“He told me certain aspects he was very impressed with and he’s very surprised and his coach echoed it and man, I can’t tell you because I’m going to be utilizing the mess out of it, but he was like, ‘man his game in this area is crazy, man’ and I understand why,” said Tyron Woodley.
“And fundamentally, it’s still a lot of stuff I got to work on… A lot of stuff MMA coaches allow you to get away with,” the former UFC champion added.
