Former two-time welterweight title challenger, Stephen Thompson has revealed he was recently approached by a BKFC (Bare Knuckle Fighting Championship) to determine his interest in a potential transition to the ring once his UFC deal lapses — much to his disinterest, in fact.
Thompson, a former two-time welterweight title challenger and perennial contender at 170lbs, most recently returned at UFC 307 back in October in Utah.
And taking on the streaking knockout ace, Joaquin Buckley, Simpsonville striker, Thompson was stopped with a rallying third round finish by the former, handing him his second consecutive stoppage loss following a prior submission defeat to the unbeaten, Shavkat Rakhmonov.
