We are always looking for the next big thing here at 3SS. We think that we may have found the next great 170 fighter in Tyron Woodley. We’re not the first ones on the bandwagon, but I really think that T-Wood has the chance to be something special. Here is the video of his latest win against Rudy Bears from last Friday night:
Woodley does a nice job in a few areas here. After securing the takedown, he uses his legs very well to attempt to pass guard. He works for awhile, but is unable to secure anything in his first attempt. He throws some really impressive knees, and takes Bears down off of a kick. He immediately looks to an arm triangle and is able to pass guard, lock it in and get perpendicular to finish it. That’s important because in a previous fight, he found himself in a similar situation but didn’t know how to finish his submission.
Color commentator Pat Militech calls him the best athlete in the sport, but I think that Georges St.Pierre might have something say about that.
