Former two-time welterweight title challenger, Stephen Thompson has vowed to scrap scheduled bouts under the UFC banner if his opponent misses weight again – following last month’s cancelled showdown with Michel Pereira ahead of UFC 291.
Thompson, the current number seven ranked welterweight contender, was slated to make his return to the Octagon at UFC 291 at the end of July in Salt Lake City, Utah – taking on Brazilian striker, Pereira in a main card matchup.
However, ahead of the bout, the Simpsonville native elected against competing at a catchweight limit against the Pereira, after the Brazilian missed weight by four pounds for the matchup in ‘The Beehive State’.
