Stephen Thompson came up on the short end of a unanimous decision Saturday at UFC Fight Night 199 when he lost to Belal Muhammad in the co-main event. Less than 24 hours after the loss, Thompson (16-6-1 MMA, 11-6-1 UFC) posted a statement on his Instagram in which he apologized to his supporters for the loss Saturday in Las Vegas. He also voiced confidence in his future and ability to rebound from the setback. “I want to apologize to my coaches, my family, and my fans for my performance,” Thompson wrote. “I’m motivated not broken.” For the majority of three rounds, Thompson was controlled and dominated by Muhammad (20-3 MMA, 11-3 UFC), who repeatedly dragged the fight to the ground. Muhammad’s efforts swept the judges’ scorecards 30-25, 30-26, and 30-26
