SAN JOSE, Calif. – Former Strikeforce lightweight champion Josh Thomson wants everyone to get one thing straight: he tells it
like it is.
Thomson – who has recently been openly critical of the media’s
interpretation of the world lightweight rankings – likely earned a
return shot at current champion Gilbert Melendez with his decision win
over Gesias “JZ” Cavalcante at Saturday night’s Showtime-broadcast
Strikeforce event.
But “The Punk” admits his body is less than ready for the encounter,
especially when Melendez gave him the two toughest fights of his career.
