UFC star Stephen “Wonderboy” Thompson once appeared in a YouTube video posted by bodybuilder Houston Jones. The video went viral at the time when it came out. In the video, Houston Jones is seen challenging ‘Wonderboy’ to kick in his supposed “leg of steel.” Stephen Thompson has recently shared a snippet from the video on Instagram. The YouTube video starts off with Thompson giving a demonstration of his leg kicks on a kicking bag that weighed almost 100 lbs. Although, he was very easily able to knock out the kicking bag. ‘Wonderboy’ claimed that he hadn’t used his full power with the bag.

When he proceeded to demonstrate his kicks on Houston Jones, he warned the YouTuber that his kicks have resulted in someone breaking their femur. Thompson shifted to a different stance when it came time for Jones to take the leg kicks. ‘Wonderboy’ connected with the leg kicks well, which floored the bodybuilder.

In the end, Houston Jones was left with some very noticeable bruises on his right leg. Jones claimed that Thompson‘s kicks were “not wonderful.” The 39-year-old fighter captioned his Instagram post: “I gotta say my foot was pretty sore after kicking his leg of steel @houstonwjones ready for round 2? I’ve been working my shin conditioning.”

Houston Jones made a hilarious reply to Thompson‘s post and said, “My leg was probably even more sore. i’ll start doing extra squats in preparation for round 2”

Here are some of the reactions from users on Instagram:

• It was really nice of Houston to act like those hurt
• That third kick set his legs to factory reset. *Windows shutdown noise*
• Why would anybody agree to this? Best kicker in the game
• I guess he’s skipping leg days for a while
• TKO leg stoppage
• The dude was brave. Had no idea what was going to come at him. WB is a beast. Don’t test him while being recorded. Unless you get paid $$$$$$&&

Many fans commented that ‘Wonderboy’ Thompson is one the best kicker in the sport. Others also commended Houston Jones for taking those leg kicks and even claimed that most people couldn’t take the number of kicks the bodybuilder has taken.
