he was smart enough to capitalise on an opportunity the moment it presented itself, dont dismiss his victory. chito was more lucky but he still purposely did what he did so you cant dismiss his victory
See also his video "Not The DRAGON TAIL!!!!" Wonderboy shows how he got swept! To be fair, Wonderboy still won that fight, just embarrassing moment tho, lol.
That Pettis Superman punch actually made me a fan of Wonderboy. Dude got knocked flat and his first reaction when he came to was "what happened?!?" then he was all hugs with Showtime. Talk about a class act in this sport.
Deathskull0001 just because they are healed does not mean his hands are fight ready hands are still fragile after they are healed he needs to condition them once more and he will good be as new👌🏻
I still can’t believe Anthony Pettis caught you with that. You were beating him senseless the whole fight. Then again that’s why I love the UFC because one punch can change it all.
GSP and Wonderboy are both fighters and good representatives of martial arts that we should all try to aspire to be like. They should make an anime or comic with you legendary fighters in it, forget Naruto or Son Goku, I’m a be waiting for a story based on real fighters with real skills!
Front hand super man punch is a great set up for right leg kick. Pettis kept almost landing a right hand but falling short and switching to a superman for extra distance was super smart. If your opponent steps backward off of a feint, definately follow up with a superman to try it out.
A technique I like to use is the lead hand superman punch into a back leg low kick if the superman punch doesn't land you can still score the low kick and the momentum takes your head off the centre line for your opponents counter
I learned a stomping variant of this from the fight smart trav guy. You stomp your foot to the ground instead of kicking the air. Its slower but stronger and I land it in sparring often.
Love ur vids wonderboy! You’ve inspired me to pursue fighting, I haven’t done any official training at all but I’m just at home trying to learn with my heavy bag and online and this helps a lot; thanks!
I'll give this a try when sparring tonight. The terminology you used was confusing to me at first. One of the styles of martial arts I train, Wu Yin Tao and we call the left hand punch the back fist punch and the right hand punch is the front punch when the left leg is forward. This I won't get into the reasons why we do this, but it took me a minute understand what you were talking about when you were saying the back hand and front hand.
I love your channel and I watched your play by play show during the fights 252, lol you have experienced this 'superman' punch, I know you are correct here! 💕
Hey Stephen Thompson great video I hope you don't mind me saying a few points first off GSP used both hands just his jab more but the reason why it was so effective was it could disguise his level changes and chain it together with takedowns and if they thought he was going to takedown he would instead jab
#500. Me computer kept shutting down late July; got a tablet early birthday present! Senseis Wonderboy and SweetTea, making up me homework no poblem! Cheers!
Hey wonderboy, I’d like to know what you think of sugarfoot Cunningham. He is my sensei, and even though he was a lighter weight than you, given your kickboxing background, it’d mean the world if you elaborate on it. We were at the Apex in Vegas this last weekend with Vinc and Sensei Pete. You are awesome. Thank you.
Hey Wonderboy, love your videos! I think you guys need an audio solution to record you voice better. It complicates things but makes for better all around.
I use this in sparring the time, it always tricks my opponent the first few times. I set it up with a teep kick to the stomach then I faint a teep and go for the Superman punch super fast
That will probably sound plain and simple but Thank you, now I know how to throw the superman punch ^^ Keep up the good work, and I'm looking forward to see some tricking tutorials 😂
You should think about competing in Karate Combat. (For those who don’t know, that’s a relatively new pro karate organization that’s really highly funded and announced by Bas Rutten)
I like superman punch with backhand after i kick a couple of times with push kick or something so i try to bait him to lower his hands.but front hand superman i think is too risky and less effective for what you risk.i prefer have a good jab with some headmovement than front hand superman but watever maybe ill try it.it looks fun.wonderboy i started watch more of your fights recently and dude i become bigger and bigger fun.i m better at boxing to be honest but i think your style is very similar with boxing side stance and leg to the side(hard for checking kicks but who cares if your leg isnt there when kick comesxD),in and out movement.beautiful movement man im really jealous of your skills and cardio.propably the most exciting fighter for me right know even if im bigger fun of boxing.keep going man i really enjoy your fightsxD
I always hype you up to one friend, and he used to always say you lost to Pettis, and I'm like he beat you that one out of ten times he would have beaten you. If you fought Pettis ten times you beat him 9 out of 10 times.
The real reason why Petis caught you with this punch is because he pushed of the cage and gained a little bit of extra range, tricking your excellent range control... not my observation I think the weasle pointed it out first... Just saying, something to keep in mind! thanks for the vids
What other fighters have/had success with the SUPERMAN PUNCH?!?!
Brown KO'd Struve with a super powerful superman punch.
Anthony Pettis (I'm sorry but you asked 😥)
Robert whittaker loves to use it.
Travis brown ko struve
matt dwyer KO'd someone with it
Superman punch: *Exists*
Wonderboy: *Anthony Pettis flashbacks*
2:31 "I don't laugh about it by the way"
Sad wonderboy :(
I luv how SWEET T gave us the most complicated explanation to tell us how PETTIS was lucky af 😂
he was smart enough to capitalise on an opportunity the moment it presented itself, dont dismiss his victory.
chito was more lucky but he still purposely did what he did so you cant dismiss his victory
I appreciate the fact you’re humble enough to go over a technique you got KOed with. The way of the martial artist 🙏 👊 🥋

wonderboy, the type of guy to get knocked out by a superman punch then make a video about it.
I`m loving these few "Wonderboy, the type of guy..." jokes, he is really the NMF 😂
That Pettis Superman punch actually made me a fan of Wonderboy. Dude got knocked flat and his first reaction when he came to was "what happened?!?" then he was all hugs with Showtime.
Talk about a class act in this sport.
Seems pretty normal. What else is he going to do? Go to the locker room and get the strap?
@@insanelanegaming5167 Some guys are sore losers
Steph got a fight schedule soon ? It's been a while since you,ve grace the octogon
Yeah since that masvidal vs Diaz card, been a minute.
@@henryvan4501 I think he broke both hands vs. Luque, IDK how many months it takes to fully recover from that
@@bostoys They were fine a month or two ago already.
Ben Scott he did break his hands 💯

1:12 The South Carolina Version of Aladins Magic Carpet! lol
Wonder Boy for president!!
He’s too good for that job
Wonderboy when are you gonna get your next fight man its been a while!
I still can’t believe Anthony Pettis caught you with that. You were beating him senseless the whole fight. Then again that’s why I love the UFC because one punch can change it all.
I don't know what was the better intro... Sweet T as Superman (On a Table) or the intro music. Happy Tuesday my man!
GSP and Wonderboy are both fighters and good representatives of martial arts that we should all try to aspire to be like. They should make an anime or comic with you legendary fighters in it, forget Naruto or Son Goku, I’m a be waiting for a story based on real fighters with real skills!
So you're saying Son Goku is not real?
@@jebotebljad5548 lol
Dafuq you say about Goku? 👀
Somebody say they talked to Goku lately? No time now that he thinks he "an Angel", yeah I got silver hair-dye too PAL. . .
Technique Tuesday! Also bmf vs nmf next!!
Rematch!
That intro was legitimately hilarious
The first little bit that shows without clickjn made me laugh seein big man on the cart.. your truly a whole soul..
A rear low kick is a good follow up to the superman jab, GSP used to use that a lot.
These boys are too good. This some quality TH-cam right here.
The dislikes are from Tito Ortiz
O dislikes as of now
I don't see dislikes.
just 1 so far
that vato probably watching with his phone upside down
Can't get enough of your work mate, this is just awesome!
Your the man wonderboy keep the vids comin
Wonderboy out here killin the game can’t wait to see you in the octagon again, much love from Wichita, Kansas
The one dislike is just someone who can't find their glasses. I'm sorry bud I hope you find those spectacles 🙏

Love ur vids wonderboy! You’ve inspired me to pursue fighting, I haven’t done any official training at all but I’m just at home trying to learn with my heavy bag and online and this helps a lot; thanks!
Haha nice vid Wonderboy! Huge fan here! Could you do a vid on your post-workout stretch routine please? thank you!
Nicola Maxwell oh I only saw the pre workout one but I couldn’t find a post workout one😅

Damn WB your gym is looking damn good. The ring, the octagon. Gym goals.
Wonderboy please fight again
thanks guys. You nailed it as ALWAYS 💯‼️
Great video as always thank you for this guys
When will we get to see you inside the octagon? Please come back
I love your channel and I watched your play by play show during the fights 252, lol you have experienced this 'superman' punch, I know you are correct here! 💕
Hey Stephen Thompson great video I hope you don't mind me saying a few points

I want to see wonderboy fighting again!!
Wonderboy is the men joking about his own ko I see him improving
Just the time I wanted this video 😍❤️
Wonderboy is the goat
Great video as usual, brother. You're an inspiration to me. 👍
Hi mate just wondering at what age you started conditioning your shins
Hey wonderboy, I’d like to know what you think of sugarfoot Cunningham. He is my sensei, and even though he was a lighter weight than you, given your kickboxing background, it’d mean the world if you elaborate on it.

What up people
Stephen this is a banger of a video
Waaaooo sweet T can fly.
Great content 👍
I use this in sparring the time, it always tricks my opponent the first few times. I set it up with a teep kick to the stomach then I faint a teep and go for the Superman punch super fast
Would love to see an in depth explanation of how to effectively land punches to the body while taking as little damage as possible
Love you guys. So funny! 😂
Wonderboy Vs Usman for the WW Title. Lets go!!!!
That intro! You fools make me laugh so darn hard.
So like what is his hip thrust weight. How much weight can he move with his legs I need to know
Is that Don Frye vs Yoshihiro Takayama you're reenacting in the intro?
We can we see you back in the octagon?
Wonderboy > Superman
Literally my favorite dude in the UFC. Love all the jokes about getting ko'd😂😂🤣🤣
Patiently waiting to not be ill again so i can go back to training and use this channel to try out new stuff lol
I like the ninjutsu version of this punch
i ALWAys throw the 1.2 superman punch and if i miss I make sure I can fallow with a kick because I am back in stance
That will probably sound plain and simple but
Thank you, now I know how to throw the superman punch ^^
Keep up the good work, and I'm looking forward to see some tricking tutorials 😂
1:14 Not just a team, it's a family.
Wonderboy versus Pettis had one of my least favorite final outcomes of all time ☹️
When are you fighting again!!
I wish it was you Vs RDA. That would have been fun
Sweet Teeeeeeee
One of my dreams is to get to meet you and train with you one day youre in top 3 of my favourite ufc fighters!
The superman punch is one of my favorite moves I hope everything‘s going well for you
When we see Wonderboy in octagon again???
1:13 Sweet T!...my 3 year old got a kick out of that.
Another way to learn easily is to imagine you are taking a step over an imaginary box as you throw with the corresponding hand
You should think about competing in Karate Combat. (For those who don’t know, that’s a relatively new pro karate organization that’s really highly funded and announced by Bas Rutten)
I like to call it the Wonderboy Punch.
I like superman punch with backhand after i kick a couple of times with push kick or something so i try to bait him to lower his hands.but front hand superman i think is too risky and less effective for what you risk.i prefer have a good jab with some headmovement than front hand superman but watever maybe ill try it.it looks fun.wonderboy i started watch more of your fights recently and dude i become bigger and bigger fun.i m better at boxing to be honest but i think your style is very similar with boxing side stance and leg to the side(hard for checking kicks but who cares if your leg isnt there when kick comesxD),in and out movement.beautiful movement man im really jealous of your skills and cardio.propably the most exciting fighter for me right know even if im bigger fun of boxing.keep going man i really enjoy your fightsxD
Great cover art for the video, definitely got me to click with it 👌😂
Anthony Pettis has a pretty good superman punch...just joking don't kick me Wonderboy. Edit: He made the joke himself lol
Pisses me off bc pettis got so lucky lol
@@rlawsondukes2594 Yeah that's all it takes though. One good punch can end a fight.
Rlawson Dukes Not lucky, Pettis set it up perfectly.
@@rlawsondukes2594 nope he capitalized off the situation well
GSP follows it up with a leg kick too
I had several gigglefits watching that.
Can u do another day in a life
What is a wonderboy move?
YEAH BABY
Looks like the guy on the cart was needing a stunt double. Note to the audience don’t try that at home 🤣
you should make a video of what its like fighting a pro ufc fight vs your average joe.
“Skeeeyeeee”!!
Darrin till vs wonderboy 🥺
Doing a sparring session with zabit
Captain planet!! 😂😂👌🌏
is Masvidal avoiding you since you beat him before???
homelander getting ready for season 2
Teach us the calf kick next time boss
👍
Very funny 😂
I always hype you up to one friend, and he used to always say you lost to Pettis, and I'm like he beat you that one out of ten times he would have beaten you. If you fought Pettis ten times you beat him 9 out of 10 times.
The real reason why Petis caught you with this punch is because he pushed of the cage and gained a little bit of extra range, tricking your excellent range control... not my observation I think the weasle pointed it out first... Just saying, something to keep in mind! thanks for the vids
Please fight Maia or Pettis (again)
