Back in October, top ranked UFC welterweight Tyron Woodley was set to fight former welterweight champion Johny Hendricks in what was believed to be a #1 contender fight. Unfortunately, Hendricks had a botched weight cut, and was forced to be rushed to the emergency room, cancelling the bout. UFC President Dana White stated after the incident that Woodley was now the welterweight #1 contender, and would fight Robbie Lawler after Lawler vs. Condit at UFC 195. At UFC 195 however, Lawler defeated Condit in what many believe to be one of the most controversial decisions in UFC history. Immediately following the bout, many called for a rematch between the two, leading many to wonder where Woodley stood in the welterweight division’s title picture

With that being said, Stephen ‘Wonderboy’ Thompson’s impressive 1st round TKO win over Hendricks this past Saturday in Las Vegas has everyone talking. While it’s been nearly a year since Woodley fought, he doesn’t want anyone to forget that he is the rightful #1 contender, not Wonderboy.
