Stephen Thompson lands a kick on Charles Radtke during their welterweight fight at UFC 334 at Madison Square Garden

Stephen “Wonderboy” Thompson wrote his own ending. In the final fight of his career, the 43-year-old former welterweight title challenger knocked out Charles Radtke with a spinning wheel kick at 2:54 of the third round on the UFC 334 prelims at Madison Square Garden on Saturday night.

For a round, it looked like the retirement party might get spoiled. Radtke pressed forward in the first, dragged Thompson down with a double leg and controlled long stretches of the clinch against the fence, edging a close round while the crowd grumbled.

From the second round on, it was all Thompson. Circling on the outside, he picked Radtke apart with single punches, body kicks and blitzing combinations, and late in the round he clipped Radtke and put him down, following with a knee to the body before the horn saved him.

The third was target practice. Thompson landed a heel kick to the face early, kept the pressure on with punches and kicks to the body, then uncorked the wheel kick that made his name. It landed flush, Radtke was badly wobbled, and one more right hand put him down and brought the referee in.

The win snaps a three-fight losing skid and gives Thompson his first victory since December 2022, a highlight-reel finish to close the book on one of the most popular careers in the sport. “I told myself I wasn’t going to cry, man,” Thompson told Joe Rogan in the cage. “I just want to say I love you.”

Caio Borralho punches Yousri Belgaroui during their middleweight fight at UFC 334 at Madison Square Garden

Caio Borralho took the kickboxer’s space away and never gave it back. The Brazilian middleweight shut out former GLORY kickboxing title contender Yousri Belgaroui at UFC 334 on Saturday night, winning a unanimous decision with three identical 30-27 scorecards in the final non-title fight of the main card at Madison Square Garden.

Borralho set the pattern in the first round. After Belgaroui landed an early body kick, Borralho charged in behind punches, dragged him down against the fence and jumped on his back, locking in a body triangle and attacking a neck crank. Belgaroui survived the crank and a later guillotine, but he spent the round defending from underneath.

The second round followed the same script. Belgaroui found moments with knees up the middle, but Borralho kept closing the distance, dragging him to the mat and pinning him in side control against the fence, landing elbows before the horn. In the third, Belgaroui landed his best shots of the fight, including a hard knee to the head, but Borralho answered with a right hand and sealed the round, and the fight, with one more takedown in the final minute.

Borralho’s five takedowns were a career best, and the grappling-heavy performance keeps him stationed in the top five at middleweight at 19-2. Afterward, he said he was done calling out former champion Dricus Du Plessis and instead lobbied for a rematch with Nassourdine Imavov, who handed him a decision loss in September 2025. He has now won back-to-back fights since that defeat.

Belgaroui falls to 11-4 and takes his first loss inside the Octagon, snapping a six-fight winning streak.
