UFC 264 brings a capacity MMA crowd back to Las Vegas for the first time since Joanna and Weili put on a fight-of-the-year performance right before we all started learning about lockdowns, r-naught, and respiratory droplets. With an immediate rematch in the main event (even though it’s a McGregor fight), our focus will shift to the intriguing welterweight co-main event between kickboxing sensation Stephen “Wonderboy” Thompson and grappling aficionado Gilbert Burns.
Wonderboy is now a nine-year, 16-fight veteran of the UFC. He comes in on a two-fight win streak after previously getting caught by Anthony Pettis and dropping a decision to Darren Till most top officials thought he should’ve won.
