Today, I wanna talk about that crazy fight, Thompson vs. Woodley 1. Man, what a night! I remember it like it was yesterday. I was trying to find a good scorecard for this fight, and let me tell you, it wasn’t easy.
First, I jumped on the internet, my go-to place for everything. I searched for “thompson vs woodley 1 scorecard pdf”. I found some stuff, but it was all over the place, you know? Some forums here, some articles there. There was a lot of chatter on Reddit’s MMA community, people debating who won which round and how. It was interesting, but not quite what I needed.
Then I started digging deeper. I looked into the details of the fight. The stats were wild. Woodley had those powerful takedowns and some serious ground and pound. Thompson, on the other hand, was all about that karate style, trying to keep it standing.
The numbers were something else. It was clear Woodley landed fewer strikes but those were way more impactful. I mean, he got 61 of 141, while Thompson got 43 of 161. But then you see Woodley with 113 of 200 total strikes, and Thompson with 60 of 181. Woodley also got a takedown, which was huge.
I went through a few websites, trying to piece together a full scorecard. I saw that this fight was actually their first meeting, back at UFC 205. Their second fight, UFC 209, Woodley won by majority decision. But this first one was a real nail-biter.
After a while, I managed to put together a scorecard from different sources. It wasn’t perfect, but it gave me a good idea of how the fight went down, round by round. It was a close one, that’s for sure. Here is the table with the data I gathered:
- Fighter: Tyron Woodley
- Significant Strikes: 61 of 141 (43%)
- Total Strikes: 113 of 200
- Takedowns: 1 of 1 (100%)

So, that’s my little adventure of finding and making sense of the Thompson vs. Woodley 1 scorecard. It’s always fun to dive into these classic fights and see what really happened. Hope you enjoyed this little trip down memory lane with me!
