Prediction:
Stephen “Wonderboy” Thompson faces off against jiu-jitsu world champion Gilbert Burns in UFC 264’s co-main event Saturday night.
Burns is the second-ranked fighter in the UFC welterweight division and just fought for the title at UFC 258. Notably, Burns nearly knocked Kamaru Usman out cold in their fight.
Burns is an extremely dangerous grappler who might have the best submission grappling in the welterweight division. This is a spot Thompson will clearly want to avoid. Thompson is a karate-style fighter who has incredible kicks that help him to control the distance at will.
Sister:
Their companionship led to their siblings meeting each other, falling in love, and getting married. Stephen Thompson’s brother Tony Thompson is married to Chris Weidman’s sister, making the two fighters brothers-in-law. ‘Wonderboy‘ once explained in an interview how the two met.
