It looks like “Wonderboy” is getting his wish.
MMAJunkie’s John Morgan took to his Twitter account to reveal that UFC President Dana White has informed him of a title fight at UFC 209. That bout will see welterweight kingpin Tyron Woodley (16-3-1) defend his title against Stephen Thompson (13-1-1) in a rematch.
At UFC 205 in New York City, Woodley and Thompson went the distance in a war that earned both men a “Fight of the Night” bonus. “The Chosen One” dropped “Wonderboy” and even locked in a guillotine at one point. Thompson hung on and fought Woodley to a majority draw.
UFC 209 will take place at the T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas on March 4. A lightweight title eliminator between Khabib Nurmagomedov and Tony Ferguson is heavily rumored for the card. Heavyweights Mark Hunt and Alistair Overeem had their bout announced for the event.
