LIVERPOOL, England – Even when in fistfights, MMA fighters can be an apologetic bunch. Just ask Stephen Thompson , the UFC welterweight contender who headlines Sunday’s UFC Fight Night 130 event. Before his bout with Darren Till (16-0-1 MMA, 4-0-1 UFC), which airs on FS1 from Echo Arena in Liverpool, England, Thompson (14-2-1 MMA, 9-2-1 UFC) today toured Goodison Park, home of the Premier League’s Everton Football Club (via Twitter ): While there, Thompson spoke with fellow fighters UFC Liverpool fighters Dennis Bermudez and Molly McCann about some recent bouts – and some apologies. Check out the video above to hear about the time champ Tyron Woodley inadvertently bit Thompson’s finger , as well as the time Thompson apologized to ex-titleholder Johny Hendricks for an accidental groin kick – before laying him out with (legal) kicks and punches.
