Just saw this. Looks like Thompson will be fighting Matt Brown at UFC 145. I'm officially stoked.

****.

That's gonna be a fun fight to watch, Matt Brown is awesome. I still remember the Chuck Norris-esqe jokes about Matt Brown on TUF.

Don't know if anyone heard Wonderboy on Josh Gross' podcast this week, but when asked when the last time he lost was, he had to go to the backyard football games he played with his brother.

@oldmangloom An article (I believe it was on mmafighting.com) before he had his fight said that the last time he lost a competition match was when he was 12. That's fricking crazy.

He needs to fight someone that's a risk of taking him down. Brown isn't and will be demolished. A big stepup in name but still an easy fight.

So is everyone saying they think this is going to be a KO win for Wonderboy?

I would like to see him fight a wrestler or a grappler as well. I wanna see if he is good off his back. If he is then goddam!

But for now Matt Brown vs Wonderboy seems like a great fight to me!

I would just like to point out that Matt Brown has never lost by (T)KO. I actually kinda think this will be either a decision, or possibly a submission victory for Wonderboy.

Brown is going to be shooting on him. Let's see if he can get him down. I hope Wonderboy doesn't turn out like Makdessi.

Thats a lie. Last time he lost was in 2009 against Raymond Daniels.

@Vweek Thompson tore his ACL in that fight. From what I understand it was caused by an illegal move by Daniels, so it is not counted as a loss. Also, I believe that was in 2007.

HEY. MAKDESSI IS AWESOME.

Thompson apparently has a BJJ black belt and he trains with GSP at Firas Zahabi's, so he might just have epic TDD.

@Zarog. If you watch the fight, there are no illegal moves thrown by Daniels. If you look at Daniels' record, it counts the fight as a win by TKO (Injury). Here's a video of the fight. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=v6yek81uV6I

i'm not saying thompson doesn't have a black belt in bjj, but call me skeptical....he's pretty young, and to have that kind of striking ability it would have to have taken the majority of his focus for the majority of his life

@krazyhopz So you're saying he got his black belt from the same guy that Roli Delgado got it from?

Well happy meal black belts seem to submit Chael Sonnen with ease so who knows.
