Stephen Thompson just had a massive unanimous decision [https://www.mmafighting.com/2020/12/19/22179766/ufc-vegas-17-results-thompson-vs-neal] win over Geoff Neal in the final UFC card of the year. However, Thompson is already looking ahead and may have a scintillating rematch on his mind. After beating Neal, Wonderboy openly called out Jorge Masvidal [https://www.essentiallysports.com/tag/jorge-masvidal/], a man he has previously beaten. After the fight, Thompson got a chance to elaborate on his callout and told ESPN MMA why he chose Masvidal for it. “Well number one, I know he was interested if he won the belt against Usman the first time, he’d defend the belt against me. I know he wants that win back. It’s crazy because he inspires me to keep moving forward, to keep pushing, because it wasn’t long ago that I beat him at UFC 217.” “Now he’s one of the most popular guys in the UFC, ranked higher than me. I thought we put on a good show the first time, why not do it again?” STEPHEN THOMPSON: CAN HE MAKE IT 2-0 AGAINST MASVIDAL? Everyone is just waiting for the Jorge Masvidal and Colby Covington [https://www.essentiallysports.com/tag/colby-covington/] super-fight right now. They have a rivalry; both lost to Kamaru Usman [https://www.essentiallysports.com/tag/kamaru-usman/], and this fight is a guaranteed million buys for the UFC. While Thompson may not be the attractive fight, it would be the one that makes sense under normal MMA rankings. Stephen Thompson [https://www.essentiallysports.com/wp-content/uploads/GettyImages-1185145082.jpg]NEW YORK, NEW YORK – NOVEMBER 02: (R-L) Stephen Thompson punches Vicente Luque of Brazil in their welterweight bout during the UFC 244 event at Madison Square Garden on November 02, 2019 in New York City. (Photo by Josh Hedges/Zuffa LLC via Getty Images) Thompson is currently on a two-fight win-streak with triumphs over Vicente Luque and now Geoff Neal. He was the last man to beat Masvidal [https://mmajunkie.usatoday.com/2017/11/ufc-217-results-stephen-thompson-outworks-outstrikes-game-jorge-masvidal] before ‘Gamebred’ went on this run. A second loss to Wonderboy would be a hard road for the BMF to overcome. It is a high-risk and low-reward fight for him, so he may not be that willing to take it. However, an opportunity to get his win back could be tantalizing. Even though the ‘NMF’ Thompson has asked for this fight, it seems the ‘BMF’ Masvidal has other fish to fry. However, if Thompson continues on this resurgent trajectory, he may be knocking at Masvidal’s door sooner than later. 

Stephen Thompson just had a massive win over Geoff Neal in the final UFC card of

<p class="dom-traversal_domPTag__RMrin">UFC star Jorge Masvidal established himself as a fan favorite because of his shenanigans both inside and outside the Octagon. The outspoken welterweight burst into the scene after his exploits with a now-defunct Strikeforce. While the American fighter scrapped inside the UFC Octagon for over a decade, the year 2019 stands out for his memorable performances. Not only did he win the inaugural BMF title againstÂ <a class="es-hyperlink-new" href="https://www.essentiallysports.com/tag/nate-diaz/" target="_self" rel="noopener">Nate Diaz</a>, but also bagged a title shot that he cashed in the next year.

<p class="dom-traversal_domPTag__RMrin">In addition, he built a reputation for taking a firm stance and valor.
