UFC 209 Woodley vs. Thompson 2
“I was walking around fairly light, about 182, so when I re-hydrated I only got back up to around 178, so I was a very small welterweight out there”. I don’t care about McGregor.

“I no understand this fight”.
At the time of writing, five-time kickboxing world champion and challenger Thompson is the favourite but it would be a bold claim to suggest this won’t go down to the wire once again. “This fight, for me, is fake fight”.
It is also unknown at this time if the interim lightweight title will be on the line, but either way, Johnson spoke of the bout.
He took the fight on extremely short notice when Ferguson was closing in on his own title shot and had him rocked in the first round. But we’ll never know, because Khabib’s team never called the UFC to get options.
Tonight’s bout will be for the UFC Welterweight Championship, as Woodley (16-3-1) defends his title against Thompson (13-1-1).

“I Like Stephen Thompson in the main event”.
When the verdict was in, it was clear that the judges had struggled to score the bout well, with two of them seeing the fight as a draw and one official leaning towards Woodley by one point. The belt is being awarded this time because McGregor, the current lightweight champ, is out on sabbatical expecting the birth of his first child. Opinions are split right down the middle after they fought to majority draw in the co-main event of UFC 205. “I think you have a little more duty as an entertainer or a fighter”. “And I understood that and I would have taken a step back gladly”.
“His uncle Dana give him gift”. This is business match-up.
Who knows if the UFC’s medical staff could have done something else to save the fight. They UFC should consider adding in a 125 lbs division for them so women aren’t forced to pull down to 115 lbs because they are too small to fight the women at 135 pounds. Twelve-straight wins, nine successful title defenses. “And afterward, we’ll see what happens”. Johny Hendricks, who use to fight at 170 lbs, was rumored to weight almost 220 lbs when he wasn’t training for a fight. “Something worse than El Cucuy”. Before their first fight, Thompson was landing 4.69 significant strikes per minute, whereas Woodley was landing only 2.50.
When he faced Tyron Woodley last summer, however, he didn’t get a chance to display any of these things. I could have tried to hurt him more with the ground-and-pound. Maybe Tony’s boxing is not good like Conor’s boxing, but MMA fighter, who’s better?
