But that’s what Stephen Thompson vows to do after coming up short for the welterweight title for a second time against champion Tyron Woodley . After fighting Woodley (17-3-1 MMA, 7-2-1 UFC) to a majority draw at UFC 205 in November, Thompson (13-2-1 MMA, 8-2-1 UFC) got a rematch in Saturday’s UFC 209 pay-per-view headliner at T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas.

It took Thompson more than four years in the UFC and a seven-fight winning streak to get a crack at the gold the first time around
