Stephen Thompson, who won his fight on the TUF 21 finale against Jake Ellenberger spinning back kick to the face, is seeking his next opponent.
Thompson recently spoke with MMAjunkie.com about who he is eyeing up.
“I would still like to fight Tarec [Saffiedine], and my goal is to get back in shape. I’m not really where I want to be right now,” he said. “I want to be at the top of the game with the belt around my waist, but I’m getting there.”

Thompson still has some waiting to do before he’ll be medically cleared to get back in the octagon. He recently had surgery to repair a torn meniscus in his left knee and also is recovering from a bruised right heel.
