LAS VEGAS – The ceremonial weigh-ins are complete for the “UFC 209: Woodley vs. Ferguson 2,” which includes a reshuffled lineup on the evening’s pay-per-view main card
In the UFC 209 main event, UFC welterweight champion Tyron Woodley (16-3-1 MMA, 6-2-1 UFC) puts his belt on the line against challenger Stephen Thompson (13-1-1 MMA, 8-1-1 UFC) in a rematch of their UFC 205 draw
Both fighters made weight at the official weigh-ins at T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas earlier today. This evening, the two got face to face at the ceremonial weigh-ins for the fans.
Earlier in the day the night’s co-feature between Tony Ferguson (22-3 MMA, 12-1 UFC) and Khabib Nurmagomedov (24-0 MMA, 8-0 UFC) was scrapped, so the new bout order was revealed on the stage, including a strawweight matchup of Cynthia Calvillo (3-0 MMA, 0-0 UFC) vs. Amanda Cooper (2-2 MMA, 1-1 UFC) elevated to the main card.
