Stephen Thompson was having success on the feet against Joaquin Buckley, looking to get back on track after losing three of his past four at Saturday night’s UFC 307, but Buckley has the last laugh with a monster right hook that knocked him unconscious midway through rounds three in Salt Lake City (watch the finish).

Now down to 1-4 since 2021 — and 4-7-1 since challenging for UFC gold in 2016 —, “Wonderboy” took on social media to thanks the support of fans. In good spirits, the 41-year-old veteran also joked about not remembering how he got back to the hotel after such a vicious knockout.

“Not much to say other than I sincerely appreciate all of the love and support I felt from the fans tonight and always the love you’ve shown me really fills my heart,” Thompson wrote on the post. “The roar of the crowd as I walked out to the cage and my name was announced is something I’ll cherish forever. I’m sorry I didn’t get it done tonight. Much love to you all and much love to SLC.”
