In a year that has already proven to be massive for the UFC, with one major card after another, UFC 205 on Nov. 12 at Madison Square Garden in New York looks to be the biggest and most important of them all. In honor of such a marquee event, ESPN.com is providing dedicated previews to all 13 bouts on the card, breaking down whats at stake and projecting who will win, along with quotes and statistics for each fighter.Welterweight championship: Tyron Woodley (16-3) vs. Stephen Thompson (13-1)Odds as of Nov. 5: Woodley +170, Thompson -200Dana Whites thoughtsIts an interesting fight because Woodley did just knock out Robbie Lawler in the first round, which is super impressive. Wonderboy Thompson has been on a tear, [having] just beat Rory MacDonald, and before that he beat Johny Hendricks in nasty fashion. So he beat two really good guys, and if you look at the size difference, Wonderboy is so much bigger than Woodley in height and reach. Its a fun fight. This is in New York because its a great fight. I wanted to build the best card weve ever done for Madison Square Garden in New York. Neither of these guys are from there, but this is just a great fight.Whats at stake?Woodley says he got the money fight after allOne would think a first-round, highlight-reel knockout in a welterweight championship fight wouldnt get you booed ahead of your next fight.Such is the case for Woodley, however, who acknowledges that hes headed into UFC 205 with a healthy amount of trolls in his wake. Thats despite a spectacular performance against Lawler in June.Woodley, who trains out of St. Louis and Milwaukee, believes its mostly due to misunderstanding. He said fans are under the impression that he purposefully sat out and waited for his title shot against Lawler -- he went 17 months between fights -- but those fans forget he was supposed to fight Hendricks in October. The fight never happened because Hendricks experienced a poor weight cut.After that, Woodley said the UFC made it pretty clear he was next in line. It just took a while for the promotion to tell him when he was fighting for the title.A lot of people, Stephen included, called it me waiting it out, Woodley said. I had a full training camp to fight Hendricks. In January, I was told I was going to be fighting Robbie. So I thought I was just waiting on a date. [Declining matchups] never happened.The negative fan reaction also likely stems from Woodleys comments immediately after winning the title, when he said he wished to have a money fight against Georges St-Pierre or Nick Diaz -- not necessarily Thompson. But again, Woodley said he accepted the Thompson fight the second it was offered to him, and as far as calling out St-Pierre, the former champ, who has said he intends to come out of retirement, Woodley wont apologize for that.Fighting is the only sport where fans dont understand this is our living, Woodley said. If I have a chance to make a larger amount of money in a legacy fight against the No. 1 welterweight in history, it makes sense for me to want that fight. You have a lot of pay-per-view money coming to this company. Why shouldnt the champion partake in a piece of that pie?This fight is still a money fight, though. Its breaking records. Fans dont realize that I got what I wanted. Im going to torch Stephen Thompson, and I made sure I get to do it in New York.Thompson: The (Canadian) elephant in the roomNine years ago, Thompson tore every ligament in his left knee. Doctors said his kickboxing career was likely over. In the end, they were right -- but not for the reasons they thought.Thompson, 33, worked tirelessly to come back from the injury, but it took time. During that process, he started working with St-Pierre at Tristar MMA in Montreal. By the time the injury was completely healed, MMA had overtaken kickboxing as his primary focus.When I got injured, I wasnt really sure where my kickboxing career was taking me, Thompson said. I had been fighting every weekend since I was 15. I was getting a little burned out, but then when they told me I might never fight again, it was crushing.I believe everything happens for a reason, and I wouldnt be where I am today without that injury. During that time, I transitioned to MMA, but I also got back a fire to compete. So when I did jump into MMA, I wasnt burned out at all anymore.St-Pierre was around for a crucial period of Thompsons transition, which has an impact on his current situation. Thompson is favored to win the welterweight title over Woodley, and if he does, one of the biggest fights for him would be a defense against St-Pierre.Thompson has already gone on record saying he believes St-Pierre would deserve a title shot, even though he hasnt fought since 2013. Due to the personal relationship with St-Pierre, its not a fight he wants -- but he isnt ruling it out, either.Hes a good buddy of mine, Thompson said. He was a big part of my inspiration. I was fairly disappointed when I had to fight another Tristar guy in Rory MacDonald, and I definitely have a closer relationship with Georges than Rory.I wouldnt want that fight to be honest, but he is one of the best. If he does come back and wants to fight for the title and Im there? May the best man win -- but I wouldnt want to be the one to call for that fight.Key statsWoodley: 16-3 record (6-2 UFC); five of 10 previous champions have defended welterweight title at least onceWoodley: 68 percent significant strike defense, best among active UFC welterweightsThompson: 13-1 record (8-1 UFC); seven-fight win streakThompson: 4.7 strikes landed per minute, sixth-highest among active UFC welterweightsBreakdownThere was a time not that long ago that Woodleys collegiate wrestling background wouldve been the X factor in this matchup. Today, however, that is no longer the case.Its not that Woodleys wrestling cant (or wont) have an impact on this title fight, but it might better serve as a plan B. Thompson has not surrendered a takedown since 2012, which was also the last (and only) time he suffered a loss.Thompsons size and style creates so much real estate between himself and an opponent. Its reasonable to think an experienced wrestler, who is used to that explosive first step -- that shot, if you will -- would have as good a chance as anyone to close through it. Woodley is as fast as they come, and that closing speed applies to his right hand as much as, if not more than, his double leg. Then again, the same could have been said about Hendricks when he fought Thompson -- and he was run out of the building.Prediction:?Thompson by third-round TKOYou make the call: Discount Air Jordans For Sale .

The Perth-based businessman says he is realistic about the chances of keeping the Northern Irishman in charge for the long term given the success he has brought to the club. Wright has guided St Johnstone to three consecutive top-six Premiership finishes and won the Scottish Cup since taking over as manager in the summer of 2013. Brown said: His record speaks for itself, Tommy has done a terrific job. At some point unfortunately he will probably get taken down south or somewhere else but thats something that comes with success. St Johnstone manager Tommy Wright (right) and captain Dave Mackay show off the 2013-14 Scottish Cup to the Perth public Asked if a move for Wright was imminent, Brown responded: Not that I am aware of but I think in the English season when you get to November and December a few managers lose their jobs, probably because the transfer window is in January, so that will be the time well be on alert.Its very much a compliment. Hes doing excellent with St Johnstone on the park. Its not just the results, its the way we have been playing as well. We picked up the Scottish Cup a couple of years ago which is the pinnacle of the clubs football history. Watch NOW TV Watch Sky Sports for just ￡6.99. No contract. Wright was appointed to the managerial position having been the assistant to Steve Lomas, who left for Millwall in the English Championship, at the end of the 2012/13 campaign.And despite winning the club winning the Scottish Cup for the first time in its history since then, Saints chairman Brown has been left exasperated by the lack of impact their success has had on attendances. Derek McInnes and Steve Lomas bothh moved to England after successful spells with St Johnstone Its been fantastic over the last five or six years, he said.dddddddddddd How we replicate that is very, very difficult. But all aspects of the club are improving. Wed like to get more people to our games but we know the population of Perth is only 40-odd thousand so weve got to be realistic with that percentage.Over the last five or six years the success we have had has been unbelievable, but unfortunately that hasnt been shown in an increase in attendance and thats really frustrating.One way in which St Johnstone are branching out to new supporters is through their newly-formed club Trust. Since being granted charity status in April, The St Johnstone Community Trust has been involved in a number of projects across Perth and Kinross from kids coaching sessions to providing support to people with Alzheimers by reminiscing about old matches and stories. From our point of view and for our club’s size I think it’s essential we engage with the community because if you don’t then there’s no point in being here. Steve Brown, St Johnstone Chairman And Brown hopes this type of involvement not only helps the numbers at McDiarmid Park, but the wider society as a whole.He said: I think that (improving attendances) will be a slow process, we are going to be honest about it. Wed like to think that anybody that comes here, young or old, that they have an affinity with the club. The point of the Trust is to help the community and to look at the health and well-being in our society, especially in kids.The Trust ultimately engages the community and although we are playing in the Premiership, we are a community club. Its vitally important that we engage with all aspects of the community.From our point of view and for our clubs size I think its essential we engage with the community because if you dont then theres no point in being here.We want to broaden across as many activities as we can and engage as many people as we possibly can.
