UFC 209 offered some exciting moments and fun highlights throughout Saturday night in the T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas.
The main event, however, did not.
The highly anticipated welterweight title fight between Tyron Woodley and Stephen Thompson fizzled in the face of high expectations en route to a majority decision for the champion.
Sometimes a rematch between two evenly matched foes will take two opponents to an even higher level. The familiarity bred in the first fight leads to more action in the second. This bout was the antithesis of that.
