Thompson returned to the top five of the division this past December after he dominated Geoff Neal for five rounds in the main event of UFC Vegas 17. Now on a two-fight winning streak, Thompson knows he is in close range of another potential title shot in the near future, which is why he is particularly interested in what happens between Usman and Burns.
