The stars are aligning for Ultimate Fighting Championship (UFC) Welterweight contender Stephen Thompson.
With a recent five-round dissection of perennial title hunter Rory MacDonald back at UFC Fight Night 89, "Wonderboy" has now won seven in a row in a crowded 170-pound division. He has finished the likes of Johny Hendricks, Jake Ellenberger, and Robert Whittaker along the way.
As the consensus No. 1 contender moving into the second half of 2016, Thompson has set himself up to fight the winner of Robbie Lawler vs Tyron Woodley currently scheduled to go down at UFC 201 on July 30 from Atlanta, Georgia.
