However, he does think “Wonderboy” is quite fortunate to get the opportunity to be there. Woodley (16-3-1 MMA, 6-3-1 UFC), the UFC welterweight champion who puts his belt up for grabs in Saturday’s UFC 209 main event, already fought Thompson (13-1-1 MMA, 8-1-1 UFC) to a majority draw at UFC 205 in November. Woodley strongly believes he should have won the fight, though, and said his opponent should be humble and grateful he’s getting a second chance. “I think he needs to realize he’s blessed and lucky he’s getting this fight,” Woodley told reporters at today’s UFC 209 open workouts
