Ultimate Fighting Championship (UFC) will try to elevate Stephen “Wonderboy” Thompson to a 170-pound title shot by going through top division contender Rory “Ares” MacDonald, who may not be willing to lay down in front of a hometown crowd this June on FOX Sports 1. Elsewhere in the UFC Fight Night 89 line up, Donald “Cowboy” Cerrone continues his welterweight exploits opposite longtime veteran Patrick “The Predator” Cote. Fun!
