Tyron Woodley vs Josh Koscheck penciled in for UFC 167

UFC officials announced the bout on Thursday.

Tyron “The Chosen One” Woodley (11-2) has accomplished a lot in his young career. A product of Strikeforce’s Challengers developmental series of cards, Woodley’s combination of strong wrestling, solid submissions, and improving striking has earned him top 15 competition. With wins over fighters like BJJ world champion Andre Galvao and Jay Hieron, Woodley will be looking to redeem himself after his last appearance, a boring decision loss to . Can “The Chosen One” beat his veteran opponent and claim a spot in the top 10?

Josh “Kos” Koscheck (17-7) was one of many fighters who made their name on the inaugural season of the Ultimate Fighter. The abrasive persona of “Kos” has not earned him many friends, but his right hand-dependent style has won him fans. Koscheck is currently in unfamiliar territory, on a two fight losing streak at the hands of Johny Hendricks and Robbie Lawler. Will Koscheck be able to keep himself off the block and get a win at the expense of the Strikeforce import?

UFC 167 goes down November 16th at the Mandalay Bay Events Center in Las Vegas, Nevada. The main event is the long-awaited welterweight title clash between the champion, Georges St. Pierre, and the challenger-in-waiting, Johny Hendricks.
