The invasion has begun.

Tyron Woodley burst onto the UFC welterweight scene at UFC 156 with a knockout win against Jay Hieron in the first round of their preliminary card fight. In the above video, he talks to Ariel Helwani about the win and about his arrival to the UFC after a successful stint in Strikeforce.

While Woodley's knockout was almost certainly the frontrunner to win Knockout of the Night honors, heavyweight Antonio Silva ended up taking home that award after his destruction of Alistair Overeem.

Dana White said it best, referring to Woodley not winning KO of the Night, at the post-fight press conference: "'Bigfoot' f----- him."
