Stephen Thompson on UFC Hall of Fame

In a recent interview with Responsible Gambling, Stephen Thompson shared his thoughts on cementing his name as the UFC Hall of Famer.

“I’m fully content in what I’m doing because I’m doing it for myself, not because I want something,” Thompson said, as quoted by mmajunkie.usatoday.com. “I’m fully content with who I’m fighting and when I’m fighting.

I don’t need anything from the UFC. I’ve been with them for a very long time and have done the best I can to represent who I am and the UFC. It would be cool to go down in UFC history. It would be cool to be able to do that, to be in the Hall of Fame.

I think that would be sick”.
