Thomson out of Strikeforce title defence
Josh “The Punk” Thomson broke his leg today in a heavy sparring session with fellow Strikeforce competitor Billy Evangelista. Surgery will be performed on Friday and Thomson is expected to be back this summer to defend his Strikeforce World Lightweight Championship title. Thomson was set to defend the belt against Gilbert “El Nino” Melendez on April 11th and Strikeforce is now searching for a new opponent to meet Melendez on the April 11th main card live television portion of the event on Showtime.
Too bad, was really lookign forward to this fight.
Maybe then can get Rich Clementi?
