Not so long ago, former UFC welterweight champione Kamaru Usman announced his desire to fight with Stephen Thompson this autumn. Steven didn't ignore Kamaru's words as he accepted the challenge.
“He is one of those top 3 guys that I have never dated. I never had the opportunity to fight Kamaru Usman. And the fact that he declared his desire to fight me is amazing. I'm all for it," Thompson said.
Recall that Usman had his last fight in March of this year, losing by majority decision to Leon Edwards.
