No Holds Barred: Tyron Woodley
Thursday, 05 November 2009
On this edition of No Holds Barred, host Eddie Goldman speaks with the
unbeaten mixed martial arts fighter and two-time All-American wrestler
and Big 12 wrestling champion from the University of Missouri, Tyron
Woodley (http://www.tyronwoodley.com).
While many champion wrestlers have been competing in the mixed martial
arts, few have become complete fighters who have mastered the major
grappling and striking techniques which are the foundation of the
mixed martial arts. In only four professional fights, however, Tyron
Woodley has demonstrated that he is taking a different path. This
former college wrestling star is striving not only to avoid
submissions while adding striking to his wrestling, but also to be a
total fighter.
In his most recent fight, on the September 25 Strikeforce Challengers
show in Tulsa, Oklahoma, and televised in the U.S. on Showtime, Tyron
Woodley faced a veteran mixed martial arts fighter, Zach Light, who
also had a notable wrestling background. A native of the great
wrestling state of Iowa, Zach Light had been a two-time high school
state wrestling champion there as well as an All-American at Ellsworth
Community College.
But the night belonged to Tyron Woodley, as he dominated the fight
before ending it with an arm bar submission at 3:38 of the second
round. His record now stands at 4-0, with all four wins coming by
submission.
We spoke with Tyron Woodley about his latest victory, his transition
from wrestling to mixed martial arts, and why he stopped wrestling. We
discussed his positive experience with Strikeforce as a fighter. He
explained why he believes that he was not chosen for "The Ultimate
Fighter" television show: because he would not act like a "moron". We
discussed his training with the world-renowned American Top Team
(http://americantopteam.com/), as well as at St. Charles MMA (http://
stcharlesmma.com/) in St. Charles, Missouri, near where he lives. We
also spoke about his graduate studies and his goals outside of combat
sports, and much more.
