He’s just coming to collect a fat check, and although I doubt he will intentionally take a dive, I think he’s pretty much going into it just hoping for the best and mostly motivated just to get his show money.
My advice to my sherbros don’t invest any emotion into Woodley, he does not represent MMA strikers and we all know it. He might still pull it off, but the more likely scenario as he goes in lethargic as always, misses a few telegraphed haymakers and gets embarrassed. And it’s OK.
Tyron Woodley, Ben Askren, these are not names the average person outside of sherdog has even heard of. They’ll say Jake just beat some MMA guy that used to fight in the UFC.
The only real intriguing fight that would carry a lot of meaning among both hardcore and casuals would be Anderson Silva right now. He’s the guy that carries a massive name and also the boxing skillset to represent the sports top strikers, and he’s around Jakes size too.
