One of the lowest IQ rounds I can honestly remember. Even before the foul. Dude knocked at -400 favorite down then took a knee in the center of the ring?

This fight is so ******* weird. Everything from HOW THE **** DOES WOODSON MAKE THIS WEIGHT?!?! HOW WAS HE EVER A HEAVYWEIGHT EVEN WITH THE MOST FLAB EVER, why did I just KNOW that Beltran was gonna have to get strict here (I literally said to myself before the fight started "wouldn't it be funny if tough dad Mike had to discipline some fighters lol"), and holy **** why the **** was everyone saying Saldana was ****?!?! Woodson is ****! Saldana looks good minus his negative IQ! And why didn't he finish the fight? Why didn't I do my own research on this fight and why didn't Woodson milk it like ***** ass ******* Berkhamov and Omargadzhiev?

If woodson packed on some weight and entered his fights healthier with more water in his head his chin might not be so bad. 145ers arent suppossed to be over 6 ft.

One thing about Woodson is that his 2 wins in the ufc and both were against not so good guys to say the least

Woodson is skinny af but that's not natural. I have a twig friend who's 6'1 and would probably be a flyweight or bantamweight if he were a fighter (without cutting), but he's one of those people who are twigs and cannot put on weight if he tried. Woodson fought at ******* HEAVYWEIGHT ONCE! I know it was the most out of shape, bloated, overinflated version of him but still. He shouldn't be anything below a ******* HUGE lightweight. If you're naturally a twig that can't put on weight, you're not getting anywhere NEAR 200 pounds even in your most out of shape form
