When Stephen Thompson declined a possible showdown with Michael 'Venom' Page

During the media interaction before UFC 291 in July, Stephen Thompson was asked for his thoughts regarding the possibility of a fight against Michael 'Venom' Page should the former Bellator MMA fighter make a transition to the UFC in the future.

'Wonderboy' recognized the concept of an intriguing showdown, but to the surprise of many, the former UFC welterweight title contender turned down the proposal for the fight:

"I just became friends with this guy, literally like a few months ago. We hung out for like, a whole weekend. It's like, 'Dude, why do they want me to fight you now?' It's understandable, karate vs. karate, right? It would be a fun match. But he's a good dude, man. I don't wanna say I would wanna fight him at this point because we've grown that relationship now."
