Although he might think he should be more aggro it will leave him so much more exposed. Should be interesting to see the adjustments and if they work.
For what its worth I don't think Wonderboy is a fav here, its coinflip imo.
I don't think he will go in scared, he didn't go in scared the last time, but every kick he throws leaves him vulnerable to takedowns and he has got nothing for woodley on the ground, so he will be cautious with it. Thompson's defence in the pocket is also not very good, I think Woodley could catch him again like he did the last time in one of his explosive flurries. I think this article outlined Thompson's vulnerabilities quite well (
