One word thrown around to describe the UFC 209 main event Saturday night at T-Mobile Arena was “forgettable.” If only Tyron Woodley were that lucky.
No one’s going to forget about Woodley’s majority-decision victory (48-47, 48-47, 47-47) in a rematch against Stephen “Wonderboy” Thompson to defend his welterweight championship any time soon, because it was such a horrific bore. The canvas inside the octagon should have probably been repurposed as a dance floor for what was in all likelihood the worst title fight in UFC history.
“That’s O.K.,” Woodley objected at the post-fight press conference when confronted with the negative reviews of the fight.
