In my opinion Woodley smashed Thompson and won their last fight. Fucking annoying that he didn't get the decision.
I love Thompson's fighting style, he's like a real life tekken fighter. But Woodley seemed to just be a powerhouse.
There didn't seem to be much outrage about the decision which surprised me. I don't remember Joe Rogan saying much about it.
I don't really care who wins but I'm still annoyed about the last decision, I hope if Woodley beats Thompsons face in again he gets the win he deserves.
Like I say I do love Thompsons fighting style, he could very well be a more skillful and more entertainin to watch, but I think Woodley just has powerhouse genetics so it doesn't matter what kind of backflips, kicks and spins Thompson can do.
Are you ready for the fire? We are firemen. WE ARE FIREMEN! The heat doesn’t bother us. We live in the heat. We train in the heat. It tells us that we’re ready, we’re at home, we’re where we’re supposed to be. Flames don’t intimidate us. What do we do? We control the flame. We control them. We move the flames where we want to. And then we extinguish them.
Impersonation is treason.

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..)
