UFC Welterweight Champion Tyron Woodley I'm sure he can deal with it without any problems. Stephen Thompson at UFC 209 in Las Vegas, USA. Let us remind you that the first fight between the fighters took place in November, at the UFC 205 tournament, and ended in a draw by decision of the majority of judges.

“Thompson doesn’t respect me,” Woodley tells bjpenn.com. “He doesn’t take into account the fact that I’m a martial artist, that I have excellent cardio. He thought he could finish me off in the later rounds, but it was in the fourth round that I did the most damage to him. I always respect my opponents, but Stephen did nothing to surprise me. I was ready for anything, I defended well against his signature kicks.”

“Stephen wants to transform himself, drink some protein and get bigger. I just need to stick to the plan for the first fight, but do it better. In the first fight, I only showed 25% of what we planned for UFC 205. If I fulfill 50% of the plan for the fight, it will be a very convincing victory.”
