Fighter form and matchup evidence
In the main event though, it will be a do-over of the 'Fight of the Night' candidate from UFC 205 in New York, as Tyron Woodley rematches Stephen Thompson in his second defense of the UFC welterweight championship, after their first clash yielded a majority draw on the scorecards of the judges. How different will this one turn out to be?
Key numbers behind the fight lines
The UFC 232 card was moved from its originally planned Las Vegas setting to The Forum in Inglewood, California, shortly before fight night.
