Former UFC welterweight title challenger Stephen Thompson would love to face Nate Diaz at some point in his career.
Thompson suffered the first knockout of his career when he faced Anthony Pettis at UFC Nashville earlier this year. He was originally hoping to compete at the UFC Greenville card which takes place near his hometown later this month. However, with his knockout defeat to Pettis, he is now taking things slow as he hopes to return in the fall instead.
His ideal preference for a comeback fight is someone in the top five, but another option in Diaz also entices “Wonderboy”:
“Dude, I would love to fight Nate Diaz, man,” Thompson told reporters at UFC 238. “He’s a legend of the game for sure. I think I’m older than him but still, he’s a legend of the game and he’s been in the game a lot longer than I have.
“The dude’s tough, I like his mentality, I like where his head’s at especially when it comes to the art of war. It’s just awesome. That would be a very cool fight, I think.“
Diaz is set to make his return to action after nearly three years when he meets Pettis at UFC 241 which takes place August 17 in Anaheim, California.
Thompson thinks it will be a great fight but is ultimately rooting for the man who inflicted his most recent defeat:
“I think it’s going to be a great fight for both of them,” Thompson added. “Of course, I think I’m rooting for Anthony just because he beat me last. And I’ve been a fan of his for a while anyway.
“I think Nate’s definitely got the reach but he’s just a relentless guy. Takes a lot of damage which tires a lot of his opponent out. His opponents start to get tired and he just takes over so it’s going to be a good fight.”

UFC welterweight title contender Stephen Thompson welcomes a potential rematch against fellow contender Darren Till.
Their first fight took place in the main event of UFC Liverpool event back in May 2018 that aired live on FOX Sports 1 at the Echo Arena in Liverpool, England. Thompson lost via unanimous decision. It was a close fight with some controversy as some people thought Thompson had won the fight.
Despite having a tough week leading up to this fight including missing weight, Till was able to pick up a notable win over a top name.
Since then, both fighters have gone through some struggles. Thompson lost to former UFC lightweight champion Anthony Pettis in the headliner of UFC on ESPN+ 6 by knockout in the second round.
On the flip side, Till lost by submission to then-UFC welterweight champion Tyron Woodley in the main event of UFC 228. In his latest fight, he suffered a knockout loss to Jorge Masvidal at UFC Fight Night 147 in London.
While doing a recent interview, Thompson made it known that he would be open to a rematch against Till.
“I’d love to step back out there with my man Darren Till,” Thompson told MMA Fighting’s Eurobash podcast “I think we put on a show last time, so of course, I would love to [fight him again]. To be honest, any one of those guys that I’ve stepped in the Octagon with — Darren Till, Anthony Pettis, Tyron Woodley — I would love to step back in the Octagon with those guys.”
“If that happens, heck yeah,” said Thompson on the possibility of the Till rematch. “We’re both coming off knockout losses. You never know, things could line up that way.”
