Filed under: Featured Videos , News , UFC , Videos Stephen Thompson earned his second straight UFC main event victory when he stopped Johny Hendricks by first-round TKO at UFC Fight Night 82 on Saturday. Thompson (12-1 MMA, 7-1 UFC) completely overwhelmed Hendricks (17-4 MMA, 12-4 UFC) in the FOX Sports 1-televised headliner at MGM Grand Garden Arena in Las Vegas before he finished the former UFC welterweight champ with strikes for the biggest victory of his career . The remainder of the main card wasn’t quite so memorable. Mike Pyle (27-11-1 MMA, 10-6 UFC) and Misha Cirkunov (11-2 MMA, 2-0 UFC) kicked things off with wins inside the distance, but then Joseph Benavidez (24-4 MMA, 11-2 UFC), Ovince Saint Preux (19-7 MMA, 7-2 UFC) and Roy Nelson (21-12 MMA, 8-8 UFC) were all forced to go three rounds to achieve victory.
