UFC welterweight fighter Stephen Thompson is gearing up for his next fight with former champion Gilbert Burns at UFC 264 on July 10, 2021. Wonderboy is on a two-match winning streak and would want a win against Burns to hope for a title clash opportunity going further. [https://image-cdn.essentiallysports.com/wp-content/uploads/73438-16082865470398-800.jpg] In UFC, Thompson is more known for his fighting prowess rather than his trash-talking. He is also the holder of the inaugural UFC NMF belt. However, MMA is not the only love embedded in him. He likes to play video games when not in the ring or sweating it out in the gym, specifically Call of Duty (COD). Recently, in a video, he was seen playing COD and was sharing an incident where he had trash-talked a kid while playing. “When it comes to gaming, I get into a competitive attitude man, at rage. Like my students, my kids, I don’t even tell them that I have a Twitch.” “They don’t need to see me cussing the storm,” he added. He then revealed the incident where he had a go at a kid. “I had one of them actually watching because his parents play all the time, he’s like, ‘Mr. Stevens, you were saying some bad words’. I was like ‘shut the f**k up kid’. “I’m scared- I didn’t say that.” As one of the nicest guys around in UFC, Ariel Helwani gave him the title Nicest Mother F****r (NMF) in December 2019. It was an indirect take on the title which ‘Gamebred’ Masvidal was bestowed upon, the BMF (Baddest Mother F****r).

UFC welterweight fighter Stephen Thompson shares an incident when he had trash
talked a kid, a trait different from his nice guy persona.

Akshyay Mahapatra is a UFC author for EssentiallySports. He wished to combine
his passion for the UFC (that he has been following since 2008) as well as his
love for writing. This motivated him to enter the world of combat sports
journalism. His long tenure as a fight fan lends weight to the views he
expresses in his articles. Following Brock Lesnar's move from the WWE to the
UFC, he grew to respect the work of every single professional fighter. As he
understood MMA is a true discipline, he remained a die-hard UFC fan even after
Alistair Overeem sent Brock Lesnar packing from the UFC at UFC 141 in 2011. He
is a great admirer of the Dagestani juggernaut Khabib Nurmagomedov and is a fan
of 'The Predator' Francis Ngannou's insane KO power.
