Nick Thompson posted on the Undeground following his loss to Jake Shields Saturday night when EliteXC crowned their first Welterweight Champion:
There isn't a whole lot I can say about my performance. Losing sucks. And while there is no shame in losing to someone as talented as Jake, I am ashamed of how poorly I performed. That was an embarrassment to myself, my teammates, friends and family. While there is nothing that anyone on here can say that I don't already think, I am going to stay away from the boards for a few weeks. I already feel low and don't feel like being kicked while down. All I can tell you is that I am going to go home, have a good cry and then take a few weeks to spend with my wife. After that, I will get back to the gym and begin working to improve myself as a fighter. I used my last loss as motivation to turn my career around and redefine myself as a fighter. I expect nothing less from this experience.
