Stephen Thompson headlines one of the most stacked UFC fight night events of the year, but is this the last time we’ll see “Wonderboy” in a high-stakes contest?
MMA Fighting’s Mike Heck and Alexander K. Lee discuss the most difficult questions before Saturday’s UFC Orlando. They ask whether Thompson’s win over Kevin Holland will put him back in contention and what that would mean for Holland to defeat a UFC champion twice.
Also, what’s the reasoning behind former UFC lightweight champion Rafael dos Anjos being booked against Bryan Barberena in a welterweight bout, how far is Matheus Nicolau from a fight with a top 5 opponent, could Tai Tuivasa or Sergei Pavlovich punch their ticket to a heavyweight title fight, and what are some of the most notable can’t-miss matchups on a stacked 14-fight card?
