LIVERPOOL, England – Stephen Thompson would’ve been well within his right not to compete at UFC Fight Night 130 after Darren Till missed weight by a wide margin. According to “Wonderboy,” though, that was never under consideration. “That never went through my head,” Thompson told MMAjunkie today following ceremonial weigh-ins at Echo Arena. “That was up to my managers and the UFC to make things like that happen. I’m focused on the fight, and that’s all I want to worry about.” Related UFC President Dana White to Darren Till: 'You shouldn't be missing weight in your hometown' As of now, the fight between Till (16-0-1 MMA, 4-0-1 UFC) and Thompson (14-2-1 MMA, 9-2-1 UFC) is slated to still serve as the headliner for UFC Fight Night 130 after Till came in 3.5 pounds over the welterweight limit .
