UFC 209 takes place this Saturday night (March 4) inside the T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas, Nevada. The main event will feature a title rematch between Woodley and Thompson. At UFC 205, “The Chosen One” fought “Wonderboy” to a majority draw. Woodley kept his title as a result and he will put it up for grabs once again.
The co-main event will see Nurmagomedov and Ferguson battle for the interim lightweight gold. “The Eagle” has yet to suffer a loss in his professional mixed martial arts (MMA) career. “El Cucuy” is riding a nine-fight winning streak.
Below is the description of the “Countdown” special:
