Josh, you've gained a new fan today with your interview. I really appreciate your fighting spirit and the mentality that you bring to your fights. I've never seen you do an interview, you should do more. Your humbleness is only matched by your ferocity in the cage. You are going to CRUSH Kawajiri, and it is great that he will be crushed by such a noble and respectful fighter such as yourself. Come on up to Fremont, let me buy you a beer

Thomson is a hugely underrated fighter, possibly the most underrated.

[Dreddusa]

Man, Josh may come across as cocky or whatever to a lot of fans but he is really a cool guy. He used to be one of my instructors at AKA and still to this day if I see him at a fight or whatever he takes the time to come up to me, joe nobody/former student, and say hi. To me that says a lot. Josh is an awesome guy.

@secret212000 Actually the UFC made him do Blind date to promote the UFC. He had a girlfriend but they still made him do the show.

Nick diaz was forced to do the show but he declined & they put him on the prelims

@secret212000 I know, I was joking is that not his nick name...the punk? I remember back at Pride shockwave 2004or maybe 2005 I think he went by the name "mega punk" or somthing. i could be wrong. He was on Blind Date? hahaha awesome I gotta see that....you know where I can watch it?

counter the short notice given to Thomson against the injury Kawajiri's comin off of.

Anything shy of Josh coming in w/ the shape & plan he did vs Melendez 1 = a loss. Kawajiri dominated like fighter JZ & lost a controversial dec. to Melendez.
