Yuh

Wonderboys kicks are the best looking kicks i ever saw,and it literally came from nowhere the opponent did not saw it coming.

GSP and Wonderboy- two great, humble, legends.

An incredible talent and first class man.

2:48 " Stephen Thompson, he's done very little damage here in the 1st round. " *slap*

Throwing that kick up with this amount of power after throwing a right hand is No joke.

I remember watching this live. After WB got the wheel kick KO he became my favorite fighter and has been to this day. I was lucky enough to get to see UFC 244, the BMF card, at MSG with my late father. So glad we got to see Stephen dissect Luque like a high school science experiment LMAO. RIP pops 🤘

Are you talking about a different fight? Cause thats not a wheel kick, I assume you're talking about the ellenberger fight

That kick was so slick 🔥🔥

Let's gooooo WonderBoy!!

If i ever have tickets to a UFC event i will be there for every fight, never know when a wonderboy is going to debut, well i would but most people don't. .

He needs to start throwing that again the jab straight headkick is his best combination the kicks already coming after the right lands he does it better than anyone I’ve seen

It's underrated how much power is generated in WB's strikes. All Karate people are like that. They often look completely normal but the snap behind their kicks and punches is hard. That's why there are so many injuries in full contact Karate bouts. Just one kick to the face and its often over.

He, and Lyoto Machida, made me believers in Shotokan.

Thompson is not from shotokan karate tho. He is from American kempo karate

One of the first UFC events I watched, Wonderboy instantly became my favourite fighter

Would have been hilarious if after the fight, GSP hits Wonderboy with the ol' "I was not impressed by your performance."

Thompson is truly a legend and a gem. So humble in wins or defeat and a beautiful striker. I see Holland trying to wrestle fuck him but id love to see him pull a KO and possibly retire

All finishing highlights are pre-Reebok. Dudes 39 and its time to wrap it up.

Not really lol they’re matching him up with a former hype train who caught a resurgence and who’s much younger and faster lol yeah they’ll strike it out but this was essentially Wonderboys retirement put together by the brass and lemme tell you what, Kev gets a top 5 or title talks if he beats WB

wonder boy vs izzy please

0:45 you know this is a throwback when Brittany Palmer got a whole different face

Damn wonderboy was a 10 when he was young.he still is .

Imagine when the goat himself GSP tells you you couldnt have done better.

Imagine it's your debut in the UFC and your opponent has GSP in their corner. Bruh

Ninja Flip Thompson 😆

JOE ROGAN WITH HAIR LMAO!

Litharge kick looked like it had no power it’s mad some of the punches and kicks are glancing blows and fighters go down and out

Feel bad for him that he never won the belt

@@Anthony-dj4nd a loss to Khamzat. Both WB and Holland are coming off losses to wrestlers, which is why they are so excited to fight each other.

I like WB but they totally gifted him a sacrificial lamb in that first fight; like "Hey Dan, you know that thing that you're best at, the thing that could easily shut this kickboxer down? Yeah, don't do that. Thanks. Check's in the mail." It's like Ash telling Pikachu not to use electric moves against Gyrados.

Stop. Collaborate and listen.

Wonder boy is cool as he'll and agreat fighter but Dan stiggen is one of the funniest people I have ever met in my life😂if u ever get the chance to wrestle with him do it you'll have a blast

It's unfortunate he can never match the agressiveness he had back then. Every fight since has been boring as he only tries to counter attack or wait for the right moment.

Another reminder of how much the UFC uniforms suck

Just lucky debut, remember the fight against "$how time", GB didn't do anything good just hit the gloves of his opponent lol
