The co-main event for UFC 209 may have fallen apart at the 11th hour, but thankfully, Saturday night's other main event in Las Vegas featuring Tyron Woodley vs. Stephen Thompson is all systems go for the welterweight title.

Thompson and Woodley both made weight on Friday with little complication. Woodley weighed in at 170 pounds on the dot, while Thompson came in a little underweight at 169 pounds. It's safe to say that neither opponent is playing games this time around and leaving things up to chance.

Unfortunately, both fighters know what the latter feels like.
