Ferguson’s Own Tyron Woodley Becomes UFC Champion

Ferguson’s own Tyron Woodley is now a UFC Champion.

Woodley stunned the Ultimate Fighting Championship 201 crowd, defeating former champion Robbie Lawler in 2 minutes and 12 seconds to become the UFC welterweight championship at Atlanta’s Philips Arena. The knockout was the quickest  in a UFC welterweight title match.

Both Woodley and Lawler are teammates in MMA’s American Top Team so the win, albeit special was somewhat bittersweet but shouts to Woodley for bringing the title home to The Lou!

Woodley was born and raised in Ferguson, graduated from  McCluer High School and is a University of Missouri grad!
