could be really short because of his exciting style and the fact of who he trains with.

During this interview with Till (8:56 in) after the UFC 25th Anniversary Press Conference, Darren explains that Thompson was very fast and clever when backed against the cage, something he thinks Woodley isn't as good at and says he will "march him down, and throw bombs." The biggest thing here is Till making Championship weight and it sounds like he is fully determined to do it.

Would love to see him do it. Put him against the fence ala Nate Marquardt.

True...making weight is mandatory. That extra pound for the belt is huge to someone who's absolutely draining themselves to make the limit.

Just saw the news. Wonder if the UFC will cut him again, and who steps in for Yair on two weeks notice. No one wants to fight Zabit, and for good reason as he is an animal.

Huge fan of both guys btw and would love to see it but I can see why they don't wanna make this fight.

Filling in for Yair Rodriguez is Brandon Davis who is coming off a loss to Enrique Barzola.

Some interesting matchups in this card. Andrade against another technical striker, Niko Price after that last Tko he got, Suarez ( I'm all on that hype train) , Jimmie after that vicious ko, then Till against the most Woodley . Can't wait.

Interesting that Price is a dog again. Suarez is the real deal. Jimmie Rivera should bounce back, but that loss was shocking.

Looks like Jarred Brooks will be the late replacement for the injured Ryan Benoit vs Roberto Sanchez.

tbh don't knowuch about other guy, but he's been a dog in most of his fights still flying under radar a bit. As long as her striking keeps coming along think Suarez is the next champ. just guessed wrong checked low kicked landed flushed but was crazy watching, agree but just feel like Dodson gonna jab and backpaddle though can see jimme having to chase .

Hard to find something to bet here. Shev and Zabit smoke their opponents. Suarez and Andrade will ragdoll Esparza and group. Maybe I’ll just parlay these 4 and swallow the reduced juice. Just can’t see any of them losing. Esparza and group are good fighters fighting against the 2 women in their divisions who are the worst matchups style wise imaginable. Feel sorry for them. 

Main event is sooo tough to call.
