Josh Thomson has sat down on multiple occasions with Bellator MMA president Scott Coker and matchmaker Rich Chou. The talks mainly hinge around the future -- not just for Thomson, but the Bellator promotion.
Coker took over the reins last year and brought in Chou, his former right-hand man with Strikeforce. In the last 15 months, they have worked to lift Bellator to a higher level.
Thomson is a piece of that future as long as he fulfills his end of the bargain. The former Strikeforce lightweight champion came over from the UFC to Bellator last month and was immediately booked against Mike Bronzoulis at Bellator: Dynamite 1 on Saturday in San Jose.
