News about Stephen Thompson

The response from plenty of MMA fans when they heard it would be Steve Erceg (left, top right, bottom right) taking on Alexandre Pantoja (second from top right) at UFC 301, was: 'Who?' Erceg is only ranked No 10 in the division and the Australian has only fought three times in the UFC. But this Saturday night he will challenge the Brazilian in the champion's own back yard, no doubt serenaded by 'uh vai morrer', which translates as 'you're going to die'. Erceg's big opportunity was an unexpected call-up for fans but also the man himself. 

ExclusIVE: After finding a snail next to her chicken at the restaurant in Darlington, Gayle Lambert, 51, has been left 'completely put off' her favorite dish. When the mother, who was enjoying lunch with her daughter, noticed something odd on her plate, she had almost finished her £10.49 mixed-meat roast. We were eating out and about a forkful of mashed potato and stuffing, but as I lifted it to my mouth, we saw this black thing,' Gayle remembered.' I took the fork and looked at it, discovering it to be a snail.' 'There's a snail in my dinner,' I staggered my knife and fork, and looked at my daughter.'

After purchasing certain items from Toby Carvery's delivery service Too Good To Go, a man was left shocked by the state of a Toby Carvery order. Stephen Thompson received the order on Thursday from his local branch in Darlington, County Durham, who sells on branches' surplus and unsold food, thereby reducing waste. However, Mr Thompson was less impressed with his order when it arrived, insisting that even his dog would not touch it.

Leon Edwards is clearly the favorite with Sky Bet at 4/6, although Colby Covington is a marginal 6/5 outsider to win at UFC 296. Edwards is 72% to triumph by TKO/KO, 6/4 to win a decision and a wide 12/1 to submit his opponent. Conversely, Covington is winning by 7/1, 9/4, or 10/1 odds, whichever comes first.

Israel Adesanya may have lost all three fights with Alex Pereira, including kickboxing and MMA, but the betting favorite makes his way to UFC 287. Many believe he won their first battle and point to the fact that he was ahead in the upcoming two, before the tough Brazilian found the finishes he needed. And now UFC fighters are split on how the Miami match will be decided. Pereira's wealth and mental advantage over Adesanya could sway the opinion in his direction, but a fully motivated 'Stylebender' with the necessary experience and technique is a risky proposition.

McGregor is expected to return to the octagon in a match against Michael Chandler after the two coaches finish training on the reality tv show 'The Ultimate Fighter.' McGreogor has brought in former UFC star Stephen Thompson to help prepare his students, with the ex-welterweight champion addressing McGregor's form on 'The Ultimate Fighter.' According to Thompson, McGregor, who hasn't played in the NFL since losing to Dustin Poirier in 2021, has reverted to a more strike-focused strategy rather than a boxing-heavy approach.
