Josh Thomson appreciation thread

[bjpenngoat]

no not for his podcast with big john which is very good btw. He was absolutely ROBBED against Benson and Green. His record would look so much better with a benson win at that time. He was a really good fighter. His first fight with Gilbert was amazing.

 

[Credo]

Agreed.

inb4 Yves Edwards kick.

 

[USA!USA!]

Yeah he was a very good fighter.

 

[Superman Elbow]

Much appreciate

 

[KID Yamamoto]

I will never NOT be angry.

 

[TheMessiah]

I agree. Very underrated, loved watching him in strikeforce too

Best woman noise fighter

 

[Street Bishop]

That robbery vs Benson basically killed all his momentum in the ufc

 

[GIBLERTBAPTISTA]

Underrated fighter, career marred by injuries. Thomson's 2nd fight vs Gil is one of my all time favourites

C'mon TS, you can't make an appreciation thread about a fighter then misspell his name!

Great fighter. His TKO victory over Nate Diaz was vicious.

I agree about his fight with Bendo; I thought Josh should've won that, and it's all the more impressive he fought that well with broken hands. As for his fight with Green, I don't know. I have to rewatch it again, but I remember thinking it was a pick'em.

He did have a great career, though. It's a shame so much of it happened outside the UFC, because he had the looks and charisma of a guy who could've been a mainstream star.

Terrible announcer but he was a great fighter. Always enjoyed his fights with Gilbert and he has the best performance against Nate Diaz of anyone at 155.

Him and big John the is the most clunky and awkward team. They make Robin Black sound cool.

 

[Mesos]

Anyone have that drawing of him and the ring lady that kept groping him lol

 

[Black Blood]

Great fight but came of age just a little too early. Injuries really hampered his career too

Maybe you can start with getting his name right. I think he'd appreciate that.

That's what I was thinking.
