Stephen is the real deal, I live in Simpsonville SC and this guys drives the kids karate bus picking up kids for the class he teaches. True Hero Shit!
Who is steven ?
@@greg75c83 Sorry Greg, I fixed it Sir.
Wow what a amazing man
@@burdman516 who’s Greg?
@@swamidan277 Greg is RUclipss spelling police!
You can tell Thompson asked Hendricks if he was ok after that low kick. Class act and incredible striker.
Rick Johnson He said in an interview he really looked up to Johny Hendricks and felt bad that he had to do that to him. Wonderboy just an all around good dude
he makes people wonder
He even helped Woodley to his feet in the 4th round of a welterweight title fight too!! Did not have to do that! Wonderboy really is class!
Even Wonderboy's Dad cleaned up Masvidal's face after their fight. @@ljdgooners9041
@@bobunitone I remember that they're really great people
2:40 How is that not amongst the greatest KOs in UFC History!
Yathartha Shrestha that combo was clean af
@SickKent no he doesn't. Kick connected to the most vulnerable part of the skull AND he didn't see it coming
@SickKent so im guessing ellenberger can't take a punch either right?
Yathartha Shrestha I know they didn’t even get excited
SickKent how goods your chin
Number 2 is the real number 1.
Without a doubt
Agreed, Stittgen was actually out before he even hit the floor. He just fell on top of his right arm with all his body weight and let his head hit the floor. Ellenberger got clipped hard, but he wasn't out cold.
100% agreed!
Incredible technique to throw the kick behind the same side punch and have the guy not even aware that it's coming. Unreal.
Sam The Sham you all look dumb now
2:40 should probably go down as one of the best ufc knockouts in history. Snuck that kick in like it came from the shadow realm. This guy’s ability to control distance and use his kicks to his advantage is amazing. He slipped that hand perfectly with a back step and Boink goodnight.
You can see the regret on his face when Mario realizes that he wasn't dead.
One Only this is Gold😂
All these refs stopping shit early, you know ya miss him lol.
@@therxckstar i honestly rather see it stop early than see the other guy get beat in
The Rxckstar no one misses him
@@msidjfcjcfurj I do. So there's at least one
“You ok?”
“Yea”
*Proceeds to knock him out*
Wonderboy - You ok?
Hendricks - Yea
Wonderboy - Naw
Hendricks - What
*ko*
"OH YEAH? WE NOT DONE THEN, BOI"
Real martial artist
😂 😂 😂 Lol
1:01
"Karate... that's funny" = Jake Ellenberger, in the pre-fight clip before he got KTFO by Thompson's funny karate.
Yeah people sleep on karate... it definitely works
Mcgregor and wonder boy are proof
Gsp is from a karate background as well
Full contact karate
@@erlend6338 Machida
1:03 Lol Wonderboy the type of guy to pause between a fight and ask you whether you're okay
Hes humble
because it was kind of a nut shot. he's making sure he didn't dick kick him and he's a good dude
2:24 well that's something you dont hear everyday
ReZa Beast 😂
the more you understand striking the more you appreciate this man!
what a phenomenal striker, everything is just perfect!!
Yeah, GSP referred to Wonderboy as the best striker he had ever seen after they sparred.
Perfect at getting knocked out
@@godsgift9749 ignorance is a blessing my friend
Gods Gift yeah because getting knocked out once in your entire career in a fight you were dominating means you're "perfect at getting knocked out".
He was a past kick boxing champion so his kicks are amazing
Crazy to think he finished Robert Whittaker who's a killer and the current 185 champ!
And yamasake was the ref. But did you die? stoppage
Whittaker was drained at 170, yoel romero cant even knock him out at 185
Bay Shit
Makes you wonder what difference it would be if Yoel went up or if Thompson went up.
Bay Shit yep shows the effect of weight cuts
Which begs the question - how stupid does this make Darren till
Whittaker natural middleweight
Wonderboy natural welterweight
Till natural middleweight, but could bulk to LHW without too much trouble
I was wondering why the referee wasn't stopping the fight but then they said it was Mario yamasaki lol
ButterBall Honestly love that, it’s better than getting early stoppage.
Bro I said the same thing lololololol
@@amazingname.6400 nah I'd 100 percent would rather see an early stoppage than some guy get seriously hurt or killed in a fight.
@@amazingname.6400 bum
Late stoppages can result in permanent damage and serious injury, so no wonder Yamasaki gets all the hate he does.
"Mario yamasaki rescues him" how often do you hear that?:-D
If you know there's a fire and you tell people immediately they all leave and while they might be thankful you won't be a hero.
But if you don't tell anyone and show up late you can be a hero and "rescue" the people.
And "Big John stepped in..."
I'm pretty proud of that one my self
I will not be happy until wonderboy gets the belt. This man is the classiest sportsmen i've ever seen and arguably the best/most entertaining standup fighter there is. He deserves everything he gets, and is a role model for everyone.
PS. I also think wonderboy v adesanya would be an excellent matchup
Haha looks like you’ll be sad for the rest of your life then. Nice guys don’t get anywhere, and Stephen is old and a loser nice guy. Sucks to be you LOOOOOOOOL
Sentient Dogma It’s pretty obvious your a troll lol
@@drhater2318 Dude's so bad at trolling he probably just got dared to comment this shit 💀💀
Okay he’s awesome but he’s certainly not the best or most entertaining lol
I love how gentle the refs are with Thompson once they stop the fight, you can tell that they know how nice of a guy he is, and the fact that they don’t need to body slam Thompson cause he’s clearly out there to compete and not hurt anyone in a long term way
Thompson is like a Tekken fighter 😂😂🔥🔥
“You ok?”
“Yea”
“Well, alright, let’s giddy up some more”
I love number 4 when he might have accidentally kicked him in the balls and made sure he was alright before he finished him 1:02 he's such a honorable dude.
had to rewatch that. What a great dude.
And then he fucking obliterates him. I thought that was hilarious.
2:48 are we just gonna ignore this supercool celebration
Ikr so cool
superhero landing babyyyyyyyy
Gayyy!!
Thomson is a prime example of a textbook fighter; executing clean strikes that are graceful yet deadly.
The classiest dude ever. He clearly was going for the head kick against Clemens but he realized that the fight was already over and pulled the kick
If you turn up the volume and listen closely, you can hear him apologizing after each strike. So nice
Hehahaha
0:47 I love Thompson! He could’ve kicked the guy in the Face but held back because he was basically done! #RealMartialArtShit
That was just because he realised he was too close. Thompson is as respectful as they come but he does not take chances when it comes to fighters who look like they're hurt (and rightfully so), he would have gone for that headkick if the range was right.
@@squirtleisthebestpokemon9745 Agreed. He was probably testing his reaction as well.
Well Thompson just confirmed on his stream that he'll feel bad if he threw that kick
My favorite striking style by far. I just love his stance. It just connects with me.
its called karate
mc finn beat me to it!
Connected with about 5 other people too.
Wonder boy is one of my favorite fighters. You can learn so much from his striking and hes a guy who really is an unorthodox striker.
Full Contact karate striker
Wonderboy is such an amazing fighter
This dude lives to fight. Respect to him.
Hurts me seeing whittaker lose like that.
@@rudy103069 no shame in losing to Wonderboy.
Rngnd1314 no shame dudes striking is awesome. He’s gun shy now days but used to look great.
whitaker lost to a slick karate guy but won vs a wrestler boxer, yoel romero. unusual.
@Joe foe wiped out again lool
@@adrian3865 Karate kickboxing dude . Whittaker should wrestle proficient strikers like Izzy or Wonderboy.
3:04 I just watched it with 0.25 speed and it's really nice how the moment he starts dodging the overhand or hook, he uses the same movement to start the weight transfer needed to put a lot of power on the kick. I guess a lot of counter attack techniques are based on this concept.
1:27 bro loved that a little to much
“karate doesn’t work”
Henrick Boot Wrestlers with a minimum of a blue belt in BJJ. This isn’t 2003. Catch up.
Henrick Boot If you think those guys aren’t practicing BJJ just because they haven’t pursued a BJJ rank, you don’t know shit about shit.
@@matthewmcmullen1710 yea but those guys dont really focus on BJJ.....those guys specialize in wrestling
Karate doesn't work. Like wrestling doesn't work and boxing doesn't work, or BJJ doesn't work. Put all those together though, then it will work.
@Alex Amaya Not sure how this is pretentious and in the end, you're also agreeing with me, so I'm pretty confused with what you're saying. Haha. I literally said in my comment, karate doesn't work.
"Alright I'm coming back, nah hahaha just kidding haha" - GSP
Meh meh meh meh meh 😂😂
I don't want a Top 5 finishes. I want free fight.
They already posted one
they already post vs Johny Hendricks
You Jessica brother I thought she was giving u Money? She Better beat Rose
Jonathon - no one gives af what you want.
@@Olwtak White knighting a random guy on the internet, that's weird
2:40 head kick of kindness. Such a kind guy his kicks are even kind. Stittgen was overloaded with kindness and passed out.
I respect how Wonderboy can be an absolute killer in the Octagon without an ounce of malice. A true artist and professional!
2:40 is what you came for😱
He threw that kick as fast most guys throw a overhand right. Scary.
@@TRIIGGAVELLI thats because he used his overhand right to set up the kick. Dude thought he was slipping the big shot instead he was moving his head into the real one
how he asked a man if he was ok and proceeded to destroy him a few seconds later is amazing.
Really hoping to see a kick out of nowhere to finish the fight!
i mean its pettis vs thompson, they'll throw a million kicks each
From who lmao
312vandal hahaha! Pettis uses the cage better than anyone else in the sport! What a massive punch! Absolutely mental!
@@StiggyMcQueen he didn't even use the cage
2:40 is one of my favorite knockouts ever. The kick was so clean, probably had the dude like Eddie Alvarez after the McGregor fight..”I honestly thought it was a punch, it was so fast” 😂😂😂
Best MMA Highlights on RUclips IMO!
ESPN is off to a great start
w/the UFC.
Congrats.
Stephen is a great example of a true fighter. He works hard, is respectful to his opponents and is humble in victory and defeat. Awesome role model
1:00 love how wonderboy asked him he's ok 😍
One of my absolute favourite athletes. ..great inside the cage and especially good behaviour outside...no trash talking needed...
Amazing this guy ain't been champ yet. I hope he gets that belt some day soon.
I need to see wonderboy beat the shit out of Colby Covington if he became champ I just like seeing him get beat tf up
@@joshuaslosser6988 I want Wonderboy to KO covington with a head kick
@@craigcrissman4651 that’s a tough fight tho against Colby but i would love to see that too. Wonderboy could be like a Jan type champion tho where he’s champ in his late 30’s
@@joshuaslosser6988 yeah it would be a real tough fight for Thompson but I can dream. I just want the ultimate UFC jackass to get slept by the NMF
1:02 now that is a nice head kick
Man this guy has the best technique and fights ever hope he one day will be a champ deserve to be
If masvidal wins I can see them rematching for the belt it's not so different to stipe vs JDS 2 a shot at Usman is gonna be harder to earn
One of thew best stand up fighters I have seen, a joy to watch, also got to be one of most fair play fighters ever.
The amount of times he has knocked someone down and let them get up or looked to the ref like "Do I have to pound him before you stop this"
Wonder boys striking is a piece or art, it’s so good
I remember watching him vs Hendricks and being fucking astonished by his performance. Masterclass all the way.
How clean and accurate is he 😯😯🤯he is what miraculous deserves the name wonderboy
I love his fighting style!
58-0 kickboxing record...this man is talent...
That kick on Stittgen was one of the most beautiful KOs I've seen in all my years of watching MMA lol
God dam Stephens striking on another level. So technical. Hope he makes one more run towards the UFC belt. Enjoy watching his handy work. 👍💪
Love this guy's sportsmanship I'm definitely a fan after seeing how he acts in and outside the ring.
That Dan Stittgen KO is the greatest KO ever, it's a perfect combination with a kick sneaking over the shoulder. Like Anime karate lol
This man rocked everybody on his feet, love his syle.
Should've been champ instead of boodley.
Usman would ragdoll him :(
Wonderful fighter and a character to match. Love this dude ❤
Number 2 is my favorite. Incredible. To be able to throw that combination and to time it perfectly takes incredible skill and focus.
2:52 when you get a standing ovation from the GOAT you know it was a great KO
Who?
@@fadedsideways GSP
I'm shocked he beat Whitaker, holy crap I totally forgot about this fight. And he beat hendrix, insane man, everyone beats everyone.
Great vid, keep uploading.
His kicks are a thing of beauty!
2:40 that was clean
Karate Master!

One of my favorites! I would love to train with this guy.
Awesome guy, just respectable and very humble..
I am Steven Thomson team. It's a very interesting fight, very good, I hope you get good kicks. Greetings from a Latino from Central America Panama
Yeah ok it's Stephen Thompson and if you're really part of the team what's the team called? I know this shit because he's my MMA coach
The Unit he’s not your mma coach
@@TannerHainz alright bet come to Simpsonville South Carolina it's called upstate karate 129 main Street the zip code is 29681
@@TannerHainz MMA classes start at 8 or 830 the MMA class is called Pitch Black MMA
The Unit You need to chill. I think he meant that he’s supporting Wonderboy.
"Karate... That's Funny" - Jake "the clown" Ellenberger
"Spinning Kicks don't work" -Jake Ellenberger
How can anyone not like him. He is such a respectful and humble guy.
That Stittgen one is the best, because of the crazy quick, smooth, and accurate combo, as well as the awesome flip celebration and superhero landing 😆😆🔥🔥💯💯
3:17 Edson Barbosa's signature kick!
I know it's probably fatigue, but Wonderboy barely connected
Wonderboy ad and wonderboy highlights, decent I say decent!
Love watching wonder boy 👍
this guys form and technique, BEAUTIFUL!
Striking masterclass by wonder boy. Top 3 fighters in my book! Would be a definite goat if he had a better ground game.
*gsp voice* I was not impressed with your performance
liam , I’m not impressed with your comment
liam , this video is necessary for your comment. ruclips.net/video/cl8SIuskQdo/видео.html
Jon Jones thank you 👍💯
Such a great fighter and a great man, Wonderboy is awesome.
Such a great dude as well!!!
Wonderboy should've finished Woodley he needs to stop being defensive and go on the offense! 🥋🧘♂️😎
He was weary of woodley's right hand... I miss god mode wonderboy
He must be gutted after seeing Masvidal starch Till. He could’ve easily done that too if he wasn’t so tentative
@@Xapi3 although I agree, styles make fights. Just cause Masdival beat him like that doesn't mean Wonder boy could do the same. Plus, in most cases Muay Thai beats Karate.
But he didn't.
@@judasjunior6503 Exactly. Masvidal is a counter puncher, till is aggressive and keeps his head high. Lots of people saw that KO coming.
Thompson schooled Masvidal when they fought.
But Yeah, Thompson could finish till if he pushed. Not sure about twood though. He was wise to be scared of the big right. It floored him everytime it connected.
The Johnny Cage Of The UFC!
Classy guy, I hope he wins the championship someday. Rooting for him even though I'm a wrestling/Jiu Jitsu guy, he is just a good humble dude.
Rngnd1314 I guess sense the almighty Rngnd1314 said it, it must be true. After all you are the authority on all things MMA.....I'm not being scarcastic, I'm totally serious........seriously....
Wow Man. Wow. Still kicking Ass 👍😎
Still so crazy seeing thompson finish whittaker like that
Mario "life saver" Yamasaki
Such a good striker. Unpredictable. You couldn't read and see it coming. Especially his kick ... Wow just wow.
That dan stiggen ko is my fave of all time it's just so clean
The fight ends with the first double kick knockout. Draw
Yamasaki watching thompson hand out serious brain damage : I haven’t seen enoigh
Love You Support You Wonder Boy -Big fan-
What a right hand wow!!
Yamasaki: Whittaker’s soul was still in his body, clearly he wasn’t finished
But did he die?
It amazes me that whittaker went 50 minutes with Yoel and couldn't be finished, but wonder boy gets the job done
Whittaker was compromised by the weight cut to 170. He is a natural middleweight, and he's only gotten better since.
Still, great win for Wonderboy.
He's so good 🐐
That first clip is great. You can tell he knew his opponent was done, so he hesitated and didn't put any force on follow ups
If Pettis is no trouble he should have a go with Israel A.
Yeah tbh bcs there will be no other fights that will make sense.
@@shadowthefirst5115 I'm a noob. I just saw the Whittaker clip and thought wow hard to believe that guy is such a dominant champion atm if he got finished by Wonderman. Would be cool to see Izzy in another striker's chess match.
@@willjsoden ya bro.
Wtf is this thread
@@willjsoden just know whittaker had no chin at 170 due to the cut. I guarantee at 185 he would destroy wonderboy
Mario "Is he dead yet?" Yamasaki
Amazing striking
What an exciting guy to watch
