'Wonderboy': I'm more exciting than Woodley and will put on show in Lawler fight

Stephen Wonderboy Thompson makes his case for a title shot after knocking out Johny Hendricks at UFC Fight Night 82.

Despite his scintillating performance against Johny Hendricks last Saturday at UFC Fight Night 82, Stephen Thompson still trails behind Tyron Woodley in the official UFC rankings.

"Wonderboy" stifled Hendricks with his elusive movement and attacked "Bigg Rigg" with a barrage of kicks and punches before earning the knockout in the 1st round. The karate expert became the first man to KO Hendricks and made a strong case for a shot at the welterweight title.
