Photo: The (controversial?) scorecards for Tyron Woodley vs. Stephen Thompson 2


Here we go again, right? Tyron Woodley retained his welterweight title against Stephen Thompson in their main-event rematch at UFC 209.

But once again, it was close. Their first fight at UFC 205 in November was a majority draw, necessitating Saturday’s rematch. And in the second fight, one of the three judges had it as … a draw. But the other two scored it 48-47 for Woodley, letting him take his belt home, and sending “Wonderboy” away in disappointment.

It was a fight the fans at T-Mobile Arena didn’t seem to care for – booing was frequent in the fight. And many observers thought it was a fight Thompson (13-2-1 MMA, 8-2-1 UFC) had done enough to win, three rounds to two. But Woodley (17-3-1 MMA, 7-2-1 UFC) took care of business as a mild underdog.

Check out the photo above to see how the three judges scored the fight, which headlined the pay-per-view following prelims on FS1 and UFC Fight Pass.
