Media Stephen Thompson thinks he can submit Joaquin Buckley

[svmr_db]

 

[Yep]

Why wouldn’t he be able to?

Why wouldn’t he be able to?

1) He's a 41 year old kickboxer whose only submission win was nearly 15 years ago against a no-wiki page bum.

2) Buckley is a former middleweight who likely has a significant strength advantage over Thompson if they start grappling.

Thompson held his own grappling wise against Rakmanov up until the very last moments.

But he ain't beating nobody by grappling lol

i would love this to happen - WB hasnt ever attempted a sub in the UFC. and he did pretty good against Shavkat for a bit. it'd be just so out of character.
i think its more likely WB styles on Buckley for 3 rounds. possibly a TKO in the 3rd.

 

[Substance Abuse]

I would prefer he just beats the shit out of him standing so he'll shut up. But knowing Buckley, he still won't.

 

[Conor Strickland]

I could see it if he rocks Buckley then Buckley shoots in for a TD then WB goes for the guillotine lol

No one watched a Stephen Thompson fight for submissions. Just do what you do best Stevie boy.

 

[roganisonly5foot3]

I hope wonder boy goes out with a w, he’s gotta be one of the most likable guys in the ufc

 

[jsbx45]

This I gotta see!

He’s saying that cause Buckley will incorporate TDs in this fight

And Thompson thinks he can thwart some of them with some submission talk before-hand

Every pure striker has been doing it since pretty much forever.
Doesn't cost anything to do it but it is also pretty useless for the fight at this point!

And thus Stephen Thompsonedov was born.

Buckley is going to wrestlefuck him. Buckley is good, he is going unnoticed by many. He is entering elite category for me.
Stephen is in for a very tough fight.

 

[HI SCOTT NEWMAN]

Thompson needs to stick with what he is best at and fight at range, Buckley is powerful, best for Thompson to be technical on the outside. Thompson is not as fast and agile as he once was, its understandable due to his age, he needs to play it safe I think

 

[dipstickjimmy]

I could see it if he rocks Buckley then Buckley shoots in for a TD then WB goes for the guillotine lol

I just made up a rumor that WB has been training with Dustin so Guilly is 100% happening.

 

[Kenny Powerth]

And thus born Stephen Thompsonedov was born.

He only needs a mustache-less beard and it's official

He is to slow for that at this point if you ask me.
He needs to put him away before something catches him badly.
He can still throw great counters to fighters moving in on him!
