Dana White Reacts To Woodley vs. ‘Wonderboy’ Scores

It wasn’t the most crowd-pleasing bout in UFC history, but welterweight champion Tyron Woodley retained his title over Stephen Thompson in a heavily questioned majority decision result in the main event of last night’s (Sat., March 4, 2017) UFC 209 from the T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas. After the fight’s results were announced, fans and media

After the fight’s results were announced, fans and media members began to discuss the result, with many unsure how Woodley could win a decision while mostly moving backwards and throwing little volume while doing so for at least three rounds. UFC President Dana White agrees with them, as he told FOX Sports after the fight he had it scored in favor of ‘Wonderboy’:

“I had it 3-2. ‘Wonderboy.’”

When asked if he thought the fight might turn out to be another draw when the strange scores once again came up, White clarified the thought had never crossed his mind. He noted that one of the cageside judges scored the fifth and final round, where Woodley did do some heavy damage to Thompson, a dominant 10-8 for the champ, something White found to be ludicrous:

“I didn’t think it was gonna be a draw; I mean, from the fight that I watched, I had it 3-2 ‘Wonderboy,’ and one of the judges scored the last round 10-8, which is insane.”

But regardless of how he felt the fight should have been scored, White had to accept that Woodley won no matter what, and the fans will have to as well. Typically vague with the direction of the UFC’s plans for the deep welterweight division, White only confirmed that the win, which was Woodley’s first official defense, didn’t help his case too much:

“Tyron’s the champ, he won tonight. But you know, listen, me, the fans, everybody else – we’re not judges. The judges called him the winner tonight so he’s the winner. So we’ll see where we go from here. Listen, this fight didn’t help his case in any way, shape, or form. But I don’t know, we’ll see what happens from here.”

Tyron Woodley Says Hesitation at UFC 209 Wasn’t Part of His Game Plan

Tyron Woodley didn’t expect to be as hesitant as he was last night (March 4). Woodley successfully defended his Ultimate Fighting Championship (UFC) welterweight title against Stephen Thompson. The title bout was a rematch from their UFC 205 match-up. While their first encounter ended in a majority draw, the rematch ended in a majority decision […]

Stephen Thompson: I Definitely Won Three Rounds

Stephen Thompson thinks he definitely won three rounds last night (Sat. March 4, 2017) in his welterweight title bout against Tyron Woodley (highlights here) in the main event of UFC 209 from Las Vegas, Nevada. The pair met in a rematch of their UFC 205 co-main event meeting from last November, which ended in a

Stephen Thompson thinks he definitely won three rounds last night (Sat. March 4, 2017) in his welterweight title bout against Tyron Woodley (highlights here) in the main event of UFC 209 from Las Vegas, Nevada.

The pair met in a rematch of their UFC 205 co-main event meeting from last November, which ended in a majority draw and took home “Fight Of The Night” honors. Their second runaround, however, was anything but “Fight Of The Night,” as it was widely regarded as one of the most boring UFC title fights in recent memory.

After the judges’ scorecards were read, it was Woodley who walked out of the T-Mobile Arena as the 170-pound champion, but at the post-fight presser ‘Wonderboy’ stated that he believes the judges got the call wrong:

“Disappointed man,” Thompson said. “Worked my whole life to get here, I thought I won the fight but you can’t leave it in the judges’ eyes. That was all me.”

“I thought I definitely had three rounds, I know he took me down – I think it was in the third round, but I stood right back up. Of course he landed some shots on the ground but it didn’t hurt. Tyron is a big guy, he’s very strong, has a mean right hand, good takedowns, very strong in the clinch position, so I had to play it smart out there and just try and pick him apart. Use my side kick, use my jab, leg kicks, I thought I had it man. And I don’t remember what the scorecards were, but I think somebody gave him a 10-8? Which I don’t see that. Yeah, he knocked me down but I popped right back up. I was good.”

Fans in the arena let out a reign of boos during the five-round welterweight title main event, as both fighters implemented a rather tentative strategy to say the least.

However, Thompson reminded MMA fans that it’s a whole different ballgame when you’re inside the cage facing the top fighters in the world, so he couldn’t let the crowd’s negative reactions get him off his gameplan:

“You’re the one that’s out there, of course the crowd and everyone that’s watching, they’re not the ones in the Octagon getting punched in the face,” Thompson said. “You gotta learn to block that out and just do what you gotta do. I thought I did what I needed to do to get the job done, but it wasn’t enough, so I got to go back to the drawing board and hopefully keep this going.”

Now Thompson and Woodley have competed in back-to-back match-ups, with a definitive winner being somewhat crowned this time around. The next title opportunity is likely to go to the winner of the Demian Maia vs. Jorge Masvidal fight this May.

Thompson doesn’t know what’s next for him as it pertains to his next opponent inside the Octagon, and will have to regroup with his team and family to determine what the right next step is for him:

“I don’t know to be honest with you,” said Thompson. “I’m gonna go back with my coaches and family to talk about what’s going on. Definitely want to fuel up, took a big shot in the fifth round and two big fights in the fight before that so I just wanted to make sure everything is taken care of up here (head) okay. I’m a fighter, I’m gonna fight whoever, and I’m gonna go back and talk with my coaches to see if we should take some time off or if we should get another fight. It’s kind up to us to conjugate and see what we can get going.”

Vannata opened up the first round pushing the action. ‘Groovy’ landed a few nice kicks before subsequently blitzing Teymur and rocking him momentarily. Teymur responded with some hard shots of his own, knocking out Vannata’s mouthpiece at one point.

Both men would continue to exchange crazy shots, Teymur landing the hardest of them, before the round’s end.

The second round featured another barrage of high-level striking, with each man showing off their chin’s durability. Teymur again, however, landed the bigger and better shots, including a few nasty series of repetitive knees to Vannata’s body.

In the third and final round both men pushed the pace and were able to land their respective shots, however, Teymur landed three takedowns and continued his knee attack on Vannata’s body. The Swede ended the third round landing a nice series of shots to close out the bout.

Teymur took home the unanimous decision win after a great 25 minutes of lightweight action. You can check out the full fight video highlights here:
