Stephen Thompson has a very tough opponent ahead of him in Anthony Pettis at UFC Fight Night 148, but ‘Wonderboy’ is already thinking about his next fight.
The UFC will head to Thompson’s hometown of South Carolina on June 22, and the MMA veteran would love nothing more than to headline the event opposite former welterweight champion Robbie Lawler.
Speaking to reporters ahead of Saturday’s headlining bout with Pettis, Thompson said it would be an honor to fight ‘Ruthless’ in South Carolina.
“Lawler is definitely the fight I’ve been wanting for a while,” Thompson said, per MMA Junkie’s Mike Bohn.
