June 18 2016 - UFC Fight Night 89: MacDonald vs. Thompson

Stephen 'Wonderboy' Thompson really impressed me in his last fight, knocking out former UFC Welterweight Champion Johnny Hendricks in the first round at UFC Fight Night 82 winning himself the performance of the night bonus.

However, he is up against Rory MacDonald, a very astute and worthy opponent. He's only lost 3 times in his career and two of those are to current UFC Welterweight Champion Robbie Lawler, losing by split decision in 2013 and by TKO when he challenged Lawler for the UFC Welterweight Championship in 2015.

His other loss was against Carlos Condit at UFC 115 where he proper dominated Condit in the first two rounds but lost it in round three, got dominated on the floor and was finished with seven seconds to go. The judges scorecards revealed that he would have won via split decision had he not been finished by Condit. Tough luck. He's won 18 fights and is still only 26 soon to be 27.

Full card

Welterweight Rory MacDonald vs. Stephen Thompson
Welterweight Donald Cerrone vs. Patrick Cote
L. Heavyweight Steve Bossé vs. Sean O'Connell
Lightweight Olivier Aubin-Mercier vs. Thibault Gouti
Flyweight(W) Valérie Létourneau vs. Joanne Calderwood

Donald 'the cowboy' Cerrone vs Patrick Cote is another enticing fight, could be a cracker. Cerrone's position is similar to Rory Macdonald's in that he has lost twice in the last 3 and a half years, both times to current UFC Lightweight Champion Rafael Dos Anjos, the second bout being a championship match. He got knocked out in 66 seconds though.

This fight will be at Welterweight. Patrick Cote, who is comfortable at Welterweight, has lost once in his last seven fights, losing a unanimous decision to none other than Stephen 'Wonderboy' Thompson.
Any predictions? Favourites?
Id like to see Wonderboy challenge for the title but he'll have to really dig deep to over come Rory.
