UFC 209 will have two title bouts on the card. Tyron Woodley will look to defend his welterweight belt against Stephen Thompson, while Khabib Nurmagomedov and Tony Ferguson will battle for the interim lightweight title.
The welterweight title rematch officially headlines the event, but ‘El Cucuy’ claims that he should be the one holding top billing.
“(Khabib) pissed me off. I’m going to drag him into deep waters with a hammerhead. You guys are going to see f—king fireworks. This should be the main event!” Ferguson stated during the UFC 209 conference call.
