What's y'all's ultimate defense vs a wrestler?!
depends....personally I don't think anyone is defending Sweet T's takedown
Jon Jones.
Just gotta keep him out of Hollister the gas station oh and not let him drive or be pregnant. Should be good.
No matter how good your wrestling is someone will take you down...
It's has happened to Jon Jones, DC, Josh koscheck etc ...so it's better to improve your ground game...Mix it with alot of elbow... for younger guys ....try to work from your back like tony Ferguson does...with rubber guard... submission and Elbow to head... Hopefully wonderboy will soon make a video of ..what to do when you end in bottom.... 🙏🙏🙏
I like the Jorge Masvidal knee. It works effectively. I also like turning a sprawl into a d’arce choke or a standing or mounted guillotine.
Lay on the ground. You can’t get taken down if you are already down🤪
Wonder boy: here is the ultimate way to defend against wrestlers
Wrestlers: years of academy training wasted
😂😂😂
Khabib: Well yes, but actually no.
Avant Campbell
Khabib is boring
Kool-Aid Man boring time people who’ve never wrestled in their lives
@@projectowxn5219 You just ruined the joke.
I want to train with Wonderboy so bad. He is so likeable.
same dude
He has a great way of being friendly, while still being the teacher. I like that he is so comfortable just being himself while showing you his technique.
@@gfslamguitar Ikr? He's such an amazing human being and an amazing role model (he is my role model, along with Demetrious Johnson). One of the things I want to do before I go is train with these 2 legends
Dude, for real. Wonderboy would be my number one. One of my buddies calls me the XL Stephen Thompson because we both fight in the bladed stance haha.
@@gfslamguitar I remember in my TaeKwonDo days where I loved the sideways stance as well until I got into Muay Thai (I do both TKD and Muay Thai at once rn). My legs got chopped up when I first started, now my stance is more squared, but not too squared, I like it much more.
Nate Diaz to Sweet T: "Oh, so you're a wrestler now?"
Great name and picture
If the UFC was a dog-fighting ring filled with Pitbulls, Rottweilers, German Shepherds, and even wolves-then Wonderboy is the ONLY Golden Retriever in there.
He's air bud in human form
Thats a scary retriever tho
hey there ladie boi
@@wes7186 My golden was hench AF, just way too sweet to hurt you intentionally lol
Raw dog
Man Sweet T's wrestler impersonation is hilarious!
Dude didn’t even have knee pads on. I was so disappointed.
Techniques were legit as well
Gunna try this on my grandma
🤣🤣
Grandma about to blast double you and make you tap with a chin to the eye...
Did she survive?
Me: Wonderboy, wants your secret to staying younger?
Wonderboy: Popcorn and Water.
Irish Technical Thinker best comment so far.
Sugar Water Bro, gotta go that Yoel way
@@sherazali07 yoel is a cuban vampire he is 132 years old
I rewound and watched sweet tea “kip up” like 6 times and I’m still laughing
6:01
I was a little bummed out not to get your typical intro " what's up everybody, everybody, everybody". 😂
Won't lie I was definitely waiting for it and was like huh where'd it go
Was looking for this comment

I'm so happy that you have sponsors, all that hustle making cool videos bro now you gonna get the fruit of you labor,can't wait for 200k
I’d love to see you go into commentary after your done fighting, honestly the most likeable guy in MMA.
Love the content bro
Uppercut is safer than knee because it also acts as a Down Block. That's an actual wrestling technique, often preferred by high level wrestlers to stop the opponent's shot, instead of committing fully with a Sprawl.
thanks
I always skip past content creators sponsored part of the video but Thompson is just such a cool guy I had to watch it😄
I love how all these videos are just available for anyone to see. Such a great resource for martial artists. Thanks Wonderboy for being so generous with these, you could charge money if you wanted to and but you don’t and that’s awesome. You’re a great martial artist and equally great as a person. I had met you at a fan meet n greet and I was blown away by just how friendly and welcoming you are, it’s truly not just for the cameras. Keep it up and I can’t wait to watch your next fight.
No intro... Dang gone broke my heart 😭😂
I think Sweet T's intro was the best one yet. 🤔
Appreciate the added humor. One of my first criticisms I got when I was an instructor in the Army was I was boring and not keeping the students attention. Humor is a great way to engage an audience
Wonder boy. Do more defense against wrestlers
Wonderboy, what are your thoughts on Megan "No Handshakes" Olivi?
😢😭
Stephen Wonderboy Thompson I heard u smashed
Erick Schilling the world needs to know
NMF ur really NMF , also u could do video about clinch thai and all or that
I got hit with a flying knee and an uppercut in the same practice by this one guy I'd always take down. Like he figured it out one day lol. The knee and uppercut concussed me. I've said since then that knees and uppercuts are the wrestlers deterrent. The worst guy to shoot on is the guy throwing these strikes. Thanks for the vid!!
Damn
You still training?
Everyone needs a positive, likable and inspiring character like Wonderboy in their lives.
Best video ever
Takanori Gomi did it against Ralph Gracie in Pride days, his timing was perfect.
Yeah, Gomi is a life long wrestler. He understands level changes (funnily enough, better than Ralph Gracie, lol).
Curtis Blades is such a hardcore wrestler that he would just eat the knee with a smile on his face and finish the takedown
“Blitz him before he gets his gloves on” - Charlie Z
This man doesnt realise how much of a help he is to my game and probably others too
The best defense against a wrestler is to learn how to wrestle. You have a better chance of defending yourself from a wrestler.
I didn't know you watch wonderboy Thompson.
Who knew you were a MMA fan?
I think it’s a gun but yeah in a mma fight you right
Great point... make sure you tell that to Alexander Volkov or any of Khabib Nurmagomedov's, Kamaru Usman, or Merab Dvalishvili's past opponents. Not always as easy at it sounds. Much love though my friend. i appreciate you! 👊
kabab would like a word with you
Stephen, why did you and Sweet T pull down that epic livestream from Saturday?
That was the most fun I’ve had in a while.
It was the perfect storm!
I was laughin’.
I was cryin’.
I was throwin’ up.
It was the best night of my life this month!
Wonderboy is the athleanx of mma
Is no one in the comments gonna acknowledge How funny these two are? Every time I watch a video I piss myself laughing 😂😂
Hahaha... when SweetTea ( ;-) ) sneaks in with his wrestling moves... that spilled my coffee! Das war sehr sehr gut! :-D
That wrestling intro was hilarious
Finally. Someone I wanna learn from on UA-cam. 🤙🏼
Your takedown defence is godly, absolutely nobody in the UFC gets an opportunity to dump you 😂🤣
Stipe best watch this video after what Cormier said 😂
what did he say
@@spacemananimation to bring his wrestling shoes
@@victora.9349 Cormier's just playing reverse psychology. He's going for the KO
You guys are awesome with great personalities & great sense of humour,thanks for the amazing,useful,effective techniques & tips as always,absolutely love them.
I would like to see wonderboy win the title someday because he has the capability to win. I'm a biggest fan of wonderboy and Peter yan both were born on 11 february the same day and month that I was born too which makes me feel proud of myself
thank you wonderboy for your wisdom you give me hope that I can make it big one day
Awesome! We also should also practice turning our opponent with footwork...yes? Takedown defense training is fun, but to do it at full speed, full intention is something of a challenge. UFC has revealed much in our lives...You two Rock!
Damn I wish I had someone like Wonderboy in my life. Such a positive uplifting aura
Keep doing your job Man. You've got fans everywhere
The shaky panning shots of the product at the beginning had me dying 😂
Thanks for the great content Wonderboy!
Would love to see you train/spar with Suga Sean O'Malley one day
Thank you for the video Wonderboy! Great breakdown, especially with the importance of feints, which are so crucial.. Coming from a Karate background into MMA as well, I really appreciate these technical details that make you one of my favourite fighters to watch :)
I really need to go with you Wonderboy with all due respect.
Wonder boy is so awesome I would say the ultimate defense for a wrestler would be to keep hands low at mid-range and hit him with that uppercut as soon as they shoot just like in the Blades fight!
I got a feeling you're such a nice dude , love the videos, keep them coming
Nicest guy in the game. Keep going Wonderboy. BIG BIG FAN
Thank you for mentioning the uppercut. I have been saying this for years.
So glad I found this channel
OH MY GOD I HAD NO IDEA YOU HAD A CHANNEL, I LOVE YOUR FIGHTS BRO. Dude I love you
Love it. Wanna see more tips against a wrestler. 🥋
Excited to see you avenge your first fight against Pettis
This has been my favorite video that you’ve made thus far!
I like how you take the time to bring us in your life.more fighters should do and they would probably have more fans.your the man
Sweet teas outfit giving me flash backs of the time wb, him and another dude did that masterpiece dance video
hell yeah stephen, stay up!!! that belt will be yours soon enough
I just started muay thai and im all over this martial art . Finally found i was looking for. Our trainings are awesome but i always make research and just found your videos! Hilarious and helpful! :)
We want that OMalley fight! Make it happen, WB
lol Steve, rolling on that pain relief :D
I see a huge acting career!
I bet Stephen could do a MAD impression of Matthew Mcconaughey
NMF:Use Cryofreeze for sore muscles and fast recovery.
Uncle Chael:Ok great
Could u do a video on how to read opponents so u can move out of the way or know what to hit them with

Instant classic!
Always useful and entertaining content!
Need 2u in the octagon soon‼️‼️great vid boss
Technique Tuesday Ideas
--------------------------------------------
- Double kick
- kick "corrections" (side to round/side to hook) type kicks
- Maybe submissions with carlos machado (D'arce choke)
- Cross (in more detail)
- Upgrading your Cardio
- Jumping spinning back kick (Uriah Hall style)
- Famous techniques/combinations used in famous fights.
- More Drills of aspects you believe fighters don't train or enough or are underrated
Wonderboy's side hustle should be voice-overs for health supplements.
As a follow-up to this video, can you do a reaction to lyoto machida vs chael sonnen in bellator? I remember being so amazed that lyoto was kneeing chael every time he shot, and I would love your insight into how lyoto was able to do this.
You are my inspiration. In and out of the octagon.
Amazing vid champ👌🏽
Thanks for giving back to the fans wonderboy & sweet T
Geoff Neal wants that smoke, Wonderboy! give it to him!
Gotta try that cbd roll on! And LOVED Sweet T's entrance 😄
I came on this channel for wonder boy, but I come back every week for sweet T
You are my inspiration! Thanks for sharing👊
Never knew he was so cool, honest
Great video and 2 really good options i have used both and both work, Being a karateka in MMA i have felt the importance of knowing how to keep the fight on the feet as much as you can, i love wrestling and jiu jitsu but karate is my true love
*This guy is so nice*
Hey, Wonderboy. Could you throw right overhands more often, so that I could use it in the UFC game? I would appreciate it.
Just get good
Good channel. Keep it up wonder boy
I was legit talking about this as a way to defend a takedown with my mate then next thing I know I see this video ahah
My advice for takedowns: have a partner who is a wrestler do a "grappler shoot",the feint is good too! Step back move around double underhook twist takedown
This is good if they double leg with their knee down. If they gsp double leg, their head will be more side on and you'll probably hit their shoulder, but will get taken down anyway. Good technique and breakdown as always.
Wonderboy Thompson is top dawg
Amazing video as always, my friend. 👍
1:15 I'm gonna re-think my sexuality
🤣🤣
Good technique means good results! Thanks for all your videos!
2:20 I shit you not I was doing some light shadowboxing at the gym and some wrestler watched me for like 10 minutes then proceeded to do moves like this right next to me, making sure to make eye contact with me. 🤣🤣
Really liked this video i got a good understanding of the use of timing. What I would like to see from you is a video on mental training we train our bodys and our lungs all the time but what id like to know what extra mental training gives you a edge over your opponent
I was looking for DC's response to Sweet T, I'm sad there isn't now
*I appreciate you brotha!!*
Are you doing a rematch with Pettis? You were so clearly leading that one. Would love to see you set the record straight. 👍🏽♥️
I loved the ad Stephen! 🔥
Wonderboy you da man! Can you do a video on the spinning back kick!? Or types of kicks to the body 💙
I saw Jason David Frank win his first MMA fight by KO with this VERY technique.
Itd be awesome if you could do an open stance video. I'm a southpaw and its really frustrating seeing dope combos and techniques that don't work so well from my stance. Itd be cool if you could showcase some open stance stuff
2:57 I have the saaaame problem😂😂 Volkov; Volkanovski
Hey Wonderboy, can you do a video on street defence. What to do if someone if someone pushes you or grabs you. Cheers, much love from New Zealand!
Put your strong hand in front of you near your sternum, walk back and say "cmon man please don't hurt me" but get into a subtle fight stance, then Wing Chun straight punch to the face and run 😂
