UFC 209 Results: Tyron Woodley And Stephen Thompson Title Fight, Alistair Overeem Vs. Mark Hunt

It was a far cry from the incredible 25-minute battle both men put on last November at UFC 205, but Tyron Woodley once again left the Octagon with the UFC welterweight title.

Woodley recovered from a slow start to claim a majority decision over Stephen Thompson Saturday night in the main event of UFC 209. The event took place inside the T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas.

In the fifth and final round, it was Woodley the aggressor. He dropped "Wonderboy" and appeared to nearly finish him. Judges rewarded the champion, giving him two 48-47 rounds while the other had it a draw. Their first meeting was a majority draw.

In the co-main event, David Teymur scored a decision victory over Lando Vannata. The two were moved up to the spot on the card after officials pulled Tony Ferguson-Khabib Nurmagomedov for the interim lightweight title.

Dan Kelly scored an upset over former UFC light heavyweight champion Rashad Evans. Evans was making his middleweight debut. Also, Cynthia Calvillo defeated Amanda Cooper and Alistair Overeem knocked out Mark Hunt to complete the main card.
