The nicest fighter in the UFC once cursed out kids for talking during a movie preview

Thompson and Weidman were watching a movie in a movie theater when a group of kids behind them started talking. Even though the movie hadn’t even started, Thompson didn’t want to be disturbed during the preview. The former title contender turned around and started cursing at the kids, telling them to shut up.

“The only time I’ve ever seen him mad was at the movies,” Weidman said on the “Deep Waters” podcast. “There’s a group of kids sitting behind us. And that’s just a preview. “Wonderboy is sitting next to me; we eat popcorn. And he just looks behind him. I look at him like, “Why is he turning around like that?” Behind us is a group of children; they are probably in their twenties. And he’s like, “Shut up! I’m trying to watch it. The guys were like, ‘Bro, it’s a preview.'” He’s like, “I don’t care. You better shut the hell up. He starts cursing. I’m like ‘Wonderboy’ yeah you good man? This is a preview. He doesn’t play games.”

Weidman revealed that both Thompson and his father, Ray, don’t like being interrupted while watching movies.

“He’s obsessed,” Weidman added. “When he’s watching movies, he’s so turned on. And if someone takes him out of it, he loses his mind. And his dad is the same way. They have this movie theater in the house. If you talk during the movie, they just look at you like you’re ruining their life. Like they’re trying to kill you.”
