An exciting welterweight bout is on the cards as Stephen Thompson and Vicente Luque will take place at UFC 244.

The news was announced by UFC president Dana White (via ESPN) as it is the latest addition to what is looking to be a stacked card.

Thompson hasn’t competed since suffering his first-ever knockout loss back in March to Anthony Pettis. “Wonderboy” was targeting a return at Madison Square Garden — where he has fought twice already — and got his wish as he faces the red-hot Luque.

Luque is coming off a split-decision win over Mike Perry and is a winner of 10 of his last 11 outings. Thompson is undoubtedly the biggest and highest-ranked opponent the Brazilian will have faced.

Also announced by White was the co-main event of UFC 244 which will now be the middleweight encounter between Kelvin Gastelum and Darren Till. Till has lost his last two fights but will be making his debut at 185 pounds against Gastelum.

UFC 244 takes place November 2 at New York’s Madison Square Garden. It will be headlined by a welterweight contest between Nate Diaz and Jorge Masvidal. White previously revealed he would create a “BMF” belt for the main event.

What do you think of Thompson vs. Luque? And the UFC 244 card as of now?

Stephen Thompson Reveals Desired Next Opponent

Stephen Thompson has not fought since March of this year at UFC Nashville when he was knocked out by Anthony Pettis. Since then, he has been recovering from the knockout and looking forward to what is next. Why he took so long off since the knockout is simple for Thompson. “I wanted to take the […]

Why he took so long off since the knockout is simple for Thompson.

“I wanted to take the summer off after that last fight with Anthony Pettis,” Thompson said to MMA Junkie. “Taking that shot was like, ‘Man, I want to make sure I’m healed up before I step back out there.’ Especially mentally, for my brain, and making sure that’s healed up before I step back out.

“To be honest with you, I’m 100 percent. I’m ready to step back out there and do it again. At this point, I’m just trying to find an opponent.”

The welterweight division is stacked that there are plenty of options for Stephen Thompson and his next fight. One opponent, “Wonderboy” wants is Rafael dos Anjos, as they are coming off of losses and both highly ranked.

Yet, if that fight doesn’t happen he would be open to fighting Vicente Luque.

“I know me and ‘RDA’ are coming off of a loss,” Thompson said. “That was kind of thrown out there, and hopefully that will work. It’s kind of up in the air, but I’d love for it to happen at Madison Square Garden. I want to get back up in that top five again. So that’s why the ‘RDA’ fight is so appealing to me.

“I don’t know if Vicente Luque is ranked yet. I think he’s in the top 14 or 15 or something like that, so it wasn’t that appealing to me. But if the ‘RDA’ thing doesn’t happen, that’s definitely a possibility. He’s a great fighter.”

The hope for Stephen Thompson is that he can fight again at UFC 244 in Madison Square against a top-ranked welterweight.

Vicente Luque picked up another big victory last night (Sat. August 10, 2019) inside the Octagon.

Luque bested Mike Perry on the judges’ scorecards after a three-round war. Both men took big damage during the bout, but especially Perry, who had his nose mangled after a nasty knee. After the win, Luque got on the mic and called his shot for his next fight. The Brazilian called for a bout with former title challenger Stephen “Wonderboy” Thompson. (via BJPenn.com)

“I’ve done four fights in less than 12 months now, and I think I’ve proved my point,” Luque said. “I’m ready to fight anybody in the top 10. I know ‘Wonderboy’ doesn’t have a fight lined up right now. I’m up to it in November, December, whenever he wants to. I’m up to go there and throw down with him.”

Calling out Thompson was a good strategy by Luque. “Wonderboy” is one of the biggest names in the division and a two-time title challenger. He comes off a knockout loss to Anthony “Showtime” Pettis, the first of his mixed martial arts (MMA) career.

Should he accept a bout with Luque, he’ll be stepping back into the cage with another proven finisher.
