This guy does the interview. He’s the worst interviewer ever and it’s so weird how he talks in front of that microphone like he’s hiding something on his lip or something.

[@Induna123]

Surprised he hasn't gone full face mask like Darth Vader.

[@Bruh83737]

Why you gottta eat the mic like that it makes the audio sound so dumb

[@richaquilastokes]

Interviewer guy isn't shouting as much but his hair and mic technique are still oddly terrifying

[@akoreanlife5376]

I want to watch these videos but cant get past what everyone else is saying about the microphone. Its better to just have the logo up and the audio and no video. Please put the mic at an angle and move your head or camera back, the visual is overwhelming.

[@iainmcclure7156]

Nicest man in mma , beats most the division on the feet for sure legend of the game

[@J9227]

Yay more Microphone for breakfast

[@nunyabizwacks6711]

love Wonderboy, cant stand this interviewer

[@jordenreignsaenz7903]

Whoever chose this guy to do interview’s needs to be replaced

[@StackerFactor]

Saying Steven will be champ after age 45 is wild. This guy has more glaze for Steven than a SF nightclub. Come on bro...

[@dnc411]

Guile's flash kick KO

[@sealevel1919]

“I’m a great gatekeeper”

[@jakesowers3511]

Love ST, but wish he’d change his name from Wonderboy. Dude is 42. Stephen “Superman” Thompson

[@Bryan-gy3gu]

Dumb.

[@Cr0wsMurd3r]

I generally do not like Belals fighting... but I thought he was good enough to get a title fight several years ago. Instead they gave Colby a second shot, and then Masvidal a second shot, and Colby a third etc. But I am ready to see if Belal becomes a champ one wants to see fight. One that brings the fight and not just wrestlefucks guys or push em against the fence for most of five rounds. The worst kinda fight to watch is one where you can start looking at your phone for three minutes and then look up at the TV and see that nothing has changed, still grinding against the fence with no ground and pound or subs on the way. ( Which is why Colby is the worst)

[@J9227]

This guy says “Chyuhh” all day.

[@matthewchalk6855]

Love your interviews but pls fix mic issue. Your way too close

[@dustinkilburn]

Really wonder how much his golden retriever personality and pure good soul reduced his amount of finishes....

[@egraham5718]

Take the jelly beans out of your mouth bro!

[@LaChonklin]

So much for watching an interview with one of my favorite fighters… thanks Damon 🤦🏽‍♂️

[@marcossandoval7471]

Perfect way to start my morning 🙏🏾

[@Dan-iy2nr]

i dont know how hes still ranked he fights once every 10 years

[@FcknHassan]

i had to stop listening before 2 minutes because the audio from the interviewer is painful

[@qazaq2197]

Respect to Stephen, the best fighter in the UFC👍🏻

[@puckduckman]

about a fist away

[@myhaikaratesmellstillrocks6823]

Wonderboy by Karate Kid Crane Kick KO.

[@XUltimatomX]

Wtf is this dollar store microphone

[@PillageMontage]

Dude is 41 and still hasn’t fought in over a year. Call it quits dog you have no grappling and can’t compete with the top 5. WB is awesome but dude, you need to fight and frequently and the guy fights once a year at most. No grappling = only beats strikers. Lost to Belal which is plain haram lmao

[@MainStreamRegimeDemocrats]

He deserves to pick and choose his fights at this point of his career. He shouldnt be fighting the best guys

[@PillageMontage]

@@MainStreamRegimeDemocrats he doesn’t deserve to call any shots really. He’s 2-3 in his last 5 and is fighting Joaquin Buckley. A huge fall from grace for wonderboy. This matchup embarrassing for WB tbh

[@MainStreamRegimeDemocrats]

@@PillageMontage Of course he does. Former stars who are in the twilight of their careers, who arent chasing the belt any longer, who stepped up and fought absolutely any and all opponents, deserve to fight the guys they want. Wonderboy was awesome in his prime.

[@PillageMontage]

@@MainStreamRegimeDemocrats He was great but he couldn’t beat the greats. His best win was against Rory Macdonald in 2016 and looked good against Luque which aged horribly as WB is now fighting the guy Vincente lost to. WB calls zero shots, sorry to tell ya. Dana lost faith in him after the second Woolley fight and I can’t blame him tbh

[@blacksheepganggeneralbattl662]

His career was over after the second woodley fight. Kevin holland was just a bandaid for his fans

[@bLyyy1]

oh this old guy fight again? :)

[@Muhammed-Muhammed]

"In Upstate Karate we (me and my dad) turn girls into women", - says Stephen Wonderboy Thompson at the end of this interview. Covington's alligations prooved to be right. 🤣🤣🤣

[@nikontruth4227]

These microphone comments got me cracking up 😂

[@markmessi9020]

Dude these guys are genuine buds. I almost wanna go back and fine their earlier interviews! Time to start snooping around 😂

[@SmithMGLV]

Shavkat is going to kill belal good try convincing the fans though

[@kaiserchill]

Wonderboy has that Goku mentality of "That guys tough, i need to see how I'd do against him." and honestly i wish there were more people like him. Absolute champion of a man

[@Mandoop8]

More Damon is always the correct amount of Damon

[@Drquifer]

Next time say. I need sugar water.

[@matthewaldrich69420]

Chanel fell of when Ariel left

[@gerkeane5164]

Great interview 👍
