Stephen Thompson likely secured himself a welterweight title shot at UFC Fight Night 89 last night after he scored a decision victory over Rory MacDonald in the evening’s main event.
Here is how the pros reacted to “Wonderboy’s” big win:
I feel like @rory_macdonald is blocking his nose most the fight.

Crowd keeps booing but this is a tactical fight. Both are landing decent. Both fighters are tacticians so I expected a back and forth fight

IMO @WonderboyMMA wins that fights hands down. 2 takedowns, better strikes, more damage. @ufc

Hard for me to imagine ANYTHING messing with Rory Mac mentally. Dude is stone faced all the time, no matter what

Best rd for both as they trade some serious shots with wonderboy landing the better ones. Rory's face messed up 4-1 wonderboy #UFCOttawa
