Tyron Woodley will defend his welterweight belt against Kamaru Usman on March 2 and while there will be many interested onlookers, few will be more focused on the outcome than Stephen Thompson.
Woodley and Thompson have locked horns on two occasions already in what proved to be two very competitive fights, first in November 2016 at UFC 205 where the pair fought out a majority draw and then again in March 2017 at UFC 209 where Woodley edged out the victory by majority decision. Thompson believes that for him to get another shot at the title, it’ll have to be against a different opponent as fans are most likely not keen on a trilogy fight between him and Woodley at this stage.
