Joking about pettis' super man punch proves that you are not afraid to mention your losses.
Great behaviour
Great athlete
Great martial artist
One of my favourite ever
Emanuele Cerrone he's the evolution to sage northcutt
@@C_The_Guy that would be so cool if WB mentored sage, it could be exactly what he needs to turn him into a contender
Nice jane doe pic
He’s literally the goat for low key flaming himself I love this dude so much
@@enjoijoshua6042 Someone knows what good music is
“Or get Superman punched boohoo” Still taking the KO well,gotta love this dude.
@Toussaint Louverture he was definetly,
Wonderboy wins 9 out of 10 fights against pettis i think.
The best fighter doesnt always win though, thats the game
@@goofverdinus165 yeah that unpredictability is what makes it more exciting in my opinion
People forget how Wonderboy outclassed and kinda made Masvidal look like a fool 2 fights ago dropping him with a body kick etc. Wonderboy can still win against most of these cats
Plus he also took out Rory MacDonald and starched Johny Hendricks back when he was still scary. Not to mention the draw against Woodley, guy couldn't have been closer to becoming champ.
Sarcastic Genius wait, he took out RORY?
Sarcastic Genius Rory “I will take your health” Macdonald?
@Hue Wong More of a 5 round outclassing. I don't ever remember Rory being seriously hurt, but he was getting his nose busted up and not really landing anything in response.
H his only ‘true, no doubt’ loss was Pettis
1:50 Your left hand, You got me bro.
Man everyone needs to appreciate wonderboy alot more
I used to. He's just really struggled recently
"I've never kicked someone full power" proceeds to kick the pad with the velocity of a 12 gauge
That's not even his full power hahaha
thank you brother, and thank you for emphasizing that it isn't a matter of power when throwing this kick
Yellow
You got it my friend 👍🏻👊🏼! Not sure how we could make it happen but would love to collab in the future! I’m a huge fan of your content. Keep it up brotha!
@@WonderboyMMA Haha, thank you brother that's humbling & I'd love to work with you, I'll drop you a message on you Instagram?
@@MindSmashReal YESSSSS please do!!!
@@WonderboyMMA aw hell yeah, this would be a sick collab, MindSmash and Wonderboy...Wondersmash. I hope this happens.
Wonder boy is the real Captain America.
Sam The Sham and?
Nah Dick Winters is ... but Wonderboy is a great example of a true martial artist ...
Can we get a whole series on the punctuation strikes. Question mark kick, Exclamation mark elbow, the comma foot sweep, the parentheses punch and the always effective semi colon knee to the colon.
Lol. Yes!
+McBain 😂😂😂 I need a whole series just on grammar strikes!!!
Why hasn't someone hired Wonderboy to work for TV ? He has a good personality, a lot of charisma and he's very articulated to speak in front of a camera, everything needed to host some kind of TV show or even being part of UFC's broadcast team, especially since he's a long time striking specialist and he must have a lot of fighting knowledge
Josue Covarrubias pretty sure he will as soon as he stops fighting! I’m still hoping he makes another run though!
He should go to acting school and start an acting career
@@lithium457 For real man, I love this dude, hes wholesome. Excellent fighter, human being, unfortunate that Woodley, his kryptonite was the champion at the time of his last run
cuz he's black.
@@AlStyxx he should've won against woodley. Shit judges
Please go on the Joe Rogan podcast wonderboy 😭 that would be an awesome podcast!
Totslly
Jose Rivera That’d be fucking amazing.
Yes
Why would that be amazing. He’d be calling joe sir the whole time. Thompson has a Boeing personality and is a
Boring fighter
Would love to see some Training videos with Joe Rogan and Wonderboy actually
Is it me or is everyone is the Thompson family super cool?
Great family
Robert Downy idk if I would say “super” racist
@Robert Downy any proof there?
Robert Downy how do you know there racist?
They Christians
Wtf...that speed and snap is amazing.
"or get superman punched" lol ....man You were doing so good in that fight Wonderboy..cant wait to see you back in there!
He was beating petis
Can’t wait for Wonderboy to make a successful return.
Some year lol
Win or lose this man successful
Well hes getting older close to 40...nevertheless hes had a great career
I’m here after he did lol
Too bad Rhonda didn't have this attitude after her losses. Wonderboy Legend
Had DOUBLE HIP REPLACEMENT SURGERY in May 2020 at 32 years old. Just started kickboxing in January to get back in shape. THANK YOU for making these videos! Getting my life back!
How can you not love this guy? One of my all-time faves. Was a blast watching him in Vegas. Kick was beautifully executed.
“They *question* why they dropped their hands!”
“Or they get superman punched.”
*cries*
ThanosDowneyJr boiiiii
"Power isn't super important for this kick." Proceeds to kick the shit out of the pad. 😅
it's insane, for being such a hard kick he's a freakin ninja w it. Then again, he is a UFC fighter 😂
I was thinking the same thing lmao
This guy is so chill and informative. It's awesome he's willing to share insight with the fans. Thank you Wonderboy!
Great video as always Wonderboy. Indeed the question mark kick is one of the deadliest kicking techniques to do. Also Adesanya uses that kick very well in his fights should look it up! 🤙🏼
like nobody's seen it 😂
L u k z o r yeah but I doubt most people have seen it other than inside of the UFC. In kickboxing, earlier fights in MMA etc
Look up Lerdsila and saenchai, great practitioners of that kick, they have dozens and dozens of KOs using it.
SiIverBacks and Shevchenko too
IIRC stephen has talked about moving up to MW. Imagine him vs Adesanya.
Loved the systematic coaching and the brotherhood. You've got a new fan. Thank you for the content! 🙏🏼
My favorite fighter!!
This is probably the best question mark kick video I’ve seen. Please keep them coming, Wonderboy!!!
This was actually a really good tutorial. I've been trying ti learn this kick for a while but no other tutorial has explained it as clearly as this and now i can actually do it. Thanks
Absolutely made for this platform! Humble af, dad humour, high tier martial arts tips, engaging and just a fucking beast in the octagon!!! Keep it up my guy, much love from Australia
Been waiting for this one. The way you sneak it up and around the shoulder is a thing of beauty
One of my favorite fighters! So glad you’ve got a channel !!
Beautiful kick. Best explaination and breakdown i have seen so far. This looks cleaner that what i have been doing. Will tweak my technique accordingly. I'm grateful you are doing CZcams.
Great synergy from both with easily understood instruction. Love Wonderboy!!
Lovin these videos..You are the reason I came back around to the UFC..such a humble class act and legit one of a kind! Wonderboy fan for life..
That’s a gay reason to watch ufc
@@bwilk1122 His fight style is absolutely anything but gay..mesmerizing is more accurate and he is hands down one of the most humble genuine guys not only in the fight game but in his daily life..so gay reason to watch ufc ummm if that's what u think..u r entitled to ur opinion but I'm entitled to disagree and tell u that ur opinion is dead ass wrong!
Great to see you representing this style of combat. Training in ITF and WTF Taekwondo since I was 4 and also some Kenpo Karate, my Dad is my coach too.
Love these - keep them coming!
I've done this for years, but your follow-through is really great. I'll start practicing with a full follow-through. Thanks!
I’m absolutely in love with all things tricky in the fight game. This kick is a staple!
You the man Wonderboy! Huge fan of your style, massive respect bro!
First video I've seen from your channel, I IMMEDIATELY subscribed
Thanks wonderboy. I tried that at my gym AND I GOT A KNOCKDOWN!!! THIS HELPS SO MUCH
Don't knock people down in training u idiot
@@williamstrom9755 He's the type of guy who Charlie Zelenoffs other people
Thankyou for the lessons on these different types of kicks, I’ll definitely be trying it (once I get more flexible)
One of my favorite fighters to watch. Love the technique
He is awesome I became such a huge fan after the Pettis loss and how he's handled it now he's one of my favorite fighters.
I really like your style and really enjoying all these videos that you are doing for all of us Thank you so much champ!
I really love Stephen's energy. Happiest man alive!
my fav channel would love to hang out with wonderboy irl seems like such a cool dude
One of the most professional and humble athletes out there. Such a great role model!
Great energy, great content!
One of my favorites. Great attitude and exciting fighter. 🦵
Sir you’re one of the most gifted strikers I’ve ever seen just wanted to throw that out there, thanks for the technique.
Keep em coming Big Guy! Love your energy and personality in these videos and general. You are the same guy. Don't ever change that. Wins or losses - or even draws? jk We will always support you. Can't wait to see you back out there!
Awesome work out brother ...great!
Cool to see it broken down like this I can remember how blown away I was seeing Adamir Da Costa doing this kick on grainy video tapes at Kyokushinkai tournaments from the 80's .
I watched that fight over a couple of times.. but only because of how good wonderboy looked, the speed and movement especially was incredible. Cant wait to see him out there again.
Good video taught me something new and also taught me that ur taking the loss u previously had like a man stay strong and u will be back stronger then ever
+THE Studio thank you for the kind words my friend! 🙏🏻🙏🏻
This is awesome!!! Wonderboy you
rock!!
Thank you have never been able to learn this kick, your break down of the mechanics is awesome. I have know learnt how to deliver this kick off of both legs.
Excellent video, thank you very much.
Wonderboy one of my all-time fav fighters in any sport!!
Dude! Evan was at my old RCJ BJJ school in Dallas! Good to see Y'all both out there doing it big! Great video.
Great video great information and he is one of the best kick thrower's in mma today and such a great dude gotta love the wonder boy
Probably my favorite karate technique! Incredibly satisfying to land.
You guys have young minds. That's a good sign!
Hey Wonderboy, I just saw a picture of your ol' man during his fighting days. You are a spitting image him.
These vids are awesome. Much respect.
Gotta love his technique and attitude.
This kick was the key for my first ko! Now you’re teaching it perfectly and I’m already writing down the ya tips
Thanks wonderboy
Beautiful kicks
i wish i was a kid or teeneger and had Wonderboy as a teacher.. Love his arsenal of kicks and how cool he is.. Max and him seem to be real cool dudes
Love kicking its awesomeness love the way you throw your kicks thank you for all you do for us martial artist
Such a good guy...
“Never go full power on head kick, give just enough.”
👏🏻👏🏻 much respect
When is full power never enough though?
Your real life action hero! Much respect
Awesome kick. Thanks Champ!
Thank you brother i will be getting the practice everyday
Tuesday is now my favorite day of the week!!!
Those question mark kicks were just glorious!
One of my favourite kick. So beautiful and lethal.
Amazing, I was just practicing this recently and wondering as to how I could utilize it in my taekwondo matches. Thanks, Thompson!
Great video, loved it. You guys have a great sense of humour too, very entertaining. :D
Was really helpful. Thank you.
The most likeable person/fighter ever. Big fan thanks for the video and keep up your great work buddy ✌🏿
+Yakub Mohamoud thank you my friend!! I appreciate your support! 🙏🏻👊🏼
Thanks wonderboy, nice tutorial !
U are the single most honest and humble ufc fighter. We already know you have got the skill and discipline the question isn’t if it when ur getting the belt. P.S Most entertaining fighter to watch.
Thx. My son just started learning this kick.
Thanks for the tips
These videos are great!
Thanks! I'm gonna work on this next!
Love that technique, thanks Stephen!
Nice work my friend
As an usual very impressed w/your technique and humbleness
Greetings from 🇧🇷🇧🇷
That kick looks really cool and fun to do!!
Lol Evan at the end tho 😂
You two are super happy. I love it. 🧘♂️🤙
awesome. Great technique.
The importance of the foot of the supporting leg turning/pivoting, is really the key to nearly all kicks. Without that, your hips can't do what the need to do.
I love Wonderboy, he’s a legend man
Whuuuut how did i not know about this channel. Wonderboy is awesome
H K
That’s EXACTLY the same reaction I had!!
He’s my favorite fighter!!
My favorite kicking technique. Incredibly effective when set up properly! Dope tutorial Wonderbros
I'm. Not flexible enough my kick is more of a semi colon lol
“You don’t have to throw it full force” still kicks harder than I ever could 😭😂
He's been been training for decades.
That’s a damn beautiful kick right there
The question mark kick is a beautiful kick and Wonderboy form is on point.
This man is a legend
Man I wish I could do this. It looks so incredibly cool.
One of the most respectful UFC fighter of all time Stephen ' Wonderboy ' Thompson. Our blessings are with you that you will win the UFC Welterweight Championship in your career .
Thanks
Coach 🙏🏻
