Fight Night 71: Josh Thomson Frustrated with Current Role in UFC LW Division

To say Josh Thomson is fired up heading into his bout with Tony Ferguson at Fight Night 71 on Wednesday would be an understatement. It would also be one that requires a bit of clarity as well.

The former Strikeforce lightweight champion turned UFC contender is coming off back-to-back split-decision losses that could have very well gone his way.

The Punk came out on the short side of a five-round scrap with Benson Henderson at UFC on Fox 10 back in January 2014, only to follow it up with another razor-thin split on the judges' scorecards against Bobby Green five months later at UFC on Fox 12 in San Jose, California.
