Video: Stephen Thompson on Hendricks fight: I don’t look for KO, I just let it happen

“I always prepare myself for a 5 minute war. That gives me confidence. That I know I can go out there and grind it out with these guys. I never go out there looking for the knock out. I just let it happen. I guess with my style I really work on my accuracy and my speed and I just let it happen. If it does I will go out and look for the finish. “
