Stephen Thompson sees an opening towards a third crack at the UFC welterweight title and he’s aiming to sprint towards that bright light.
“Wonderboy,” who is currently ranked No. 5 in the division, is shooting his shot to be the next opponent for current champion Kamaru Usman, who recently defended his title with a third-round TKO win over Gilbert Burns at UFC 258.
Thompson is coming off of a dominant unanimous decision win over Geoff Neal in the main event of UFC Vegas 19 and kept a close eye on the championship showdown between former teammates earlier this month.
