Official Result: Vicente Luque def. Tryon Woodley via submission (D’Arce choke) at 3:56 of round one
Round 1
The former champion comes straight to the center and throws a hard overhand right as soon as the fight starts, before securing double underhooks on Luque. Woodley continued to press Luque into the fence, but gets turned into the fence himself, before they separated and were back to striking range.
Luque is pressing Woodley and controlling the octagon, but Woodley is returning with hard punches, trying to keep Luque at bay. Woodley lands a thunderous overhand right that stumbles Luque badly, before he gets reckless trying for the finish and gets caught himself.
Luque then landed a hard left hook, hurting the former champion even worse.
The referee was so close to stopping the action considering how hurt Woodley was, but Woodley falls and tries for one last takedown attempt. This put him right in the line of Luque’s most dangerous weapon, front chokes.
Luque wraps up a D’Arce choke, and Woodley was trying to circle the correct way in order to defend it.
However, the fence was in the way, keeping him from escaping, and he was forced to tap.
