I suppose this fight is fine for a bounceback fight for Nate, however Thomson has come out pretty flat in his past few outings, especially the Kawajiri and JZ bouts.
I'd have preferred Nate get a bout with Pettis, Masvidal, Varner, dos Anjos or Lauzon.
This should be a solid, entertaining fight, but I see Josh's grappling not being enough to really push Nate.
