Woodley, 38, enjoyed a three-inch reach advantage, but Burns, 33, stalked him throughout, scoring two massive knockdowns. In fact, Burns knocked Woodley down in the opening minute, using a right uppercut, a right knee and a then flurry of punches. Those blows opened a major gash over Woodley’s left eye and nearly ended the fight early. In what was likely the best fight of the night, Carlyle came out with a sprint and seemed to win the first two rounds.
