UFC Fighter challenges bodybuilder and Karate black belt to kicking challenge with surprising results

UFC veteran and kickboxing black belt Stephen ‘Wonderboy’ Thompson invited his friends to a kicking challenge which was shown on his Youtube channel. His one friend was a bodybuilder whilst the other was an experienced black belt.

The challenges included factors based on height, accuracy, flying kicks, flexibility and other variables. Surprisingly, the bodybuilder performed quite well and proved the benefits of being athletic. However, it was the Karate black belt who understandably did well. Unsurprisingly whilst the bodybuilder was fairly accurate, his power looked significantly less than the two black belts and his speed wasn’t as quick either. Overall it was a fun exercise that didn’t take itself too seriously.
