Veteran former title challenger, Stephen Thompson has suggested he make his return to action against recent headliner, Carlos Prates, labelling the pairing an “amazing” fight.
Thompson, a former two-time challenger for the undisputed welterweight crown during his Octagon tenure, has been sidelined since October of last year.
And suffering his second straight loss, Simpsonsville striker, Thompson was stopped and dropped late on in a knockout defeat to the surging, Joaquin Buckley.
As for Contender Series product, Prates, the Brazilian star headlined UFC Kansas City over the course of last weekend.
And coming unstuck for the first time in his Octagon run, Prates found himself on the wrong side of a decision loss to Irish contender, Ian Garry.
