UFC 264 co-main event Burns vs Thompson

[Alexandoy]

An equally exciting bout in UFC 264 is the co-main event between #2 welterweight contender Gilbert Burns and #4 contender Stephen Thompson. The most recent fight of Burns was a loss against champion Kamaru Usman. Thompson had a title fight against former champion Tyron Woodley that resulted in 1 draw and 1 loss. The early betting odds is favoring Thompson who was undefeated during his kickboxing days..

It is unfortunate for Thompson to fail the grade of the judges to lose by unanimous decision to Burns. The takedown in every round had probably given the nod of the judges to Burns. It seemed the Thompson was helpless when he would be on the ground under the body of Burns. It’s not an exciting fight at all. Perhaps the 38-year old Thompson should be thinking of retirement.

I'm pretty sure Stephen 'Wonderboy' Thompson is still wondering what went wrong, lol.

He did show some potential. He needs to put in more work.

If he works on a few things here and there I'm pretty sure the next time we see him, we are not going to be disappointed.
