UFC 228: Woodley vs Till Full Countdown Episode

Well, it does a cliched effort to pump up the excitement about Till as a threatening challenger and Woodley as the now he's the champ and has young guys coming for him fresh off an absence due to injury. Woodley does some boxing at Wild Card (thankfully none of that sports science conditioning stuff where some guy has them tapping randomly blinking lights to increase reaction time) and Till doing Muay Thai padwork (there is literally never footage of him sparring or doing any grappling training in any footage I have EVER seen).

Schevchenko hits some pads on the beach and goes fishing to mix it up from showing her shooting guys (she's basically a movie character but in real life). Montano is, as always, facing someone everyone expects here to lose to. I just can't see her standing a chance against the life long combat sports athlete and one who's spent her career nearly beating Nunes and beating Holm. Anyhow, it is what it is.
