Johny Hendricks vs Stephen Thompson full fight video preview for UFC Fight Night 82 main event

Ultimate Fighting Championship (UFC) is just a few hours away from its impromptu return to FOX Sports 1, courtesy of tonight’s (Sat., Feb. 6, 2016) UFC Fight Night 82: “Hendricks vs. Thompson” fight card inside MGM Grand Garden Arena in Las Vegas, Nevada.

Headlining the UFC “Vegas” mixed martial arts (MMA) extravaganza is the welterweight showdown pitting Johny Hendricks opposite Stephen Thompson. “Bigg Rigg” (17-3) hopes to keep his name atop a very short list of division contenders, while “Wonderboy” (11-1) wants to break into “the mix” by disposing of a former champion.

High stakes for this pairing and Joe Silva — not Joe Rogan — is here to tell you all about it.

Go figure.
