Stephen Thompson on his battle vs. Kevin Holland: I said sorry after hitting him 🤣 | UFC Post Show 

I don’t think people understand the inhuman cardio this man has to fight at a pace like that at 39 and then not even be breathing heavy in your post fight interview, this guy is a beast

This fight was everything we love about MMA: high-level skills, determination, heart, entertainment, and sportsmanship! Kevin and Stephen represent the sport in the best way. Straight warriors and class acts!!!

Kevin vs Wonderboy, a fight where most of us did not want either one to lose. What a beautiful display of striking. Wonderboy's striking is a poetry in motion.

Thompson had a great performance tonight. He’s one of the last great - exciting traditional martial artists in the UFC. We should all respect and appreciate this guy while he is still here representing the art of Karate!

a true example of martial artist

My man just proved once again he’s got one of THE most effective stand up styles the UFC’s ever seen, crazy he’s almost 40. What an absolute beast.

Wonderboy is in a weird spot, I don’t know if he could get through the grapplers to get to the Title fight, but at the same time he could have a very good chance against Edwards

Wonder boy is the perfect example on how to be kind, respectful and humble. A real legend

Disabling Kevin's power hand, WBs dad screaming "break the body baby" before a lethal liver kick and then Wonderboy proceeding to concuss Kevin on he's feet and ultimately break him was a thing of beauty.

He's so right and it's because of this striking that people wrestle him. Even now at his age he's a killer in the striking department.

15 glove touches that has to be a Record in a fight!

I hope Wonderboy becomes an analyst after his career. He's so well spoken, and just an awesome guy.

My heart's going to break when this man decides to retire, absolute legend in and out of the octagon.

“That was awesome!” “I don’t remember a thing” 😂 gotta love wonderboy

Dad Thompson in the shadows got me shook

Wonderboy showed what he is capable of. Fantastic performance at nearly 40 years old. Congrats to him, he's a true champion and a true martial artist. Bravo !

Gotta love wonderboy

So happy that wonderboy came out on top!

As a lifelong karate/Kickboxing guy myself he is adapted to ufc so well. You can't stand with this guy. In the striking department aside from a lucky KO punch nobody in the division could beat him in striking. He's so accurate.

I’ve known Stephen since I was a kid. Trained martial arts in the school. Safe to say he really is this humble & light-hearted all of the time!

The most honest dude in combat sports (wonder boy Thompson)

I truly believe wonderboy would retire mcgregor if they fought, but I want to see it

Absolute legend

Wonder boy has always been my favourite fighter for years love that style so aesthetically pleasant to watch

Just saw this live in Orlando, fight was epic to see live

Huge fan and respect for both athletes 🇫🇷🤝🇺🇲

if Wonderboy had a Glover story and becomes champ at 40 something it'll be the best thing ever

Thompson with another masterful performance somewhat to what he did against Geoff Neal, but more like Tony vs Gaethje when it came to damage and slowly picking someone apart. Hope Thompson gets a big fun fight next instead of someone like Khamzat, Colby or Shavkat who gonna take him down...

Conor vs Stephen could potentially be one of the most exciting fights in ufc history

Thompson looked incredible. Pretty amazing speed and skills. Most people slow quite a bit by 38-39. One of the best fights this year for sure.

He hasn't aged since he came into the UFC

Please give us Conor vs Wonderboy!

Phenomenal fight, phenomenal performance. Holland hung for a few rounds and looked good too but Wonderboy was a relentless vet who kept his composure and just kept hammering. What a show by both.

I’ll never forget this fight truly something special tonite.

People be sleeping on WB. He lost last 2 but those were against good grapplers . He is a different gravy when it comes to stand up. What he did to Luque and Neal opened my eyes. Hope he gets a hefty payday against a big name.

I just dont comprehend how the sweetest man like Wonder Boy is capable of such violence. He was just incredible!

What a fight this was! My favorite fight in 2022... and this man at 39 keeping up that pace and still lightning fast, amazing stuff.

Such a brilliant fight WonderBoy. You got me all fired up to keep training harder, and to learn more. I love striking. Congrats!

What a great fight between 2 men , great competitors,! Awesome

Wonderboy is such a wholesome dude, yet dangerous af in the ring. Props to Holland for hanging all of 4 rounds with him!

Two of the most humble people in the UFC! How do you not love this guy?

Wonderboy is impossible not to root for. Dude is a hero, mentally and physically. It's plausible he could take on Edwards for the belt after a rematch on Masvidal, would love to see Wonderboy retire as a legend.

One of the best versions of Thompson we have seen, if not ever!

What a fight. Respect 🤛

Gotta love Wonderboy, man of the people

One of the best performances I’ve ever seen from a stand up fighter

Fight of the decade. Absolutely incredible. Greatest display of martial arts the UFC has ever seen. Both men keeping their word to keep it on the feet. This word gets thrown around a lot but this time it’s the truth, WARRIORS.

It’s rare when both fighters are SO likable. Didn’t even know who to cheer for, but man what a fight!

I hope the UFC continues to give Wonderboy fun fights. He doesn’t have the grappling to contend for a title, but he can put on great shows with/against other strikers! Amazing performance last night from both men.

What a great human being Wonderboy is. So happy for you man

Example of how extended an athletic prime can be if said athlete lives the right kind of life

So glad to see Wonderboy get the win! On to the next one

This was Goku vs Batman. What an incredible fight. Can't wait to watch wonderboy fight again!!

Congrats man. One of the bests i ever saw fighting. 👊🔥

Very respectful, this is how people should be!

That fight was sick af I woke my baby up 😅

Everyone became UFC fan because of McGregor fights in my country. i became UFC fan thanks to Wonderboy. i love this man

Happy for Wonderboy! Congrats from right down the street in Greenville! Representing upstate SC. He definitely belongs in the UFC. Proved his toughness again tonight.

Love that shot of him talking about his dad with him right there. I’m sure that was a great moment for his dad

Aww Papa Thompson getting teary eyed

Man his performance in this fight was unreal so I really hope he continues to work on his defensive grappling so that he can pull himself back into top 5 and have a chance at the belt.

Great human beings - both of them

Both of them delivered a performance that will make fans queue up for their next appearance.

Honestly to get hit in the face so much and still be able to give a full interview and be coherent and composed on his answers speaks volumes of his work ethic.

I'm a married man to a woman,but I'm in love with this guy , so classy

What a highlight heel this man has, just slowly shredding everyone’s game into pieces round by round. Until only a punching bag remains. R brilliant

Hey Stephen, i like you man, it's always nice listening to you. You are respectful and i enjoy watching your fights, keep it moving my brother🏆

What a gentleman and ambassador for the sport.

Wonderboy is another one on the list of “greatest fighters to never get the belt”

love wonderboy's passion for the sport and his personality/content/channel sharing his expertise. this fight was insane to watch.

Wonderboy amazing performance. Much love from Canada. A real person to look up to.

Wonderboy is just special...the "nice guy" persona makes ppl overlook just how dangerous he really is

Such a good fight! Both Holland and WB showing the striking master class. Stephen Thompson had stamina for days, his durability and experience also showed through the fight 👏

Just got home, man what a fight! Love ya WB!

karyn i remember when you started on youtube and you are doing great work as always

Wow 39 years old and he went straight supersaian 3 tonight,

Wonderboy is SUCH a well spoken, super kind human and an amazing fighter. Congrats Stephen!!

Amazing performance! Didn't expect that ... But still wonderful fighter! Respect for both 💪🇦🇷

Me first two rounds were full of me jumping rooting for wonder boy to not eat a shot thinking it could be over with one punch. Last to rounds I’m rooting for holland to survive the fight. What a banger.

The technique from wonderboys kicks is amazing. For the first part of the kick it looks like he's just flicking it out there then he snaps it over and it sounds like a baseball back slamming into his opponent. A life time of karate has fine tuned them.

Both legends forever !

I watch Stephen's podcast. I love and respect this man. He is unbelievably talented and just an all around good human being. Definitely 1 of my top 5. When he throws that leg up you don't see it you only hear the crack of it hitting his opponent. Amazing! And the love he has for his Dad is incredible! ❤️

❤ Wonderboy and his Dad

Was awesome seeing wonder boy last night live putting a go show us fans

I definitely rooted for both guys. These two guys are extremely classy and earned the UFC more fans.

Thompson vs. Conor in 2023. Great style matchup and a great fun fight for conor to come back too

That was a fookin kick clinic

Truly incredible display of world class talent

What a fight! Thank you so much Mr Thompson and Mr Holland for giving us a fight to remember.....You are the reason that I love MMA.....Until next time gentlemen.....

Thank you to both Gentlemen that was fun to watch. Literally 2 ninjas. Wonderboy still got it

Very good gameplan by WB and his team. Holland is long, unorthodox, and has heavy hands. On paper these attributes should be a huge advantage against WB's fighting style cuz he likes to control distance, counter, and unload flurries but WB was so fast and precise I think it caught Holland off guard. He also did a great job at eluding the power shots, he really only got caught once or twice. Normally when you watch someone at his age move forward with those kinds of flurries they get countered and KO'd. He's looked really good in the later part of his career, he put on a similar striking clinic against a really good Vicente Luque not too long ago as well. What a fight and what a performance.

What á class act. Thank you wonderboy and Holland. Awesome fight💙🙏

what a fight ..... !!!! oh i love both of these fighters

Imagine prime Izzy vs prime Wonderboy 🔥 High level striking but completely different style

WONDERBOY VS CONOR LETS GOOOO! WHAT AN AMAZING FIGHT

Amazing amazing performance 40 in 2 months and fighting like thats some OG stuff

Pure Class…Awesome

I really think WB should go to a different training camp to help with his grappling. Its really the biggest hurdle holding him back

Nicest guy in the history of UFC

love this dude- and kevin - love watching them
