Former Missouri wrestler and up-and-coming Strikeforce welterweight Tyron Woodley told Sherdog.com he is ready to step up to the promotion’s big show after he defeated Nathan Coy Friday night in Portland, Ore.

The undefeated Woodley went the distance for the first time in his professional career and squeaked out a split decision over the hometown favorite to run his record to 7-0.

The hard-fought decision was something Woodley said he needed to do to prove to himself and the fans that he could go the distance.
