Filed under: Featured , Featured Videos , News , UFC , Videos LAS VEGAS – UFC President Dana White was among those who thought Stephen Thompson did enough to take the welterweight title from Tyron Woodley in the UFC 209 main event. Woodley (17-3-1 MMA, 7-2-1 UFC) retained the 170-pound belt in Saturday’s pay-per-view headliner at T-Mobile Arena when he edged Thompson (13-2-1 MMA, 8-2-1 UFC) by majority decision in a rematch of a UFC 205 bout in November that ended in a majority draw . The rematch was thin on action and tightly contested, and in the end two judges scored the fight for “The Chosen One” while another had it as a draw. Only five of 19 media outlets tracked by MMADecisions.com had it for Woodley, and White was among the majority who didn’t score the bout in his favor.
