Yeah. Woodley does hit like a train but I'm a huge fan of the fighting style of Thompson.
Woodley won this match but what a dull match. It was obvious the respect both fighters had for each other. Thompson and Woodley hesitated throughout the match. They were both waiting for the other person to make a mistake or open up their guard so that they could throw bombs but both of them hoping for the same thing essentially led to a sort of deadlock. The only actual fight was at the last 10 seconds of the 5th round where Woodley caught Thompson and smothered him, seeing how bad Woodley was giving it I thought it was going to be stopped but the heart of Thompson is nothing but admirable.
A dull fight but a deserving win nevertheless.
(...and as always Khabib pulls out..)
