Gotta love when so obscure twitter guy thinks he has the inside scoop on what's going on. Ha! Just another way to get a follower or 2 #troll

Literally just seen that. Either he's trying to keep the illusion that he's fine, or he's really not injured.

I'm just gonna throw this out there... Nate Diaz.
He's probably still close to weight, deserving, and always down for a scrap.
There is the problem of them being teammates, though.

ya, thats definitly not going to happen.

I was joking about BJ, but ya, Nate that's even funnier. Those guys are more than "just" teamates.

Wrong, Thomson goes on to basically admit the injury.
Ariel aluded to it earlier as well.
Thomson is hurt, make no mistake.
He is also going to fight.

RUMOUR: Josh Thomson tears PCL,
out of Melendez fight
.
Brian @FrontRowBrian
---Breaking--- Josh Thomson has suffered a knee injury and his fight with Gilbert Melendez on 5/19 is in jeopardy @Strikeforce
Brian @FrontRowBrian
. @therealpunk, the warrior he is, still wants to fight Gil. Highly unlikely with a Torn PCL
Ariel Helwani @arielhelwani
Latest I was told was he is going to fight through it. RT @GetInfo @arielhelwani any truth to the thompson knee injury rumor?
Brian @FrontRowBrian
Pretty surprising. I was told Thomson has a Torn PCL. Fighting Gilbert Melendez is hard enough... then a bum knee?
Brian @FrontRowBrian
@theCyrildotcom I don't know. Seems like he's going through with it. Maybe it's not that bad

Brian @FrontRowBrian
.@THEREALPUNK ... I have 3 sources on the injury. No need to insult me. I did my homework. All 3 sources lied to me?
Josh Thomson @THEREALPUNK

Brian @FrontRowBrian
.@THEREALPUNK address my questions. You can bash me later. Explain why 3 sources confirmed your knee injury.
Josh Thomson @THEREALPUNK
What fighter doesn't have some sort of injury going into a fight? I'm fighting so peoples sources are jokes just like they're websites.
Brian @FrontRowBrian
So did Punk just confirm the injury?
Josh Thomson @THEREALPUNK
“@ChrisGregoryMMA: @THEREALPUNK So you're not hurt bro!!! You still are fighting?” still fighting bro!
Never does Josh deny the injury.
Lets not pull all Brian's credibility here.
The main stuff he wil report on is stuff without enough sources to put on a site.

Probably had an injury scare, but maybe it wasn't as bad as what they orginally thought. It seems pretty clear that he definitely hurt it though, maybe it was just a bad sprain?

The way i see it, it's a douche move to disclose a fighters possible injury just prior to an important fight.It's an even bigger douche move to claim his fights in jeopardy, to attract web traffic to your site.

He doesnt have a site fyi.
Again, I think Brian falls somewhere between a site and reality.
There is a lot in reality that never is reported, sites report things with multiple hardcore sources.
Brian probably is somewhere in the middle. He doesnt have to confirm his stuff at the level of websites.

Doesn't have a site, isn't what you posted from his twitter/same difference.
Well, since i've heard of him he's put out a bunch of bulls---, that he doesn't have to confirm, even worse.
Anyways, thanx for the heads up, anything that comes from FRB i will always regard as unconfirmed bulls---.

Not really the same thing as a site, he's not going for page hits.
I'm not going to deny there's a lot of bad rumors he puts out there, and he's extremely biased towards some fighters (Sonnen), but sometimes he releases info a lot earlier than everyone else.
A lot of people know almost nothing about him & judge him on only a few bad rumors that they've heard.

That's me, and that's exactly what i'm judging him on, cause that's all i've heard from him. (bad rumors)
