Monster Beverage Corporation (NASDAQ: MNST) Happenings: Sponsor of the MMA, Early in March Monster Energy's Tyron "The Chosen One" Woodley defended his welterweight title after fighting to a majority decision in a closely contested rematch against Stephen Thompson at UFC 209 inside T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas, NV. At UFC 205 Welterweight champion Woodley came razor close to a knockout victory, and then moments from a choke against Thompson had to settle for a majority draw while narrowly retaining his title. Woodley and Thompson didn't provide a lot of action over the first two rounds of UFC 209, as neither of these two counter strikers were ready to throw first, lest they be exposed to a hard counter strike or counter KO, until Woodley was finally able to pull the trigger and use his athleticism to power for a takedown against Thompson in the third round. While Woodley (17-3-1) didn't deliver a lot of damage, he did effectively control Thompson for much of the third from top position winning the round decisively.

Former welterweight champion Georges St-Pierre, who was reported to have a multi-million dollar endorsement deal with Under Armour (NYSE: UA), will return to the Octagon later this year to challenge middleweight champion Michael Bisping. It's a match-up that has ruffled the feathers of 185-pound contenders. Fifth-ranked Gegard Mousasi doesn't think the UFC should have put the fight together. "GSP and Michael Bisping, of course they're going to take the fight because it's a good fight for them. The UFC should not make those fights. If they want to make a superfight, make Anderson Silva against GSP. Don't make GSP against Michael Bisping. (St-Pierre) hasn't fought for three years and never fought at middleweight for the belt," he told MMAWeekly.com.
