UFC Fight Night 82: Stephen Thompson vs. Johny Hendricks video highlights

LAS VEGAS – Saturday’s UFC Fight Night 82 main event was a career-defining performance for Stephen Thompson – for now, anyway.

Thompson (12-1 MMA, 7-1 UFC) was utterly dominant in his fight against former welterweight champion Johny Hendricks (17-4 MMA, 12-4 UFC), stopping him in the first round with a TKO.

Thompson never let Hendricks get started, it seemed, and was on point with his striking from the opening bell. The win gave “Wonderboy” six straight victories and put him front and center in the welterweight title picture.

Check out the video highlights above from MGM Grand Garden Arena in Las Vegas.
