Stephen Thompson gave new meaning to his "Wonderboy" nickname when he became the first mixed martial arts (MMA) fighter to finish former UFC welterweight champion Johny Hendricks in the UFC Fight Night 82 main event last Saturday night (Feb. 6, 2016) in Las Vegas, Nevada.
The win -- his sixth straight -- put him over the top in the official rankings, where he now sits comfortably in the No. 3 spot. Thompson, however, is still behind Tyron Woodley, a man who was supposed to face "Bigg Rigg," until the latter fell ill following a crippling weight cut last October.
