This weekend on September 8th at the American Airlines Center in Dallas, Texas the UFC Welterweight Champion Tyron Woodley defends his belt against #2 ranked Welterweight Darren Till. The UFC Flyweight Woman's champion Nicco Montano defends her belt for the 1st time against the #1 ranked former-Bantamweight Title challenger Valentina Shevchenko.

The current Welterweight King Tyron Woodley makes his long-awaited return to the Octagon to face a fierce competitor in Darren Till. The last time we saw Tyron in the octagon was when he successfully defended his belt against Demian Maia last summer at UFC 214. We have not seen Tyron in so long due to him recovering from injuries and surgery he recently had on tore his labrum in his shoulder during the fight which kept him out of the action of course. Tyron has successfully defended the belt twice against Stephen "Wonderboy" Thompson, and his climb to the belt was not easy as he has faced names like Josh Koshcheck, Kelvin Gastelum, and UFC Veteran Carlos Condit.

Everyone is curious to how Tyron will approach this fight, but he is really confident when it comes to defending his belt especially against Darren Till. A win over Till can be huge as it would be the 4th time he has successfully defended his belt and he will solidify his claims as the true king of the welterweight division and one of the greatest to run the division. It makes you wonder if Dana White may have a super fight lined up for Tyron Woodley if he can defeat Darren Till. It just seems like that is the thing to do when a champion has successfully defended the belt enough times in the UFC as of recently in the organization.

The "Gorilla" Darren Till is looking to turn his goal into a reality as the champion Tyron Woodley is in his crosshairs. The last time Darren was in the octagon was in Liverpool, England at UFC Fight Night: Thompson vs. Till when he defeated Stephen "Wonderboy" Thompson via unanimous decision. A win for Till will crown a new Welterweight Champion and become the first man to dethrone Tyron Woodley since he dismantled Robbie Lawler a few years ago.

In the Co-Main event, Nicco Montano makes her first title defense against the very dangerous Valentina Shevchenko. After negotiations dragged along the fight has finally been made. Nicco was last in the octagon at the TUF: New World Champion when she defeated Roxanne Modaferri by unanimous decision to become the first UFC Woman's Flyweight Champion. Across the Octagon will be Valentina Shevchenko who we last saw completely destroy Priscila Cachoeira in a brutal one-sided beating that really should have been called off early in the fight due to ground-n-pound. A win for Nicco will grant her a huge win over a tough opponent plus her first title defense. A win for Valentina will give her the well-deserved title and would be solidifying herself as one of the greatest woman's mix martial artists in the world.

Course registration at college can be a big hassle and is almost never talked about. Classes you want to take fill up before you get a chance to register. You might change your mind about a class you want to take and must struggle to find another class to fit in the same time period. You also have to make sure no classes clash by time. Like I said, it's a big hassle.

This semester, I was waitlisted for two classes. Most people in this situation, especially first years, freak out because they don't know what to do. Here is what you should do when this happens.

Ever since I could remember, it was a treat to receive Easter Bread made by my grandmother. We would only have it once a year and the wait was excruciating. Now that my grandmother has gotten older, she has stopped baking a lot of her recipes that require a lot of hand usage--her traditional Italian baking means no machines. So for the past few years, I have missed enjoying my Easter Bread.

Top 10 Reasons My School Rocks!

Why I Chose a Small School Over a Big University.

I was asked so many times why I wanted to go to a small school when a big university is so much better. Don't get me wrong, I'm sure a big university is great but I absolutely love going to a small school. I know that I miss out on big sporting events and having people actually know where it is. I can't even count how many times I've been asked where it is and I know they won't know so I just say "somewhere in the middle of Wisconsin." But, I get to know most people at my school and I know my professors very well. Not to mention, being able to walk to the other side of campus in 5 minutes at a casual walking pace. I am so happy I made the decision to go to school where I did. I love my school and these are just a few reasons why.
