It was revealed today that Thompson will in fact be declining the offer to fight Rakhmonov. In an interview with Cole Shelton, ‘Wonderboy’ revealed the reasons as to why he is not willing to fight Rakhmonov at this time.

I caught up with Stephen Thompson (@WonderboyMMA) today who made it clear he’s not interested in fighting Shavkat Rakhmonov next and explained why that is the case. He also has told the #UFC he won’t be taking the fight. https://t.co/u7ou7JRJSr
