Josh Thomson's Bellator debut has been officially announced. The former Strikeforce champion and UFC veteran will first step in to the Bellator cage at Bellator MMA: Dynamite, Saturday, September 19 live on Spike.
The 36 year old Thomson (20-8) is a 12 year veteran of the sport, and is one of the pioneers of the Lightweight division in the United States. He has competed in Pride and the UFC, but is probably best known for his Strikeforce run. There, he went 10-3, including a run as Lightweight champion, and an epic trilogy against Gilbert Melendez.
