Check out the blog this morning for an exclusive one-on-one with rising Strikeforce welterweight contender Tyron Woodley. Instead of discussing his upcoming fight with Tarec Saffiedine, we put him in the fan seat and asked him to give a fighter's perspective on everything from GSP challenging Anderson Silva to the intricacies of Strikeforce vs. the UFC.

i like it! i had not known much about tyron woodley before hand, other than he's a up and coming star. but the guy is a humble fighter, he knows gsp is tops in the division and he doesn't go saying "i can whoop his ass!" like antonio mckee or just about every other fighter looking for headlines, and thats refreshing to see. please do more of these! a couple of ideas for yall (even though u prolly dont need em) is dustin poirier or stefan struve....some 1 like that. young, talented, and way too far under the radar.

Thanks jersey.

Been looking into getting Poirier ASAP. Some of these guys are tough to track down.

you'd wanna get Poirier soon tho, if possible, while his stock is as high as it is now. either way tho, keep up the good work.
