But it just didn\u2019t seem to me like the Woodley team turned up to fight like they did (against) me.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Darren Till continued, speculating why Tyron Woodley performed so differently between the two fights. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cI know when he was fighting me, he was scared,\u201d Till said. \u201cWhen you\u2019re fighting a guy like me, you have to be scared. You know what I bring to the table. And he said that openly. I could feel fear, but that fear drove him on. He was so powerful and quick and aggressive.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cAs much as Usman looked so, so good in there, like a top-level fighter, Woodley just didn\u2019t seem like the same Woodley as we\u2019ve seen previously,&#8221; he added. &#8220;And he\u2019ll still go down as one of the best ever. He just didn\u2019t seem like the guy we knew. And that\u2019s not to take anything away from Usman. He perfected that strategy.
