UFC Fight Night: Hendricks vs. Thompson
Saturday, February 6th – 10:00 p.m. ET
Las Vegas, Nevada
Johny Hendricks (17-3-0) vs. Stephen Thompson (11-1-0)
Five Round Welterweight Bout
Line: Hendricks -215, Thompson +180
Johny Hendricks and Stephen Thompson meet in a welterweight matchup in Sin City.
Johny Hendricks is an MMA veteran, and the 32-year-old has racked up an impressive career record of 17-3-0. Two of his losses have come within his last four fights, but they were both via split decision.
The former welterweight champion will look to continue his quest for regaining his title against Stephen Thompson, a former kickboxing champion who has not lost in the octagon since 2012.
Over half of Thompson’s victories have come through knockout, and a win over Hendricks would be perhaps the most impressive of his career.
Hendricks lands 3.62 significant strikes per minute at a rate of 46.88 percent. He absorbs nearly the same number at 3.59 and defends these strikes at a 54.8 percent clip.
Hendricks does average a solid 4.44 takedown attempts per 15 minutes with a 48.06 percent accuracy, and successfully defends takedowns at a 61.11 percent rate. Additionally, he has averaged 0.43 submission attempts per 15 minutes.
Thompson has a much longer reach than Hendricks, and lands an impressive 4.68 significant strikes per minute at a 50.42 percent rate. He absorbs far fewer with just 3.04 per minute, and defends such strikes at a 58.37 percent clip.
His takedown average of 1.17 attempted per 15 minutes is far lower, but he has a decent accuracy of 55.56 percent. Thompson also defends takedowns at a 78.26 percent rate, but he has yet to have a submission attempt in his career.
