UFC 205: Tyrone Woodley opens as underdog in first-ever title defense against Stephen Thompson in New York

I get the feeling Tyron Woodley is starting to feel bit like Rodney Dangerfield.

That's because the oddsmakers over at MMAOddsBreaker.com (via MMA Junkie), aren't giving the newly-crowned Welterweight champion any respect when it comes to his first-ever title defense, pegging him as a +120 underdog against Stephen Thompson, who is a the -150 favorite.

"The Chosen One" captured the 170-pound strap with a vicious first round knockout of Robbie Lawler at UFC 201 earlier this year (see it). Soon thereafter, Woodley caught a lot of flack from the MMA community after he dismissed "Wonderboy," preferring to lobby for "big-money" fights against Nick Diaz or Georges St-Pierre.
