Check out the full fight video highlights of Gilbert Burns taking Tyron Woodley to school in the UFC on ESPN main event. 

The UFC on ESPN 9 main event was the setting where the promotion’s the #6 rated welterweight, Gilbert Burns, put it on former champion, Tyron Woodley, to win a one-sided decision. Burns struck early, rocking and dropping Woodley in the opening moments of the fight. By the end of the round, a major gash had opened up around the left eye of Tyron, but the outman did an excellent job of stopping the bleeding.

Burns then proceeded to dominate Woodley with ample aggression and a good amount of volume. He then struck again in the fourth frame, dropping the former champ with a flurry of hooks. This was Burns’ night from start to finish, and he has officially established himself as one of the UFC’s welterweight elites.
