Former title challenger Stephen Thompson suffered a split decision loss to Gabriel Bonfim in the co-main event of UFC Nashville on Saturday. It was an extremely close fight, but most of the MMA community thought that Thompson should have walked out with a win as he landed more damaging shots, while Bonfim didn't do much when he landed a takedown. During the second round, Thompson suffered a serious cut to his shin after checking a kick, which left him needing stitches, but Thompson kept on going and kicking Bonfim with that shin. In 15 minutes of action, Thompson landed 42 significant strikes. With the loss, Thompson has dropped to 17-9-1 as a pro and is now 12-9-1 in the UFC.--Alen Kurbasic
