Stephen Thompson will turn 38 in February, but the “Wonderboy” still moves like a fighter years and years younger. The two-time UFC welterweight title challenger showed he’s still an elite competitor near the top of the 170-pound division at UFC Fight Night 183 Saturday night, as he schooled a fighter seven years younger in Geoff Neal . Neal (13-3 MMA, 5-1 UFC) put in a respectable showing in his biggest spotlight. But Thompson (16-4-1 MMA, 11-4-1 UFC) stuck and moved and flustered his opponent for the better part of 25 minutes as he cruised to a unanimous decision victory in the final UFC fight of 2020. The judges scores were 50-45 across the board at the UFC Apex in Las Vegas. “‘Wonderboy’ is still here, baby,” Thompson said in his post-fight interview.
