Former UFC welterweight title challenger Stephen “Wonderboy” Thompson and top contender Jorge Masvidal want to fight each other.
The two welterweights have gone out on social media and shown interest in fighting each other in the past, but during a fan Q&A in Singapore, both fighters confirmed they wanted to fight each other while standing on stage.
“We want it. We definitely want to get out there and get in the octagon and face off,” Thompson said. “Obviously, you saw him in his last fight, which I thought he won against Damian Maia, he’s a really good striker and I think it’s going to be fireworks.”
Masvidal also confirmed that the fight was going to happen.
In his last fight, Thompson lost a decision to UFC Welterweight Champion Tyron Woodly. In his previous fight, he fought Woodley to a draw.
Masvidal is coming off a split-decision loss to Demian Maia. Prior to that loss, he knocked out Donald “Cowboy” Cerrone.
