Mixed martial artists are impressed with Stephen Thompson's clean sweep against Geoff Neal at UFC Vegas 17.
The likes of Michael Chandler, Kelvin Gastelum and more took to Twitter and congratulated "Wonderboy" on a masterclass performance against the streaking Neal.
Thompson, on a compromised leg when his whole style depends on movement, is still throwing with bad intentions. Offense as defense, brilliant! #UFCVegas17

A lot of of other fighters would’ve checked out mentally due to the skills of Thompson, Geoff Neal isn’t one of those guys. Fantastic main event tonight. ---- And WB is highly skilled but as we have seen many times before, he’s tough as all get-out as well.
