Eight years ago, Thompson “tore every ligament in his left leg” while kickboxing. He had won handfuls of kickboxing titles in the mid-2000s, and once worked with welterweight champion Georges St-Pierre on his striking. But the injury forced him to rethink his career. That’s when MMA came into the picture.

He also has trained with Anderson Silva, Chris Weidman, Georges St-Pierre, Rashad Evans, Nate Marquardt, and Keith Jardine. The hot 32-year-old good looking fighter, seems to be single for the moment.
