UFC 209 medical suspensions

Tyron Woodley Stephen Thompson ufc 209

This past weekend at UFC 209, fight fans turned in for an action packed night of fights in Las Vegas, headlined by a welterweight title fight between Tyron Woodley and Stephen Thompson. Ultimately, Woodley won the fight via majority decision after 5 lackluster rounds that left fight fans booing ‘The Chosen One’ throughout his post-fight Octagon interview.

In the co-main event, Lando Vannata and David Teymur squared off in a highly anticipated showdown that was promoted to the co-main event slot after Khabib Nurmagomedov was forced off the card the morning of weigh-ins after being hospitalized and given an IV.

Also on the card, Alistair Overeem picked up a huge TKO win as he finished Mark Hunt with a brutal pair of knees that dropped ‘The Super Samoan’.
