UFC Fight Night 82 results: Stephen Thompson def. Johny Hendricks via TKO

With karate Stephen Thompson will kick your ass, from here, to right over there! Just straight up smashed him around the Octagon like it was nothing, earning the stoppage at 3:31 of the first round. I'll be back. It's a new start, you've just got to move forward'.

In the losing effort, Hendricks showed all the characteristics of a great, yet flawed fighter.

This setback leaves Hendricks at a crossroads.

Elsewhere in Las Vegas, Mickey Gall's debut in the UFC had it all. Hendricks is a former welterweight champion looking to get the belt back and has struggled with his weight recently.

Here's the Things About Heavyweights... "I tried to be awkward, throw a lot of kicks, and see what happens".

He certainly caught the attention of Dana White, the UFC president who was none too happy with the co-main event between Roy Nelson and Jared Rosholt.

In fact, let's stop talking about it.

Hendricks beat Lawler by decision for the title in 2014 but a rematch was scored the other way.

RedditHendricks certainly has sufficient power and skill to win a fight for the feet, but he would be foolish if he attempted to engage in prolonged striking exchanges with Wonderboy.

Hendricks' change in appearance and outlook are a testament to the work he's done with Lou Giordano, the weight management expert he's brought in to guide him through the process of changing his lifestyle in order to make reaching the welterweight limit easier, thereby allowing him to continue his career in the division he once ruled.

Now, his name has joined the lengthening list of contenders with a legitimate shot at taking on the 170lbs king, Robbie Lawler.

"I was tagging him, he barely hit me compared to the amount of times I hit him".

The former bantamweight standout is in a tricky spot, having lost to champion Demetrious Johnson twice, but he's continued to prove that he's unmatched amongst the contenders and might be closing in on a third date with "Mighty Mouse".

George W. Bush: From South Carolina cameo to starring role

Light heavyweight Misha Cirkunov (11-2), originally from Latvia now fighting out of Toronto, submitted newcomer Alex Nicholson (6-2) at 1:28 of the second round via neck crank. The bout didn't even make it out the first four minutes. Rosholt is now in the running for the most boring fighter in the UFC.

KJ Noons: Suspended 45 days, no contact for 30 days due to laceration on finger. Thus, this match is going to be interesting to watch. His only loss came in his second appearance in April 2012, via unanimous decision to Matt Brown.

Thompson's victory sent out a huge message to the rest of the Welterweight division, and now 170lbs is starting to once again look like the most competitive division in the company.

Talk about a turnaround.
