Months removed from a losing effort against Tony Ferguson for the interim lightweight title, Kevin now looks to make the most out of 2018 and get back to shot at gold. We\u2019ll recap the Ferguson bout, discuss potential match-ups moving forward, his reaction to the announcement of Ferguson vs Nurmagomedov for Brooklyn in April, and McGregor possibly being stripped of the title. Also, Kevin opens up about the loss of his longtime coach and friend, Robert Follis.<\/p>\n<p><strong>9:40PM ET-<\/strong> Closing out the show we are joined by <strong>Stephen \u201c<em>Wonderboy<\/em>\u201d Thompson<\/strong>. Coming off his victory against Jorge Masvidal back at UFC 217, Thompson hopes to rehab a hand injury he sustained in the fight and return to action in the coming months. The No.1 ranked welterweight in the UFC has been called out by many of the elite in the division, and \u201c<em>Wonderboy<\/em>\u201d himself has requested a fight with RDA. We\u2019ll discuss his timeline for getting back in the Octagon, what matchups make the most sense to him, and the difficulties of convincing the promotion to book him opposite Tyron Woodley for a third time.
