Josh Thompson’s life changed after he fought Tony Ferguson

[SalvadorAllende]

Pretty awesome by Josh to be open about it.

 

[Tapioca Cold]

Franklin was still a good fighter and managed to beat Wand twice afterwards--although Wand was past his days as well. Some guys are mildly affected while some never win a fight again.

I purposely don’t provide cliffs if I want people to actually watch the video

Strange, i purposely don't watch videos without cliffs.

Makes it easier to pick those specific points to watch and get the direct quotes from on only the parts I'm interested in hearing.

 

[ExitLUPin]

Brutal honesty from Josh

but the Charles fight did not take "years" off Tonys life WTF. lol he must not remember how that fight went unless hes referring to the armbar that Charles had on Tony b/c he didnt really do much damage otherwise he just outclassed him in grappling. Was nowhere near the kind of beating the Gaethje fight was

Also pressures people to not post interesting videos because they don't want to spend 15 min writing cliffs

"Hey, i found this interesting video. I wonder how others would react to this thing that i already watched and know what the contents are."
"Hey what's this video about?"
"Fuck you."

You can’t read a title?

I really don’t care

Can someone give me cliffs of this post?

Just letting you know about popular other viewpoints. I could write a book about the shit I don't care about either, but I don't care enough... which would actually be chapter 1 of my book.

Doesn't answer the question. You can't read the question?

tl;dr is

Tony's life changed after Gaethje

Such a tired cliche.

 

[Elvis.]

Josh seems like a really good guy , totally honest about his career.
If you know it’s not your night and your just going to get hurt , get the hell outta there . Who cares about what a bunch of slobs who’ve never been in a fight watching on tv think about you

[Dionysian]

Great threat / good video haha

 

[Ogata]

I am not watching their video after they defended Brendan Schaub!

Just cliff so we can move on.

I just recently started listening to this podcast and really enjoy it. I like it when fighters retire and can let that tough guy facade down a little and admit to times they were hurt or felt scared.

I wasn’t very interested in Thompson as a personality when he was fighting, he had a look that made me think he was typical white American college wrestler guy, but he’s a really good communicator and comes across very open and honest. I can’t really deal with big john in this format, but josh is captivating as fuck

Agree damage wise but his confidence took a hit after that fight

Anderson Silva

That was my point. As badly as he beat Franklin, it didn't ruin Rich's career. he still had about 4 decent years left in him. He didn't fall apart like Ferguson or Koscheck. Then again, he wasn't as old and hadn't taken too much damage outside the beatings Lyoto and Anderson gave him.

 

[TitoSchaubHighIQ]

Awesome vid TS, I remember that fight being incredibly bloody. Props to Josh for admitting this, I don't think Koscheck ever recovered after fighting GSP for the title.

I always enjoy listen to Thomsons perspective. He seems very honest and he's very articulated.

About Josh Koscheck, yeah. I believe Koscheck stated himself that he suffered really bad nerve damage and one side of his face had permanent numbness after fighting GSP. That sucks.

Why does everyone Sherdog expect cliffs for everything? Just watch the video or don't.

Maybe I'm in a place where I can't watch video?
