Welterweight champion Tyron Woodley meets challenger Stephen Thompson for the second time on Saturday at UFC 209 in a rematch of their epic, back-and-forth draw last November.
When the two men first met at UFC 205 in November, it was an odd-couple pairing.
Woodley had waited patiently for his shot at the belt, sitting out 18 months until Robbie Lawler was available and then making the most of his opportunity with a thunderous right hand that leveled the champion.
