A resident of East Sussex, Англия, Thompson will be making his Bellator MMA debut after 25 career fights amongst the heavyweight division’s elite. “The Spartan,” who solidified himself as “Britain’s Strongest Man” in 2006, is looking to build off an impressive 2015 кампания, in which he emerged victorious in all five of his bouts, including two first round knockouts. Сделав свой профессиональный дебют в 2009, Thompson has fought under the direction of multiple regional promotions, and the UFC. На 36 лет, he will undoubtedly make the most important appearance of his career when he takes center stage in front of thousands of hometown fans in the main event of "Bellator: Лондон” на Июль 16.
