Stephen Thompson LAS VEGAS – Stephen Thompson denied Johny Hendricks a comeback at welterweight, stopping the ex-champ with a flurry of pinpoint strikes. Hendricks (17-4 MMA, 12-4 UFC) got one chance to wrestle the former kickboxing champ and spent the rest of the opening frame eating Thompson’s (12-1MMA, 7-1 UFC) punches and kicks, succumbing at the 3:31 mark of the first round. “I came out here to put on a good show, and hopefully the fans and everybody back home was impressed. Hopefully, I can get that title, baby,” said Thompson after the fight.
