Hangs tough in decision loss
Thompson lost to Gabriel Bonfim via split decision (28-29, 29-28, 28-29) at UFC Fight Night on Saturday in Nashville.
Impact
Thompson continues to hang around and be very competitive at age 42, but sooner or later he's going to have to start putting some wins on the board. 15 years the junior of Bonfim, Wonderboy predictably did just fine on the feet. He did give up five takedowns, but allowed just 5:29 worth of control time and typically did an excellent job of working his way right back to his feet. He got stronger as the fight progressed and was responsible for the biggest blow of Round 3, which ended up being the deciding frame. Thompson very easily could have won a decision here. Wonderboy is 1-5 in his past five fights dating back to July 2021 despite very clearly having plenty of gas left in the tank.
