Despite getting cut from the UFC, Tyron Woodley ranks among the most renowned combat sports stars on the planet. In his prime, Woodley rolled out some astonishing career performances which eventually made him a top star in the promotion. But with time, his magic faded, and he piled on consecutive losses to finally get released from the biggest MMA promotion in the world.
But do you remember Woodley’s last win?
‘The Chosen One’ was on a career-high until 2018, and his last win came in when he battled the Brit Darren Till for his welterweight title defense.

This fight was in contention for a long time because Till kept on winning and he added some noteworthy wins to his bag. That said, there was no second thought, and he was offered to fight the scary Woodley. The latter already had some notable title defense wins, but this time, there were millions of fans and experts who thought Woodley might get finished by Till.
The Brit had the advantage of his height and reach, coupled with some substantial ground game.
But when the duo placed themselves inside the UFC octagon, it was all about Woodley showing up his polished version. He couldn’t knock ‘The Gorilla’ out, but held major control of the fight. As a result, Woodley finally ended this fight with a vicious submission and won the Performance of the Night bonus as well.
