STEPHEN THOMPSON WANTS NEXT WELTERWEIGHT TITLE SHOT: “I’M THE ONLY GUY IN THE TOP 5 THAT USMAN HASN’T FOUGHT YET”

By David Tees on 2/15/2021 11:22 AM

Stephen Thompson has previously had two shots at the UFC Welterweight Title and the fighter believes a third shot should be coming his way. 

The fighter, who is ranked #5 in the division and riding a two fight winning streak, recently took to Twitter to explain why he should be next for Kamaru Usman.

Thompson’s previous two title shots came at UFC 205 and UFC 209, where he fought Tyron Woodley to a draw (UFC 205), before suffering a decision loss to Woodley in the rematch (UFC 209).

Usman, who successfully defended the title this past weekend at UFC 258, has yet to respond to the request from Thompson.n for retiring.
