Former UFC welterweight title contender Stephen Thompson commented on his refusal to fight with Michel Pereira after the latter failed the weigh-in before the UFC 291 tournament.

"I want everyone at welterweight to know that if you're going to fight me, you'd better make weight. Otherwise, there will be no fight. Now I am at that stage of my career when I want fair fights. I don't want to play any games.

I plan to compete at UFC 295. It doesn't matter who will be the opponent, but not Michel Pereira. He doesn't deserve this. I gave you one chance, but you won't get another. There are other guys who are more deserving of this, ”Sportkeeda quotes Thompson.
