Stephen Thompson is currently #4 in the welterweight roster of the ultimate fighting championship. The latter is an American native who entered the promotion in the year 2012 with a win over Dan Stittgen. Since then, ‘Wonderboy’ has won several big matches in his UFC career.

The 38-year-old currently holds a record of (16-4) with seven T/KO wins and one submission win under his name. After losing his second UFC match against Matt Brown, ‘Wonderboy’ went on an amazing seven-win streak from 2013 to 2016. However, his win streak ended after a draw in a title bout against Tyron Woodley at UFC 205.

The American native fought only two title bouts in his UFC career, both against Tyron Woodley. However, ‘Wonderboy’ is yet to win welterweight gold. The American fighter is currently on a two-win streak and is all set to clash against Gilbert Burns at UFC 264.

Thompson is regarded as one of the nicest people in the promotion, however, fans do not much about his personal life. Ahead of his intriguing fight against Gilbert Burns, we look at the private side of Thompson’s life.
