Even when commenting on a spectacular KO loss to Anthony Pettis, Thompson just oozes class.

Aljamain Sterling still on the defensive over illegal knee
The fact that this is still an on going thing is comical. Too many “doctors” that think they know what another person has felt, when blindsided, with a full on strike of a knee cap to the head.
