At UFC 228, which goes down on September 8 in Dallas, Texas, UFC welterweight champion Tyron Woodley will attempt to defend his title against undefeated British contender Darren Till.<\/p>\n

Heading into this fight, the 25-year-old Darren Till has quite a bit of hype behind him. Tyron Woodley, however, isn’t worried.<\/p>\n

\u201cWho\u2019s the fastest welterweight in the division? Who\u2019s the most powerful welterweight in the division? Who\u2019s the most experienced welterweight in the division?\u201d Woodley said at a media scrum this week (transcript via MMAjunkie<\/a>). \u201cSo what advantages do you have, because you\u2019re 24 years old, that I don\u2019t have?\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cI feel like I\u2019ve got to make my game plan of what I\u2019m doing based upon an intelligent fighter breaking me down and seeing his weaknesses and seeing what he can exploit on me,\u201d Woodley added. \u201cThe only difference is you\u2019ve seen me wrestle in matches, you\u2019ve seen me strike in matches, you\u2019ve seen me grapple in matches, you\u2019ve seen me brawl in matches, you\u2019ve seen me have to put on the thinking cap and have a chess match. He has one style of fighting. He has one way to win this fight. And if you add in his youth and his hunger and his confidence, he\u2019s a very difficult matchup. But I think I have so many different ways to win this fight.<\/p>\n

\u201cConfidence ain\u2019t enough. Being tough ain\u2019t enough. I want it just as much as he wants it. I don\u2019t want to be a challenger again. You know, life as a champion and life as a challenger are two separate things. I want to continue to have a platform to use to inspire and motivate to do positive things with. I want to consistently be able to provide a lifestyle for my family, so they have opportunities that I didn\u2019t have as a kid. And he wants to take that away from me. So now it\u2019s on.\u201d<\/p>\n

Tyron Woodley also reminds that this isn’t the first time he’s taken on a hungry, young, undefeated contender.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt\u2019s not the first young, undefeated fighter that I\u2019ve fought. Kelvin Gastelum was that guy, too, right?\u201d Woodley said. \u201cHe had what it took: \u2018Oh, he\u2019s young, he can wrestle, blah blah blah.\u2019 So I\u2019m right back in the same position. It\u2019s so funny that I consistently end up in this same position, that the people that I\u2019m facing are the ones that they\u2019re looking so far ahead.<\/p>\n

\u201cSo, once again, I\u2019ll be the spoiler. I\u2019ll mess up the plans, and I\u2019ll continue to be the world champion.\u201d<\/p>\n
