Josh Thomson on 2-3 weeks notice is still better than anything Kawajiri brings to the table.

True story.

We'll see on NYE.

Don’t forget, JZ was robbed in his fight against Thomson.

Honestly, a Thomson/Melendez rubber match sounds good.

And I like the fact that he’s taking the fight on short notice — pretty ballsy. If Thomson beats up on Kawajiri, I’d say he’s just one more fight in Strikeforce away from another shot at the title. Maybe he should fight Billy Evangelista next?

Kinda funny that he’s taking life advice from Koscheck.

On an unrelated note, I’m baffled that Overeem is still booked to fight TBA. Somebody throw me a freakin’ bone here. Give the man a target!

Reem is supposed to be fighting Lashley

But Lashley recently backed out, so now nobody really knows.

Argh, that totally sucks.

Hmm.

Maybe they’ll surprise everyone and it’ll be Fedor.

While I’m wishing, I’d also like a pony.

Thomson doesn’t need to win another fight.
If he beats Kawajiri he should fight Melendez next.

Him and fancy pants have been calling each other out on twitter the last few days.

by fitefan on Dec 20, 2010 2:28 PM EST up reply actions  

Because he is an American fighting in Japan

I’ll be rooting for him.

Gonna be a sick fight

Don’t know if it will be as good as Alvarez vs Kawajiri or Thomson vs Melendez 2. But I’m sure it will be a hell of a fight.

For some reason I don't care much for Josh Thomson.

don’t really have a legit reason, just somethin about him.

"In this fight, Anderson showed he was human," Nogueira said. "He showed he could be weak. But he showed he is a fighter and he brings something from his heart. It was beautiful."

Maybe its because he’s a neo-conservative Republican?

You know what....

….One less promotion means less MMA for us fans. They need ratings and they need our help, I’m tuning in. Even if the fights aren’t that good for this card, I’d like to see MMA survive in Japan so I’m down to help and tune in. Hopefully this helps them and turns Japanese MMA around.
