For weeks, the UFC has attempted to set up a rematch between Stephen Thompson and UFC welterweight champion Tyron Woodley for March 4 at UFC 209 to no avail.
Thompson and Woodley have unfinished business dating back to their first meeting at UFC 205, which ended with Woodley retaining his belt with a razor-thin majority draw. Woodley has since called out a litany of foes for his next title defense, a list that has included seemingly everyone but Thompson. And an exasperated “Wonderboy” finally aired his frustration on Monday.
“I was given a contract weeks ago and it’s been signed for weeks,” Thompson said on The MMA Hour.
