After facing some adversity in Round 1, Stephen Thompson, in his retirement fight, outstrikes a younger but slower Charles Radtke and takes him out with a spinning wheel kick. It, like Robbie Lawler’s UFC 290 win over Niko Price, is one of those rare instances in which a veteran truly goes out with a bang. “What a way to end a career”, Joe Rogan exclaims before a teary farewell.
