Stephen Thompson targets Nov. 14 at Madison Square Garden with one fight remaining on his UFC contract
Thompson is going through the welterweight roster to scout an opponent who can deliver a potential banger with him.
“Madison Square Garden, Nov. 14, got to make it happen,” the former title challenger told Home of Fight. “I’ve actually got one fight left in my contract. We’re looking at November… We’ll see who we get. We’re kind of looking at the roster, trying to find out a good fight. A good barnburner, if you will, for that card.”
While Thompson never tasted UFC gold despite two attempts against Tyron Woodley, the former kickboxer has endeared himself to the fanbase with his flashy striking style and well-mannered nature. The 43-year-old is currently on a three-fight slump, losing to Gabriel Bonfim, Joaquin Buckley and Shavkat Rakhmonov in his recent bouts.
