I love it!
I'm going for Thomson all the way. He is one of the most underrated fighters.

It honestly wasn't even that bad ... Nate was still standing walking around looking completely normal after that "beating". Oh and in no way am I saying I think Diaz won... He clearly lost.

He clearly lost. | What Nate had done to him by Bendo totally fits my definition of "taking a beating", lol.
Also an interesting fact, Diaz's last opponent is going to be Melendez's next and vice versa. That should really help them prepare.

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.

Thomson is really underrated and imo will be a top 10 in no time. Diaz should have his hands full.

Anyone who wants to sig/name bet this fight let me know. Even though it's a ways off. Diaz.
and even though Gil's face looked worse for the wear in him and Thompson's third fight, I thought Gil clearly landed more effective strikes and edged Thompson in the grappling department.
