Stephen Thompson kräver titelmatch efter mötet mot Rory MacDonald

Stephen Thompson har i dagsläget sex raka segrar i ryggen, där fyra av vinsterna tillkommit via TKO/KO-avslut, och den 18 juni tar han sig an Rory MacDonald under ”UFC: Fight Night 89” i Ottawa. Thompson tycker själv att han förtjänar en titelmatch i weltervikt, något som han tänker kräva efter matchen mot Rory, och detta hade han att säga via ”BloodyElbow.com”:

I was a little bit surprised. I was kind of bummed about it. Rory MacDonald had fought for it in July, and it’s almost like they’re kind of giving him a second crack at it, I guess. But he’s the No. 1 contender, he’s the only guy standing in my way, above me in the rankings. And if the UFC wants me to fight one more time, I’ll do it. What better guy to face off against? Not only is he a friend, but a phenomenal martial artist. So I’m training really hard to get up there and put on a show for everybody June 18th.

Oh no man, they have to give it to me. I’m demanding it after this fight. I never want to look past anybody, I know it could be a possibility, it could be around the corner, that title shot. But like I said, I try not to look past anybody. I got one guy I’m focused on, and I just gotta make sure I get past him before I even start thinking about that. Sometimes you get guys, they don’t worry about the guys standing in front of them at that moment. Just gotta stay focused, baby. Good training partners, my family around me to keep me focused and positive, it definitely helps.

Senast vi såg Thompson inne i oktgonen tog han sig an Johny Hendricks, en match som Stephen tog hem via TKO i första ronden under ”UFC: Fight Night 82”.
