In a recent interview with the New York Post, UFC fighter Stephen Thompson revealed that his role in Cobra Kai season five was going to be bigger. Thompson is a well-known fighter with 12 UFC wins, but he revealed that due to scheduling issues he had to settle for a smaller role as Sensei Morozov. The fighter also mentioned that he might be back for a sixth season of Cobra Kai. 

That actually, I think, has to do with a lot of the fans knowing that I’m, when you think of karate, especially if you’re an MMA or karate guy, you think of Stephen "Wonderboy" Thompson. They kind of, I guess, annoyed them a little; I don’t know how they did it. I also had a friend of mine that I’d met years ago, and he’s actually one of the stunt choreographers for "Cobra Kai," so he invited me out: me, Tyron Woodley, and some other guys. What was cool was that I was supposed to be one of the main bad guys in it, one of the main bad senseis, but they decided to film the main fight scene during the week I was getting ready for Belal [Muhammad]. I was fighting Belal, so I wasn’t able to do that in a time crunch. They said, "Look, we’ll keep you in a cameo." "Hopefully, we’ll be able to get you back out here for the sixth season."
