Stephen Thompson, UFC welterweight, shared his expectations for his upcoming fight with Shavkat Rakhmonov. “Wonderboy” expressed confidence that Shavkat would not want to fight him in a standing position.
“I don’t think that Shavkat will want to fight with me in the stand. Sooner or later he will climb at my feet. And he will not just try to translate, but also win victory on earth. When I don’t have a single bruise or cut after a fight, it’s a disgusting feeling. When you can barely walk, it’s awesome. People look at you and wonder what you did last night. You feel like you’ve lived through a war,” Stephen said.
Let us remind you that the fight between Thompson and Rakhmonov will take place on December 16 as part of UFC 296.
