Morning Report: Tyron Woodley calls out Nick Diaz for UFC 209

Here we go again.

After winning the UFC welterweight title form Robbie Lawler at UFC 201 earlier this year, new champion Tyron Woodley immediately began angling for a title defense against either Georges St-Pierre or Nick Diaz despite general consensus among the MMA community being that Stephen Thompson was next in line. But St-Pierre was in a contract dispute with the UFC and Diaz had his own troubles with the Nevada Athletic Commission so Woodley fought Thompson at UFC 205, retaining his belt in a majority draw that many thought Woodley won.
