Wonderboy is like 36, yet he has the experience of a 50 year old retired fighter, and the energy of a 21 year old, inspiring

[@hans_du_plessis]

well said, your highness

[@jessjay9645]

And looks 18

[@danieljung7407]

Inspiration!!

[@LSR_30]

He's my role model in life, not in Karate cause i don't know shit but yes Stephen Wonderboy Thompson is the baby 🔥

[@stevenseagull7589]

@Tristian Declan Yeah, nice try. No one will fall into that bullshit anymore.

[@kyburdeshaw235]

It would be my honor to let wonderboy pelt my kids with dodgeballs.

[@NicolaMaxwell]

He can pelt mine too, no probs!!! A true gentleman of the sport except dodgeball 🤣 total legend

Absolutely, go ahead buddy, peg em in the damn head, give em nose bleeds, it would be my honor as well.

Much respect wonderboy. Those are long days with kids and hard MMA training that you make look easy. God Bless.

[@HAJJEM]

He is very talented, training just makes him better

[@hdsg8361]

for some reason he reminds me of the sting ray in nemo

[@moqensen]

Wonderboy has to be the most humble fighter at the top of his UFC game. Top 10 in the world, title shots, millionaire and still picks up kids and trains them in between his training sessions. What a good dude.

[@scrimpy7692]

is he a millionaire?

[@marakalos3838]

@@scrimpy7692 This is a good question, as UFC pay has dropped. I would guess he does some business ventures outside of the UFC possibly, as would I if I were in his position (yet I am not as I'm not a professional martial artist at his skill level nor in his life). Yet I don't remember if he has commented on his financial/economical status either. However he is an instructor so maybe he does well with that as a business?

[@meandab]

@@scrimpy7692 I'd be really surprised if this guy was not worth several million.

Who downvotes wonderboy. Seriously.

One idiot who thinks that they're "edgy" lol.

@Khabib Nurmagomedov no you simpleton, you're is short for you are, and they're is the same (they are), you're thinking of their. Don't attempt to correct grammar if you're not 100% in future... and don't is short for do not by the way (i thought you may appreciate that 👍).

[@davewylie654]

You know what man? I hope my son grows up with your demeanor and level of respect. We try to steer him towards respectful athletes and you are on his radar now. The way you handled the Pettis fight cemented the fact that you are the real deal brother. All the best to you man!!! Thank you for being a role model we as parents approve of

[@KingDomsKingdom85]

I agree with you wholeheartedly, we need more respectful martial artists like this within MMA, also the man he is about giving back to the youth and engaging them the way he did as a kid. I love this guy personally.

[@NWSKiller]

For real man how can you not love this guy. I cant even imagine how it must be if he is upset man. Great guy

[@kr8751]

I love the Father-son coaching relationship. Reminds me of an American version of khabib and his dad.

[@bernadettelee1257]

Love your attitude and passion! I could tell how you love teaching (am a uni professor) 😄. I hope someday you can have a video of what you eat in a day! Thanks! Love you from Seoul, Korea 🇰🇷 ❤

[@KingDomsKingdom85]

Love this guy, he encapsulates everything a martial artist should. If it's possible Stephen then could you do a Q&A on here at some point please? Maybe mention it in one of your videos then we can all write questions within the comment section which you could read then answer in a video. Just an idea anyway mate 🙂

[@WonderboyMMA]

KingDoms Kingdom that’s a great idea my friend! We will have to try and get something like that set up for sure!

[@KingDomsKingdom85]

@@WonderboyMMA i really look forward to it pal 🙂.

[@Tousanx]

how can anyone not be a fan of Stephen WonderBoy Thompson. That fact that he takes time out of his own day to pick up kids, and then train them as well. These kids have the best Sensei. He doesn't have the gold belt yet, but he's got a heart of gold.

I may be a year late, but this video proves why wonderboy is my favorite martial artist ever

Love this guy. True gentlemen of the sport!!!! Big respect to wonderboy!!! He'll make a great mma analyst I reckon...

[@deksarek4875]

the fact that this video has more than 100,000 views and only 45 dislikes says everything about Wonderboy

[@eunicegomez2020]

Absolutely love Wonderboy. Many other fighters are working hard to improve themselves (which is fine) but what sets Wonder apart from everyone else is...he not only has the discipline to do that himself, but he also devotes so much time to the kids that he teaches so unselfishly. Stephen Wonderboy, you are truly a servant of the trade and true ambassador. Been a fan for a long time.

[@m-agirouard3329]

Who the hell would dislike this

[@KingDomsKingdom85]

I know right?! He encapsulates everything a true martial artist SHOULD be, the respect i have for this man is unprecedented both inside and outside of the cage.

[@moss9421]

You should guest star in Cobra Kai Season 3!
