Press conference looks to be getting underway. Jessica Andrade up first.

Andrade says she was looking to make a statement. Had private muay thai classes every day and wanted to go toe-to-toe.

Andrade says she was looking for the perfect strike. Andrade believes her strength would be her advantage over Rose. Thinks she can "rough things up"

Andrade says she won a bonus tonight. "More money to put towards beating Rose."

That's it for Andrade

Woodley up now.

Woodley knew he could wear Till down "punch by punch"
— Fightful MMA (@FightfulMMA) September 9, 2018

Only thing Woodley cares about is winning. Says winning answers all questions. Thinks Till will rebuild himself and learn from this.
— Fightful MMA (@FightfulMMA) September 9, 2018

Woodley tells the story of meeting Din Thomas. Just randomly asked if he would corner him when he was an unknown and Din was a top lightweight. Gives a lot of credit to Din as his head coach.
— Fightful MMA (@FightfulMMA) September 9, 2018

Woodley laughs at the mention of Covington. "He had a chance. He let Till take his whoopin for him. He had his chance to be here. He bitched out." However, Woodley says he'll fight anyone.
— Fightful MMA (@FightfulMMA) September 9, 2018

Woodley says he can fight in November at MSG. "They aint go no main event? Where's my manager?"
— Fightful MMA (@FightfulMMA) September 9, 2018

Woodley says a GSP fight has always appealed to him, but doesn't think GSP wants the fight. "I told myself I had to beat him to be the greatest. But I don't."
— Fightful MMA (@FightfulMMA) September 9, 2018

"Dana might say something this week. Next week he might say something different. I don't take offense to it" - Woodley
— Fightful MMA (@FightfulMMA) September 9, 2018

Woodley says it would make sense of Usman and Colby to fight to see who gets the title shot.
— Fightful MMA (@FightfulMMA) September 9, 2018

Woodley praises the skills and composure Usman. "The tougher the opponent, the more I get up." Says TIll got him up because he came in hungry.
— Fightful MMA (@FightfulMMA) September 9, 2018

Woodley says Till told him after the fight that he doesn't deserve the criticism he gets as the champion.
— Fightful MMA (@FightfulMMA) September 9, 2018

Woodley calls Covington "Queefington." Says he doesn't deserve to be in the sport.
— Fightful MMA (@FightfulMMA) September 9, 2018

Woodley says he's the last guy from his era to still being doing it and doing it at this level.
— Fightful MMA (@FightfulMMA) September 9, 2018

Woodley says he worked a lot to slip/parry the uppercut and counter. Paid off tonight.
— Fightful MMA (@FightfulMMA) September 9, 2018

Woodley thanks his mom for always supporting him before wrapping things up.
— Fightful MMA (@FightfulMMA) September 9, 2018

Darren Till at the table. Starts by saying, "It's hard to take a loss."
— Fightful MMA (@FightfulMMA) September 9, 2018

Till still believes he'll be the greatest. Says he was too relaxed and confident.
— Fightful MMA (@FightfulMMA) September 9, 2018

Till thinks he should have been more aggressive backstage.
— Fightful MMA (@FightfulMMA) September 9, 2018

"The weight cut was easy" Till still unsure of which weight class he'll fight at next.
— Fightful MMA (@FightfulMMA) September 9, 2018

"It just pisses me off that someone is better than me. He's not a better fighter, tonight he was just better."
— Fightful MMA (@FightfulMMA) September 9, 2018

Till says only a handful of people haven't experienced losing. Says he's lost before. "there will probably be another loss." Reiterates that he'll be the greatest.
— Fightful MMA (@FightfulMMA) September 9, 2018

"I'm laughing before I don't want to cry." Till says he felt great "up until an hour ago. Then it's been shit."
— Fightful MMA (@FightfulMMA) September 9, 2018

Till believe he was the stronger fighter. Thinks he should have been more aggressive early.
— Fightful MMA (@FightfulMMA) September 9, 2018

Till says that even though he hated Woodley coming into the fight, he wasn't going to disrespect his family. Says Woodley's mom gave him advice. Doesn't think Woodley gets the credit he deserves.
— Fightful MMA (@FightfulMMA) September 9, 2018

That's it for Till. Very humble in defeat but the loss clearly eating at him.
— Fightful MMA (@FightfulMMA) September 9, 2018

Looks like that'll do it for the press conference. No Dana White or UFC rep.
