Facing criticism

Many have criticized Stefen before for using Wonderboy as his walkout song as it mixes comedy songs and MMA. Yes, there is a correlation between Stephen’s nickname and the song’s name, but there is still a section of fans who aren’t happy about his decision.

But Thompson seems to stick with the song, and he walked out to the same song at UFC 264. However, Stefen lost to Gilbert Burns in a closely fought match.

Chris Jericho, who is also part of a band named Fozzy, has flourished in the music industry. Hence, watching him support Stephen for walking out to a Tenacious D theme music makes sense.

Jericho, who is also gifted with great humor skills, which are clear in his promo skills, could have indirectly shown his appreciation to Stephen for mixing comedy songs in the MMA world.
