I’m here with Stephen Wonderboy Thompson
I mean Wonder Boy that was a fantastic
performance was that everything you
expected going into the fight with Kevin
Allen 100 man the guys got reached for
days I knew he was gonna be hard to get
on the inside so I had to use my timing
my distance management to get on the
inside and of course good timing you
know you are usually a guy that wants to
attack and not be hit but tonight was
just a fight at what point did you set
your mind to the fact that it was going
to get down and dirty and you were okay
with it oh yeah man I mean you know my
last two performances I lost two
Grapplers I wanted to show the UFC and
the fans that I’m one of the boys still
here you know I I feel like I’m 25
I’m still in for the Long Haul and then
I still got it Wonder Boy let’s take a
look at some of you work here you were
really striking when Kevin would throw
kicks and then as the fight went on your
kicks really did take over the body kick
and then those hook cook kicks but at
what point did you think what will I
have to do to get this guy out of here
because you hit him with some tremendous
shots yeah man he’s tough as Nails I
mean my both of my hands hurt right now
because it is hard knocking but uh man
Kevin Holland’s a beast I knew I had to
use my longest tools which are my kicks
against a guy with a 81 82 inch reach
Wonder Boy you said you’re still here
for the long run I after a fight like
that everybody wants to watch you
compete again I know you have to go and
recover but how soon would you want to
fight again and what are you looking to
see when you step back in the Octagon
you know what I mean you’re going to see
a better Stevie Wonder Boy Thompson baby
I’m out here for the Long Haul everybody
out here I appreciate you thank you
Orlando I freaking love you let’s go
that was an absolutely beautiful
performance maybe fight it a year ladies
and gentlemen
Stephen Wonderboy Thompson
