If there was any question about the best striker in the welterweight division, Stephen “Wonderboy” Thompson answered emphatically with his performance in the UFC Vegas 17 main event.
The former title challenger was dominant from start to finish as he put on a striking clinic to batter Geoff Neal throughout all five rounds. “Wonderboy” was dazzling on the feet, beating Neal to the punch in nearly every exchange and just keeping the Contender Series veteran guessing no matter how hard he tried to stage a comeback.
In the end, all three judges scored the fight 50-45 for Thompson as he earns his second straight win in a row overall.
