7. Stephen ‘Wonderboy’ Thompson
Coming from a traditional Kenpo karate background, it’s no wonder that Stephen ‘Wonderboy’ Thompson has amazing kicks. Thompson can definitely be considered one of the best fighters in the UFC never to win a title. The American is very much a counter fighter with a style quite similar to Lyoto Machida’s.
One of Thompson’s most effective techniques is his sidekick. He throws it like a jab, upsetting his opponent and jarring them as they try to come forward to attack. ‘Wonderboy’ moves like a point fighter with tremendous effect.
