Welterviktsmästaren Tyron Woodley kommer härnäst att ta sig an utmanaren Stephen Thompson, då de möts under UFC 205 den 12 november i New York. Woodley tränar bland annat med Sage Northcutt inför mötet, som han anser vara en bättre version av Thompson:
These young guys, man. Old man got to whip out those new tricks, because they come at you. I work with Sage. He’s obviously in a similar style as the opponent I will be fighting against.
He, just in my opinion, is just a little bit faster, and his strikes come with a little bit more force. His takedown defense should be better. His power should be better, so I’m actually training with a better version of what I’m going to compete with.
