Stephen Thompson, Dana White Agree That Woodley Rematch Should Be Next

After battling to Tyron Woodley to a majority draw in the welterweight championship co-headliner at UFC 205, Stephen Thompson wants some closure.

“I thought that I did enough to finish out that last round and get the draw,” Thompson said. “Of course, I’d rather have the win, but it is what it is. We both went out there and fought our hearts out. I hope we can do it again.

“Nothing else would interest me. I want the rematch. I don’t want anything but the rematch.”

Woodley got off to a quick start in the opening stanza, as he took Thompson down and bloodied his opponent with a short elbow from top position.
