Stephen Thompson and Travis Kelce is a pairing that UFC fans did not see coming. Both athletes have their own signature hair dyes with the company Rewind. Kelce sports the light brown hair dye, whereas Thompson sports the medium blonde hair dye. A photo of their products side by side created a stir on Reddit. However, users in the comments section kept confusing the Super Bowl winner with the UFC fighter Colby Covington.
Stephen ‘Wonderboy’ Thompson is considered a poster child for the UFC. The fighter has the perfect face and personality for it, as he does not get into any controversy.

Michael ‘Venom’ Page gives his thoughts on a potential fight against Stephen Thompson
Michael ‘Venom’ Page made a blistering start to his UFC career with a win over Kevin Holland. The former Bellator fighter has put all the middleweights in the division on high alert.
In a recent interview with Ariel Helwani on The MMA Hour, he spoke about a potential fight against Stephen Thompson down the line:
“I’ve been hearing this from even before I got into the UFC…what will be a great fight for me and Stephen ‘Wonderboy’ Thompson, will look like a terrible fight for everybody else.”
Take a look at the video (Quotes from 1:27:48):
Michael ‘Veonom’ Page believes that since the pair share such similar fighting styles, the fight will not be as exciting. It will be more like a game of chess.
Stephen Thompson will try to read him, and vice versa, so there will be moments where there’s not a lot of action and Page believes fans will not want that. However, it remains to be seen, who they both fight next since an official announcement has not been made.
