Woodley, who is now set to fight Stephen ‘Wonderboy’ Thompson at UFC 205, the UFC’s historic event in New York, became furious on social media when the UFC Fight Pass Twitter account posted a video of Nate Marquardt knocking out Woodley back in 2012.

Woodley’s loss to Marquardt came in 2012, back in the Strikeforce days. The fight was for the vacant Strikeforce welterweight championship, and saw Woodley suffer the first loss of his professional MMA career. The fight also served as Woodley’s last fight before being signed to the UFC.
