Former Strikeforce lightweight champion Josh Thomson likes to smile and goof off when he’s fighting. But he can do without his nickname, “The Punk.”
“It’s one of those labels you can grow out of,” Thomson recently told MMAjunkie.com Radio.
A more seasoned and mature Thomson faces Pat Healy this Saturday at “Strikeforce and M-1 Global: Fedor vs. Werdum” as he takes his first step to regaining his belt.
