Only a couple of days after his dominant unanimous decision win over Vicente Luque at UFC 244, welterweight contender Stephen Thompson already has some names on his mind for his next challenge. This includes one that would be one of the most extreme cases of striker vs. grappler in recent history.
In an interview with Combate, ‘Wonderboy’ said he would like to take on either of the men who starred in UFC 244’s main event, Nate Diaz and Jorge Masvidal, but would also not turn down a battle against jiu-jitsu ace Demian Maia, a man Thompson considers a scary opponent to face in the Octagon.
