What's Next For Tyron Woodley?

At UFC 228 the stage was set, Darren Till made his walk to the octagon with a roaring ovation. The arena gets dark and Tyron Woodley the UFC Welterweight Champion makes his walk to the octagon with mixed reactions. Bruce Buffer makes the electric introductions and the fighters touch gloves. It is a slow first round as no real damage was done on either side. Tyron and Darren were just testing the waters, but you can clearly see that this is a different Tyron Woodley. The 1st round ends, and the crowd slowly begins to cheer for the UFC Welterweight Champion.

The 2nd round begins as Darren Till plans to start exchanging more trying to land some shots on the welterweight champ. Tyron reads the punch coming moves back to evade the strike and throws a punch that knocks down the undefeated Darren Till. "The Chosen One" Tyron Woodley jumps on Till landing brutal punches and elbows will on the ground but Darren is surviving. He refused to give up and be put away, but then Tyron locks in a D'arce Choke that is really tight as Till tries to squirm his way out of it. A few more seconds go by, and the undefeated Darren Till submits, the fight is over. After this performance, Tyron received his Black Belt along with his Welterweight Championship which is a huge accomplishment.

With a dominating performance and successful title defense, everyone immediately thought of the potential fight between Tyron Woodley and the Former-Interim Champion Colby "Chaos" Covington, especially since UFC 230 still does not have a main event still for that night. The grudge match continues to boil over as it has the potential to be one of the biggest grudge matches of the year right along with Conor Mcgregor vs. Khabib Nurmagomedov which is happening October 6th.

Covington continues to voice his opinion on how he is the real Welterweight Champion in the UFC as the match between Till and Woodley was a number one contender fight in his opinion. He also expressed that he would like to finally step in the octagon with Tyron at Madison Square Garden. During the Press Conference after the UFC 228 event "The Chosen One" Tyron Woodley also expressed some interest into finally meeting Colby Covington and shutting him down because it was originally Colby who was supposed to fight Tyron, not Darren Till. But due to a medical issue with breathing and sinus issue Colby did not accept the fight immediately he wanted to wait a month.

It looks like nothing will be in the way now of the huge fight between Colby and Tyron unless of course Tyron holds off and waits for a super fight to be made which is most likely not going to happen. It would be an amazing way to close out the night at Madison Square Garden in New York if they 2 top contenders finally meet on a card that is still rumored to potentially have the return of Jon "Bones" Jones.

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.
