Scouting Report: Stephen Thompson UFCOrlando via LevPisarsky
Mostly a one-shot sniper, though he fires short combinations at times.Sometimes he puts a little less steam on them, foregoing power for suddenness and speed.Sheer variety makes them all-time great weapons. He throws a roundhouse with similar properties to his leg kicks, along with a nice side kick with which he can quickly change direction and go upstairs. Thompson also features a fantastic front kick to the stomach that is sneaky, fast and sudden.
He has a bladed karate stance with his hands very low, yet he manages to make up for it with great movement and defensive instincts. The low hands make his punches incredibly difficult to predict or react to. They come from every angle with no telegraph. Though he is a southpaw, he switches stances quite often and is dangerous with any variation of straight punch. Both of his hooks are excellent, too, making it extremely difficult for an opponent to predict where the strikes will come from.
