Stephen Thompson is going to face Kevin Holland next inside the octagon
After stepping away from the octagon for a year, Stephen Thompson will return on December 4 at UFC fight night. Wonderboy will compete in the evening’s main event alongside Kevin Holland, who will be returning to the Octagon after announcing his retirement earlier at UFC 279.
Holland declared his retirement from the sport following his UFC 279 loss to Khamzat Chimaev in the opening round this past September but later announced his return through a post on Instagram containing a photoshopped pic of him and Dana white captioning “Never left boss”.
Thompson hasn’t competed since falling to Belal Muhammad at UFC Vegas 45 in December. That was his second setback in a row; he had lost against Gilbert Burns, a 39-year-old man, before. Come December, Thompson, and Holland would both be looking for a victory to restart their fighting careers.
