After each suffered a recent high-profile loss, welterweight contenders Stephen Thompson and Jorge Masvidal are looking at each other for an upcoming fight. Thompson (13-2-1 MMA, 8-2-1 UFC) and Masvidal (32-12 MMA, 9-5 UFC) said today during a fan Q&A in Singapore ahead of UFC Fight Night 111 that they are on board for a future showdown. It’s just a matter of settling on a date and location, then getting bout agreements sent out and signed. “Wonderboy” is coming off a title-fight loss to champion Tyron Woodley at UFC 209 in March, while Masvidal dropped a narrow split decision to Demian Maia in a No. 1 contender fight at UFC 211 in May.
