Stephen Thompson is expecting his old foe in Tyron Woodley to return to the win column later this month.
Woodley is set to return to action for the first time since losing his welterweight title in March last year when he takes on Gilbert Burns on May 30.
In the meantime, Woodley has been receiving plenty of ridicule from a number of welterweights, including Burns himself, as well as mixed martial arts fans not only for his inactivity and desire for a rematch with Kamaru Usman, but also for his rap videos.
However, there is no better way for “The Chosen One” to shut everyone up than with an emphatic knockout.
And that’s how “Wonderboy” — who went 10 rounds with the former welterweight king — sees Woodley’s fight with Burns going.
“I think it’s a better fight for Tyron, for sure,” Thompson told MMA Crazy (via MMA Mania). “I think Tyron’s got the better striking, I think he’s got the heavier hands. I think Tyron’s gonna go out there and piece him up, because the guy is re-motivated.
“I saw him during his last camp and I actually chatted with him and we did an Instagram Live together and the guy is motivated. That’s a guy I would not want to stand up against in this next up-and-coming fight.”
Do you agree with Thompson? Or do you think Burns will hand Woodley his second loss in a row?

Popular welterweight contender Gilbert Burns claims he has now signed a bout agreement to fight the former champion, Tyron Woodley, on May 30. The fight has been long talked about and it now appears to be (almost) official.
Speaking on Twitter the Brazilian submission specialist confirmed he had signed his portion of the fight contract ahead of May 30, he wrote. “Bout agreement is signed! May 30th! Let’s go @ufc.”
Since March rumours have been swirling about a potential fight between the 170lb title chasers. They were supposed to meet on May 23 but the UFC has since pushed back that card until May 30 in the hope it will be able to take place at the UFC Apex Facility in Las Vegas pending clearance by the Nevada State Athletic Commission.
Burns is riding a three-fight win steak since moving up from lightweight to welterweight. The 33-year-old has picked up impressive wins over Alexey Kunchenko and Gunnar Nelson, as well as stopping Demian Maia in the biggest fight of his career at UFC Brasilia earlier this year.
Woodley, on the other hand, will be fighting for the first time since losing his welterweight title to Kamaru Usman in March 2019. ‘The Chosen One’ dropped a unanimous decision verdict at UFC 235 after holding the belt for several years. Woodley beat the likes of Darren Till, Stephen Thompson and Maia during his impressive reign as champion. He is now hoping to get back into title contention and it appears beating Burns is the first step to do that. However, right now, it remains unclear if Woodley has signed his bout agreement to make this fight official for May 30.

Burns made the offer after it was revealed ‘Jacare’ tested positive for the coronavirus and his fight against Hall was of course removed from the card. The UFC released a statement confirming the fight had been scrapped and that Souza, along with two of his team had tested positive for COVID-19, it read.
“The middleweight bout between Uriah Hall vs Jacaré Souza will no longer be on the UFC 249 preliminary card due to one of Souza’s COVID-19 tests indicating a positive result.
“In addition, COVID-19 tests for Souza’s two cornermen were also flagged as positive. UFC’s medical team examined Souza and his two cornermen and found them to be currently asymptomatic, or not exhibiting the common symptoms of COVID-19. As per UFC’s health and safety protocols, all three men have left the host hotel and will be self-isolating off premises, where UFC’s medical team will monitor their conditions remotely and will provide assistance with any necessary treatment.
“From their arrival earlier in the week until their departure today, Souza and his cornermen followed UFC health and safety protocols, including practicing social distancing, wearing personnel protective equipment, and self-isolating whenever possible.
“There have been no other positive COVID-19 tests reported from the remaining athletes participating in UFC 249.”
Burns took to social media to react to the unfortunate news and even offered to fill in for the coronavirus stricken ‘Jacare’, he wrote. “185 tomorrow I can do it! Why not? I’m already here in Jacksonville! #ufc249 I know a guy.”
The Brazilian submission specialist is rumoured to be fighting former welterweight champion, Tyron Woodley, in Las Vegas on May 23. Burns is coming off the biggest win of his career after stopping Demian Maia at UFC Brasilia earlier this year.
Do you think the UFC would allow Gilbert Burns to fill in on late notice?
