You can call me a hipster, or someone who watches MMA for 20 years now. You probably think Cro Cop vs Fedor was boring. That Machida was also a boring fighter etc. Wonderboy-Woodley 2 was a bad fight, as was Woodley-Maia. Woodley was fighting specialists and was fighting too carefully. But Rory-Wonderboy was not that kind of a fight, even Dana White said it was a great fight and you know he would shit on them if it was boring.
Wonderboy has been raised so well. He is such a great bloke
The sportsmanship displayed on behalf of Mr. Thompson is top notch.
He's a 38 year old wonderboy fighter. Man's a legend
You are A Good Person Stephen Wonderboy Thompson... It will be Good To See You with The Other Belt CHAMP🔥💛🔥 Peace
Thinking about it, Wonderboy and Woodley had some great moments together outside the octagon. They even sat next to each other and played games on Fox. I think their interaction is so underrated.
