I'm going to start of with the champion The Chosen One. The number one thing for Tyron to use is fakes. Everyone talks about the blitzing speed he poses it is nothing new for Wonderboy. So Tyron needs to get around his side kick by faking the blitz to get a reaction out of Wonderboy then blitzing in afterwards. Secondly he can not let it be a chess match like Rory MacDonald did. He has to take a page out of Matt Browns book and make it an ugly dirty fight and just grind Wonderboy into positions he isn't comfortable with. Although Tyron only has three takedowns in the UFC all coming from when he fought Condit. Tyron is a decorated wrestler he needs to use it during this fight or at least he has to threaten Wonderboy with the takedown. Finally he can't be scared of Wonderboy's leg most of Wonderboy's opponents lose as soon as he lifts his leg. Tyron has to shut his leg down before Wonderboy gets his timing because once he does it will be difficult to shut down.
Right now on to the number two contender. I think it is pretty obvious what the game plan if for Wonderboy and that is to keep the fight at his range and distance. He needs to keep the fight a clean pretty fight. So that he can slow Tyron down and keep the fight at his pace. He needs to stay on his side kick once Tyron has blitzed in to a couple of them Tyron will start shooting in for desperate takedowns. When Tyron starts to lower his hands to protect his body that is when Wonderboy needs to go head hunting but keeping the head kicks diverse throwing everything he has from hook kicks to axe kicks. Wonderboy needs to keep his back off of the cage he can not allow Tyron to settle in to the fight and built his confidence making him charge in. Wonderboy needs to be the one to back Tyron up against the cage just like when he fought Hendricks allowing him to tee off and pick his shots still keeping it a clean and pretty fight.
