This isn’t just another article about former UFC veteran and current Bellator lightweight Josh “The Punk” Thompson. It’s what the message and reality is for all active fighters. “Smooth” (23-5 MMA) finished his UFC contract in Seoul, Korea against a game Jorge Masvidal. Benson made comments about wanting to retire in the UFC, but made it well known that he’s on the hunt for “greener” pasture. Now, the situation stands for each active UFC fighter. Do you fight in the number 1 organization in the world or do you fight for Bellator? No discredit to the other organizations like WSOF, M-1 global, Cage Warriors fighting, etc, but we know Scott Coker was excited about the possibility of a high profile former champ like “Smooth” who can generate fan interest. The “Punk” shares his thoughts with mmafighting.
