Summary: Thompson is a truly unique fighter, with a striking style unlike that of any other top-level competitor. With his hands down in a bladed karate stance, he throws a plethora of sudden, un-telegraphed, technical punches and kicks that opponents cannot predict. In his prime, he could unleash those weapons for five straight rounds and was an exceptionally smart fighter with excellent defense, to boot.
