Two-time Ultimate Fighting Championship welterweight title challenger Stephen Thompson reiterates he is still keen on a fight with former UFC welterweight champion Robbie Lawler despite talks taking longer than expected.
Thompson has been frustratingly close in his recent outings: He fell short on two occasions against current welterweight king Tyron Woodley, but by the narrowest of margins, taking “The Chosen One” to draw in their first fight and dropping a majority decision in the rematch. “Wonderboy” last fought in Liverpool, England back in May, losing a controversial decision to Darren Till.
