Stephen Thompson is slowly working his way back from a knockout loss to Anthony Pettis back in March. That kept him from not fighting in his hometown of Greenville, but he is now ready to return.
“Wonderboy” is eyeing a fight with Rafael dos Anjos in November at Madison Square Garden.
“Hopefully be fighting back in Madison Square Garden in November is the plan,” Thompson said backstage at UFC 240. “Don’t know who yet. But we will see.”
As for who he wants at MSG in November, well he has his eyes set on the former lightweight champion, Rafael dos Anjos. If that doesn’t pan out, he just wants a top-five opponent.
“I know me and ‘RDA’ (Rafael dos Anjos) are both coming off of a loss so might be a good time for him to heal up and make that a good time to happen at MSG. So that would be cool. I know Robbie Lawler has a fight coming up this week, so we will see how that goes. Someone I’m looking at it is someone in the top-five.”
Whether or not he gets it is to be seen. But, the good news is that Stephen Thompson can once again fight and will fight before the year is up. The former welterweight title challenger is looking to make his climb back up the rankings and get another title shot.
Who do you think Stephen Thompson should fight next?

This is a take you may not have expected to hear from Derrick Lewis.
The rapidly rising Lewis picked up what turned out to be the biggest win of his career at UFC 229 last Saturday. Facing a certain loss to previous No. 2 Alexander Volkov, Lewis stormed back with a jaw-dropping knockout in the final 10 seconds of the fight.
That win earned him a surprising title fight with champion Daniel Cormier in the main event of November 3’s UFC 230 from New York as a result. “The Black Beast” is a sizable underdog to double-champ Cormier. That’s hardly a surprise, however. More surprising was the simple fact that he got the bout considering Cormier was slated to fight Brock Lesnar in early 2019.
But UFC 230 needed a legitimate main event and it now has one. ‘The Black Beast’ is thankful for the opportunity. However, he’s still a bit surprised. Lewis recently told TMZ Sports (via MMA News) that he thought former champion Stipe Miocic deserved his shot:
“I don’t know why they don’t want to give it to Stipe. It’d been great for them to give it to Stipe than to me, but I appreciate them giving me the shot. I really believe that Stipe really deserves the shot, seeing as how he was the champion for a while, he defended that many times, and I guess dominant for a while.
“I don’t know why they gave it to me before they gave it to Stipe. Everyone else, whenever they lost their belt, they got a shot to win it back. I don’t know why they didn’t give it to Stipe, unless he wanted some time off.”
From his point of view, Miocic does not want any time off. He went off on Cormier on social media last night. The record-setting former champion, who was knocked out by Cormier in their first match at July’s UFC 226, said he would beat “DC” nine out of 10 times.
From a pure legitimacy standpoint, Miocic is undoubtedly the most deserving. He set the record for most consecutive title defenses in a division that is notoriously the toughest to do just that. But Miocic won’t get the coveted rematch. Cormier will only give him one if Lesnar can’t make it to their expected fight in 2019.
Even Lewis acknowledged that. Perhaps Miocic has a quicker path to a title fight if Lewis somehow shocks the world at UFC 230. Based on the odds, that shouldn’t happen. This is MMA, and anything can happen.
Do you agree with Lewis’ assessment of the messy situation?
