I don’t think people understand the inhuman cardio this man has to fight at a pace like that at 39 and then not even be breathing heavy in your post fight interview, this guy is a beast
It's hard to imagine him being able to fight and train the way he does without some sort of "supplements" just like any top level athlete BUT I watch his RUclips channel and it's even harder to imagine him actually cheating and taking something illegal. Dude is a beast still for his age somehow.
Kevin vs Wonderboy, a fight where most of us did not want either one to lose. What a beautiful display of striking. Wonderboy's striking is a poetry in motion.
😂😂 Me too I was nervous for both I couldn't decide I started shouting for Wonderboy to be safe and later changed to shouting for Kevin to be safe great fight respect for both men
This fight was everything we love about MMA: high-level skills, determination, heart, entertainment, and sportsmanship! Kevin and Stephen represent the sport in the best way. Straight warriors and class acts!!!
Thompson had a great performance tonight. He’s one of the last great - exciting traditional martial artists in the UFC. We should all respect and appreciate this guy while he is still here representing the art of Karate!
I agree, the UFC's full of a bunch of crotch sniffers the first now. Now that Juri is out the guy to follow is Rafael faziev excellent Muay Thai and kickboxing stand up fighter
@@thorn3802 it has nothing to do with right or wrong, educated or not my comment was an opinion. Fighters that are strikers are more entertaining " IMO" Stop trying to be right all the time and just enjoy the conversations
@@jeffross9982 He is not an elite grappler, everyone knows that. But to say that he doesn't have takedown defense is an ignorant statement. He has been taken down a lot but almost always managed to get up and eventually escaped. He's takedown defense is not high level but it's decent.
Wonderboy is in a weird spot, I don’t know if he could get through the grapplers to get to the Title fight, but at the same time he could have a very good chance against Edwards
I think WB is a better striker than Edwards but he is more of a complete mixed martial artist. It would be a really fun fight but I think Edwards wins it with wrestling and clinch work.
The only reason fighters slow down is cuz of their style involves taking head to the head. Ppl like wonder body style is literally anti committing n anti brawl his head is as health as young fighter. Prime age contrary to popular believe is late 30s that's when the knowledge and body cross each other.
As a lifelong karate/Kickboxing guy myself he is adapted to ufc so well. You can't stand with this guy. In the striking department aside from a lucky KO punch nobody in the division could beat him in striking. He's so accurate.
Disabling Kevin's power hand, WBs dad screaming "break the body baby" before a lethal liver kick and then Wonderboy proceeding to concuss Kevin on he's feet and ultimately break him was a thing of beauty.
Hard to know how kevin hurt his hand, but I tend to agree with the commentators that it was probably from blocking those head kicks with his hand. I find that fascinating because wonderboy talks a lot about blasting kicks into a fighter's arms to do damage.
Wasn’t a liver kick. Idk why people call it a liver kick lol. The liver is on the right side under the rib cage in front of the lung, adjacent to the pancreas
@@jorge37325 no way I think it was the right hand that hit flat in wonderboys forehead in R1. The kicks could’ve make it worse but even Justin Gaethje said a punch like that can destroy your hand. You can see the knot in this video that shot was hard lol
Wonderboy showed what he is capable of. Fantastic performance at nearly 40 years old. Congrats to him, he's a true champion and a true martial artist. Bravo !
My first thought was WB is probably bigger and longer than McGregor. That and I don't think McGregor will be as mobile anymore, he was already moving less before the leg break.
@@WhiskeyToro nah, mcgregor slows down a lot when he moves up in weight, his body is not used to it. And nevermind he's in jacked out city at the moment. WB is a comfy 170lber and he just showed us how fast he is be it movement, punches or kicks. Mcgregor might catch him but WB will eat his legs alive. He's a nice guy but his game plans have always been to cripple you via your most obvious weaknesses. Mcgregor wouldn't want to fight wonderboy, he's afraid his leg will get done again, these injuries change you mentally.
Yeah I thought prior that in this fight Thompson would show his age. Like Tony Ferg against chandler was fresh and fast but against Diaz he was like half as fast. Thought that was gonna happen but I clearly was wrong xp
Thompson with another masterful performance somewhat to what he did against Geoff Neal, but more like Tony vs Gaethje when it came to damage and slowly picking someone apart. Hope Thompson gets a big fun fight next instead of someone like Khamzat, Colby or Shavkat who gonna take him down...
@@anarchy1090 no thats not how it works stupid its mma. grapplers fighting grapplers is called wrestling. but thompson should get any matchup he wants, he has done enough for the promotion
Phenomenal fight, phenomenal performance. Holland hung for a few rounds and looked good too but Wonderboy was a relentless vet who kept his composure and just kept hammering. What a show by both.
People be sleeping on WB. He lost last 2 but those were against good grapplers . He is a different gravy when it comes to stand up. What he did to Luque and Neal opened my eyes. Hope he gets a hefty payday against a big name.
Wonderboy is impossible not to root for. Dude is a hero, mentally and physically. It's plausible he could take on Edwards for the belt after a rematch on Masvidal, would love to see Wonderboy retire as a legend.
Tf 😂 Masvidal is trash and will not get anybody a title shot at this point. It ain’t 2019 anymore. There’s guys ahead of him who he’s already lost to. That’s a problem. Burns and Belal. There’s Covington up there still. Khamzat. And obviously Leon and Marty Usman. Thompson looked phenomenal on the feet, but that title picture is crowded and VERY tough, especially stylistically. They asked him a couple times what he wants next and he wouldn’t say, but it’ll be interesting to see what the matchmakers try to do with him
@@zlMonsterx stephen only has a one inch reach advantage, and no, i think Conor is as good as boxing as Stephen is as good at Karate, they are both great strikers and it would be an interesting fight.
@@ashyknees653 yea n also Conor hits hard af and Stephen doesn’t take heavy shots that well. Even in the holland fight when he was getting cracked you could tell he didn’t want any parts of that lol but his elusiveness and his ability to move the way he does is what allows him to fight those heavy handed guys
Honestly to get hit in the face so much and still be able to give a full interview and be coherent and composed on his answers speaks volumes of his work ethic.
@@ghostsamongus3370 didnt get touched in the Neal n luque fights. this fight might of been more entertaining but just pure flawless victories in they fights
Fight of the decade. Absolutely incredible. Greatest display of martial arts the UFC has ever seen. Both men keeping their word to keep it on the feet. This word gets thrown around a lot but this time it’s the truth, WARRIORS.
I hope the UFC continues to give Wonderboy fun fights. He doesn’t have the grappling to contend for a title, but he can put on great shows with/against other strikers! Amazing performance last night from both men.
Me first two rounds were full of me jumping rooting for wonder boy to not eat a shot thinking it could be over with one punch. Last to rounds I’m rooting for holland to survive the fight. What a banger.
Man his performance in this fight was unreal so I really hope he continues to work on his defensive grappling so that he can pull himself back into top 5 and have a chance at the belt.
Wonder boy has insane reflexes and distance management. He was out striking someone who has incredible reach and height and delt with it almost flawlessly
Some people say traditional martial arts don't work. But what they need to understand is many principles in "modern" styles come from traditional martial arts. A great example is in this fight where Wonderboy nullified Kevin's primary weapon (the right hand) by attacking Kevin's right arm with kicks to Kevin's right side. This is a classic example of targeting the opponent's weapons so that they have no weapons. Straight from traditional martial arts.
Where are the people who say “traditional” martial arts are useless? Of course many traditional arts formed the base of what mma has become. Obviously. But the “mixed” aspect is also vital now as well. When your opponent straight up says we aren’t gonna grapple or wrestle, then I guess as a karate guy you’re good to go. Otherwise, you’re gonna have some serious issues if you aren’t focusing on all aspects of the fight game.
The technique from wonderboys kicks is amazing. For the first part of the kick it looks like he's just flicking it out there then he snaps it over and it sounds like a baseball back slamming into his opponent. A life time of karate has fine tuned them.
Literally one of the most entertaining and fun fights, and displays of martial arts skills that I have seen in a long time. You don't get to see stuff like that in the UFC very often. Actually the whole card was really good, much better than most of the pay-per-views they offer.
Such a good fight! Both Holland and WB showing the striking master class. Stephen Thompson had stamina for days, his durability and experience also showed through the fight 👏
Idk, Holland had some good hands in the start, he was tagging WB pretty good. Lol looked like a master class to me, just different style classes lol what were you watching?
Very good gameplan by WB and his team. Holland is long, unorthodox, and has heavy hands. On paper these attributes should be a huge advantage against WB's fighting style cuz he likes to control distance, counter, and unload flurries but WB was so fast and precise I think it caught Holland off guard. He also did a great job at eluding the power shots, he really only got caught once or twice. Normally when you watch someone at his age move forward with those kinds of flurries they get countered and KO'd. He's looked really good in the later part of his career, he put on a similar striking clinic against a really good Vicente Luque not too long ago as well. What a fight and what a performance.
Happy for Wonderboy! Congrats from right down the street in Greenville! Representing upstate SC. He definitely belongs in the UFC. Proved his toughness again tonight.

He's so right and it's because of this striking that people wrestle him. Even now at his age he's a killer in the striking department.

He's sharp but one dimensional and lacks enough power to challenge the top guys.
Yeah but he can’t beat grapplers so … he won’t ever win a belt so sorry WB you can’t wrestle
