Tyron "The Black Death" Woodley is the next pandemic to hit Mixed-Martial-Arts, and Rudy Bears is next to be infected by his power. Tyron "The Black Death" Woodley is thought to have been born in 1981 but the truth of the matter is much darker. "The Black Death" was merely awakened from centuries of lying dormant ever since he took a break from the mass destruction he leveled in Europe 650 years earlier. Now that Tyron is free from slumber he has once again been wrecking havoc.

Tyron's latest victim is Rudy Bears who claims to be on a 5 fight winning streak. Little does he know what is in store for him when he stands across the cage from "The Black Death". One look into Tyron's eyes and Rudy will forget that Tyron had already smashed his trainer Steve Schneider. It wouldn't matter if Steve Schneider was Rudy's trainer, BFF, Priest, or biological father, once he is face to face with "The Black Death" he will lose all confidence and begin to resemble RUDY from the movie, a little kid amongst more powerful and superior athletes.

Looks like there might be an addition to the undercard (Former MU All-American wrestler).... Stay tuned.

[jonathan]

Michael Chandler has been officially added to the Strikeforce undercard. Tyron is chartering a bus from St. Louis that will make a stop in Columbia on it's way to Kansas City for his main event fight. Included in the bus ride is the ride from STL/Colubmia (returning that night) ticket to the fight, Tyron Woodley t-shirt, and tailgate dinner.

I'll post details about the bus soon.

If you plan on going to the fight, don't purchase your tickets through TicketMaster. Email info@tyronwoodley.com for tickets

Awesome to hear that Mike is getting attention, I just hope they don't move him up too fast. Tyron took to correct route to getting to the big show. I'd hate to see Mike rushed.

I think Michael is fighting another MO wrestler Richard Bouponapaun? He wrestled at Belton.

[CoachLinhart]

Anyone have an extra ticket and or tailgate pass? Thanks!

[Jhambrick]

Man, why did T-Wood stop lifting weights? He used to be so muscular.
