Stephen Thompson and Jorge Masvidal spoke at a fan Q&A today (via MMAjunkie about a potential showdown between the two. The highlights are below:

Thompson on the fight: “(It’s not official) yet, but we want it. We definitely want it, to get together and get out there in the octagon and face off. Obviously, you saw him in his last fight, which I thought he won against Demian Maia. (Masvidal is) a very good striker, and I think it’s going to be fireworks.”

Masvidal on Thompson: “He does things that nobody really in the division does. The karate that he brings and the high level that he brings, it’s only him that does that. I would have to get in special sparring partners, I’d have to get guys that could mimic that and I’d have to prepare for it.”
