Thompson desires Buckley complete
“I would like to get a submission win,” Thompson stated. “I've just had one submission win, and it was before the UFC. I've been truly dealing with my ground work and ideally we can get one either this battle or the next. There are chances all over, specifically if he attempts to shoot or attempts to take me down. There's things I can attempt to do versus the fence I've been dealing with. Off my back that I've been dealing with.
“But I do not understand. He does have an ego. I seem like he's the kind of guy that believes he can beat you at your own video game. I can kind of lure him down (to the ground). If the knockout takes place, it takes place. If a submission takes place, it takes place. If it does not, it does not. I'm prepared for a 3, five-minute round war.”
