This guy is one of my favorite human beings on earth period. Never had the pleasure to meet him but I have not heard anyone say anything negative about the guy. Amazing.
Any slight disrespect and mma fans get so salty lol who cares if he didn’t touch gloves he touched his gloves 764,895,234 times during the fight every time wonder boy offered
@@retiredtidepodeater3339 Leon would've been knocked out if nate was given just 5 more seconds. You don't get title shot after a performance like that.
@@arshkhan-ed6pg This is why I hate most MMA fans... A performance like what? Leon literally dominated him for about 23:30 seconds of the fight, had a defensive lapse and got caught but found a way to stay on his feet. We don't judge fights based on "Well, of only if ABC had of happened!".. Well it didn't. He put on a solid performance. He's on a 9 or 10 fight streak. There's no one really close to his current streak in the division. Colby only had one fight since Usman washed him, so how is he deserving over the likes of Wonderboy & Edwards?
Honestly, how can anyone dislike this guy? He's not putting on an "aww shucks" personality for the cameras...dude is truly a good person through and through. After he kicks your head off into sleep mode, you'd probably wake up at the hospital with him by your side holding your hand.
@Ricardo Leonardo you didnt watch the fight. at one point, wonderboy turned rory's face into a pulp lol that fight was a war that you compare the rory mcdonald fight to wonderboy vs woodley 2 just shows that you dont know shit about this sport lol
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.
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.
NEVER have ones Age question the factors of Success!! You never know what anyone is capable of doing and becoming! I'm 42, working towards the best shape of my life!! Lets go WonderBoy!!!!!!
god im so nervous for this fight. WB is my favorite MMArtist of all time, and if he loses, there is almost no way to a belt for him going forward. He will be a fight nite gate keeper... but ill still watch every fight! LETS GO WONDERBOY!!!
Here after the fight. I do think Wonderboy had a chance to win this. He was simply too hesitant. He really needed to amp up the ranged attacks. The rest is history that won't be very memorable. Dana even stated that this was the let down fight of the night, he just didn't use those words.
I always say that he reminds me of GSP because he is respectful and polite. I didn't know they were friends. Both are very dangerous men. this is a perfect example that things are not always what they seen.
So humble and respectful, always
One of the great personality i have ever seen in ufc history 🤩🤩🤩😍😍😍
Absolute class act, I’d love to see him with the belt. His students would be so happy 😊
Classiest athlete in sports.
That's how real martial artists are
I feel like he could be the star of a children's show. Hes that nice. GO Wonderboy!
You just can’t dislike this guy
Dumb. Yes, you can dislike him and anyone.
how can you not not hate this guy
@@jamesterrell5009 who hurt you?

How is stating a fact that anyone can be disliked any indication of being hurt?

Thompson is the oldest teenager I ever seen.
Right? I mean when you see a close up like this you can see his age, but zoom out a liitle and he looks 20 when he's in the octagon.
we should all be so lucky!
Lol
Yeah don't know about that...I mean most teenagers I see are not humble and respectful, especially not to people they are meant to fight.
Hahaha
It amazes me how this guy stays positive and such a nice guy in a tough sport like mma
One of the nicest guys ever
You'd be surprised how many fighters are very polite and humble.
See that he had been knocked out by head kick in first round tell the wrestlers not to pretend to take 10 in a row and stay upright
GSP
@@wweisbeast321 what are you on
I would love to see those GSP and Wonderboy sparring videos!
Sadly I don’t think either would ever talk about the results. Too nice and modest of guys
@@kennytaco4474 no martial artist that respect himself will say that they beat another one in sparring cuz its *sparring*
@@venomgoldenreaper3834 it’s be entertaining though
King KeNNy Slay yeah it would just be interesting to see how there styles match up, i just want to see that session 😭.
I think gsp win just cause back then wonderboy don’t know how to wrestle, but pure striking sparring, yea wonderboy take it ez
This guy is one of my favorite human beings on earth period. Never had the pleasure to meet him but I have not heard anyone say anything negative about the guy. Amazing.
I'm always amazed at people who dislike him. They just trash him for no reason when he couldn't be a more likable fighter.
i never noticed his pops saying spin then wonderboy just spins perfectly and KOs ellenburger
He even spun two times in the fight.
He hit both of them, just the last one KO'd him. The first rocked Ellenberger really bad.
Ya that was cool!
@@nr1NPC
spun? is that right? spinned?
@@heresthethingyouguys I think you need to take an english lesson
@Hai Voai reported for spam
I hope he gets the title one day. My favorite fighter.
This is his last chance
He's my favourite ufc fighter he will put on a good performance
It's so awesome when his dad yelled spin then he knocked him out
Yeah. really touching Mr Miyagi shlt
@@vichuang1480 it really is
Luque got smoked for not touching gloves with Stephen. He made him angry lol for once.

wonderboy is the type of guy that always tips 60% at restuarants
If he beats gilbert convincingly. He should get the title shot ahead of colby. Let's go wonderboyyy
Nahhhhh.... Leon Edwards first. Then Wonderboy. Gilbert Burns should fight Covington somewhere in between.

WB is 38. I’m really hoping WB wins
He's still a TenderRoni.
He won't beat usman though
@@toxicgoat341 who knows.. WB actually has good takedown defense. He's only been taken down twice in years
@Sleepay KOCIC You're an endangered species; the only Wonderboy Hater on Earth.
Who cares about his age
These guys r legends. They make u love mma. The true fight game
Glad WB is getting some Promo, the man is a living legend and such an amazing human being 🙏🏻
Let’s go Wonderboy!
"Spin!" 3:00 instant tingles on that one!! This bloke is good larf!
Yeah never noticed that before, cool moment.
I appreciated 'larf' and suspect your a fellow brit.
Imagine working hard all your life, thinking it might not go anywhere, then boom, debut, MC Hammer, GSP. Great career.
He's the goat on being the less hated guy on UFC 😅
Legend, is UA-cam channel is good as well man just an absolute legend.
Wonderboy has been raised so well. He is such a great bloke
"He was laughing about karate."
Holy shit, there's actually a way to get wonderboy tilted!
"We beat the crap out of each other" nah, that fight with Rory was pretty one sided as far as I remember 😆
Whoever thinks that fight was boring doesn't know shit about fighting
I do remembering it being that way. I also remember Raymond Daniels training Rory for the fight.
5th round wasn't boring at all
@Ricardo Leonardo you didnt watch the fight.
at one point, wonderboy turned rory's face into a pulp lol
that fight was a war
that you compare the rory mcdonald fight to wonderboy vs woodley 2 just shows that you dont know shit about this sport lol

Yessir, If he can stay on his feet vs usman ez win
In the dreams
@@94north70 when*
@@peacebalancetruth if he were to fight usman ( the current champion) ???
Usman toys with him unfortunately
The sportsmanship displayed on behalf of Mr. Thompson is top notch.
Hopefully breeze thru Burns with an early 2nd KO and onto title
Burns is likable too tho may the best man win
How can you not like this guy? He is a great ambassador of the sport.
Gotta love this guy...
this man needs sone ufc gold
He will earn it
He will earn it
He will earn it
How is he not the beacon of MMA? It's impossible not to love this guy
You are A Good Person Stephen Wonderboy Thompson...
It will be Good

He's a 38 year old wonderboy fighter. Man's a legend
How can you not like this guy. Such a positive dude. Hope he gets gold before he retires
Let's go wonderboy! Its ur time
absolutely the best representative of the sport. amazing fighter and wholesome human being

I love this guy bro. The ultimate warrior the ultimate teacher
That neal fight was peak WB . So elusive, world class striking. Such a hard book to read on the feet. Love you wonderboy, looking forward to more
You definitely have it!! Such a great interview! True warrior and as I keep saying “one of a kind” fighter. No one like Wonder Boy 👊
Another reminder that Leon Edward rather fight a guy that hasn't fight in 2 years and turning down wonderboy twice
@Ur Friend Wtf. I dont think this belongs here, sir.
Shit like this is why Leon ain't going near a title shot!!
@@thatsthejobbb8587 as it should be!
@Origin He should fight Masvidal.
@@shaikim-shapiro1453 he wanted both
How can anybody not be a fan of wonderboy. Such an inspiration
Lmao wonderboy actually finds it funny that he got knocked out by pettis 🤣
Let's GO! Can't wait for this card. Have a ton of respect for this man's skill and how he conducts himself. True martial artist 🥋.
Stephen is such a cool and chill dude. Not a reason to dislike this guy, hope the best for him tonight.
“I’m either coming back home with my shield, or on it.” I see you wonderboy
Unlike Deonte Wilder who can’t carry his armor, Wonderboy will go out on his sword and shield
lame

That flip was epic!
Ninja shit
I bet he can't do that anymore
Wonderboy's footwork just Awesome 💯💥🔥
2:56 that's actually crazy
He almost said GSP was my Hero. It’s ok Wonderboy! He’s a good hero to have coming up in MMA

Been watching this guy for a long time,he was always impressive
