Woodley vs. Thompson Gets Green Light, but Nurmagomedov vs. Ferguson Canceled (UFC 209 Weigh-in Results)

The rematch between UFC welterweight champion Tyron Woodley and challenger Stephen “Wonderboy” Thompson is set following Friday's early morning, official weigh-in event in Las Vegas. The UF 209 co-main event, however, has been scratched.

Woodley and Thompson first fought at UFC 205 in New York last November, but the fight ended in a majority draw, so they'll run it back at UFC 209 on Saturday night at T-Mobile Arena.

Neither fighter had any issues making weight, but co-main event fighter Khabib Nurmagomedov did.

Nurmagomedov was taken to the hospital Thursday evening due to weight management medical issues. Though everyone was holding out hope that he might be able to continue, UFC officials announced during the final minutes of the weigh-in that he would not be allowed to fight.

Nurmagomedov's opponent, Tony Ferguson, had no issues making weight. He stepped on the scale at 154.5 pounds, but the bout was canceled.

None of the other fighters had any issues on the scale.
