Stephen Thompson gav sitt namn ”Wonderboy” en ny mening när han under förra helgen avslutade Johny Hendricks under UFC Fight Night 82. Detta blev hans sjätte raka seger och många sikuterar nu om han ska få titelmatch mot mästaren Robbie Lawler.
Thompson ligger nu på tredje plats i rankningarna, med Tyron Woodley på andra plats.Thompson menar dock att fansen hellre vill se honom i en titelmatch mot Lawler.
Det här berättade Thompson via ”MMAJunkie Radio”:
You know, my hat’s off to Tyron and it’s disappointing that Hendricks didn’t make weight when they were supposed to fight and he was promised the next title fight. But I did fight the former welterweight champion and did beat him in the first round. That’s someone who has never been finished. I think I’m just more of an exciting fighter than Tyron Woodley. I think me and Robbie Lawler would put on a better show. I think more people would be more apt to tune into it as well.
Lawler mötte senast Carlos Condit under UFC 195, då han segrade via delat domslut.
