Stephen "Wonderboy" Thompson VS Darren "Gorilla" Till Poster. Clash of styles (Karate vs Muay Thai)

[Bumblebeef]

Karate VS Muay Thai is a classic Martial Arts matchup. Stephen Thompson is a high level Karate fighter in the cage and Darren Till has a Muay Thai background. Im pumped to see this fight in the cage.

Needs more birds.

 

[Jackonfire]

Till needs to keep his hands up

Thompson’s pants look hella photoshopped, I can tell these things.

Dude this guy really is a boss. Love his work. UFC should hire him

Any time I get excited for fights like this, I get disappointed.

So I instead convince myself that its going to look like Shamrock-Severn 2 and then treat anything more as a pleasant bonus.

Seriously though, it is an intriguing match-up - would love to have it resemble an early UFC fight in terms of it being style versus style

Wonderboy puts on a clinic and then we all lie and say we never rated Till to begin with.

Good poster , I just hope for a great fight with Till coming out the winner .

 

[kimocomplex]

Its decent

Good concept

 

[migeru29]

well he might have a muay thai background but his fighting style looks more like Karate in my opinion. Now I'm no expert in striking so I could be wrong.

 

[Jormungandr]

Pumped !! Good one TS

The best "style vs. style" striking wars have been more recent--fights involving Machida, Pettis, Wonderboy, Cung Le etc. against boxer/MT types. The early UFCs had some potentially exciting fights (karate vs wing chun, etc.) but they almost always ended up on the ground without much stand-up. A few exceptions: Gordeau (savate/kickboxing) vs. Rosier (karete/kickboxing), Rosier vs. Frazier and Orlando Weit (MT) against some kickboxer for his preliminary fight in UFC 2.

Till is not fighting muay thai style tough... more kickboxing imo.

Still very interesting fight.

 

[Mixedfights]

Theres a whole lotta taekwondo in that "karate". Good poster. I got Wonderboy.

 

[Chivas GDL]

This world would be a better place if Wonderboy had beaten Tyron Money Fights Woodley.

So it's a karate kid Photoshop? Doesn't really seem too fitting but looks cool, despite the lack of birds
