Tyron woodley doesn't seem willing to face it again Stephen Thompson. After the draw between the two at UFC 205, the welterweight champion tried to close fights against Nick Diaz, Conor McGregor e até Michael Bisping, owner of the belt in the top category. The former challenger didn't like being ignored.

Via Twitter, Thompson teased Woodley with a photo of a contract he signed with the space for the champion's signature blank. The “Chosen One” responded and hinted at the possibility of facing Demian Maia, another welterweight on the rise, currently with six straight wins in the division.

“Obviously I punched you really hard in that fight. You're having illusions, maybe I'll give the title fight to Demian Maia,” Woodley commented after receiving Thompson’s photo.

The welterweight champion, however, seems more focused on getting a fight against Bisping. The two have been teasing each other since they met backstage at UFC 207 at the end of last year. Demian, in turn, has no fight scheduled and has not entered the octagon since August, when he submitted Carlos Condit in the first round.
