Josh Thomson believes the UFC/WEC Merger was a nice way of saying the WEC had failed (via lasvegassun.com)
"They made it sound so great that a company went under. The simple fact of the matter was that the WEC failed and they put it with the UFC to carry it."
"To compare WEC lightweights to Strikeforce and the UFC is not fair because if they were that good, they would have been fighting for the UFC. I think the world of (Jamie) Varner, but I beat Hermes (Franca) and Hermes beat Varner. Varner was the WEC champ for awhile. So, where does that leave us?"

According to mmaweekly.com: "Two weeks after a fractured leg forced the California State Athletic Commission to remove him from a highly anticipated rematch with interim champion Gilbert Melendez, Thomson re-broke the limb in practice." "I was really just playing around, just working on my technique, and this kid, this little blue belt, grabbed a leglock—I was wearing a gi—and I couldn’t slide my leg out," Thomson told MMAWeekly. "He just bellied out on the leglock in the standing position and you just heard the bone go crunch. The hairline fracture turned into an actual break." "Thomson has not forgotten about the Melendez rematch, and says a yet-unannounced Strikeforce card planned for Dec. 19 on Showtime is a possibility." HT: MMAWeekly.com

Thompson may push fight back to Oct. on Junkie Radio (audio)
"Josh Thomson said he hasn't been able to train hard because he's been on crutches for 2 weeks. He's talked to his corner and manager about pushing the fight to Oct. But the way he talked it sounded like he's still planning to fight."

"I thought Gilbert came out and showed everyone that he is an elite fighter in the lightweight division. His power was evident and it showed when he landed that right hand on Damm's chin. There's no question, if I had been healthy it would have been a very difficult fight for me. Melendez is always in great shape, but I saw something in his eyes this fight, that made me think he was on another level. As soon as I get healthy, I'll be ready to give him the rematch he deserves." -- Josh Thomson speaks on last weekend's Gilbert Melendez/Rodrigo Damm interim title bout in a press release
