Alas, all good things must come to an end, and ‘Wonderboy’ is gearing up for what could well be his last walk to the cage with just one fight remaining on his deal.

In a recent interview, Thompson spoke about what he would like for his next outing.

Thompson contemplates final fight on UFC contract

“I’m in talks with the UFC right now, and we’re looking at Madison Square Garden in November,” Thompson said in an interview with Home of Fight. “So, back at MSG. I love fighting at MSG. Spent a lot of time in Long Island, so New York is kind of like my home away from home. But, yeah, that’s kind of what we’re shooting for.

“I don’t have an opponent yet, so we’ll see where that ends up, but that is the plan: Madison Square Garden, November 14th, got to make it happen. I’ve actually got one fight left on my contract. So, yeah, one fight left. We’re looking at November, and we’ll see, man. We’ll see who we get. We’re kind of looking at the roster, trying to find a good fight, good barn burner, if you will, for that card for sure.”

“I don’t know where to look because I don’t know what’s allowed. It’s been a long time since I was out of the top 10, right? So, I don’t know what’s allowed. Like, can I pick somebody above me? It’s been a while, so I’m not really sure what I can touch, what I can’t. So, we’re just looking at the roster right now, something that makes sense.

“I was actually looking at Ponzinibbio, but he just ended up getting knocked out recently. So, that’s a no-go. But we don’t know, man. We don’t know. I figured Ponzinibbio because he’s a striker. He’ll bring the fight, he’s exciting, too, but he ended up getting knocked out, so that’s not going to happen. So, back to the drawing board. We’ll see.”
