                    <p>UFC lightweight champion Anthony Pettis fights Gilbert Melendez following a stint as opposing&nbsp;coaches on The Ultimate Fighter. UFC lightweight contender Josh &quot;The Punk&quot; Thomson is recovering from hand surgery for injuries sustained during a title shot vs. then champ Benson Henderson in Jan.</p>

However, although a fight between the pair is not imminent, the two never the less got in a Twitter bicker last night.

@Showtimepettis he is hiding from @THEREALPUNK thats what's up.

Anthony Pettis @Showtimepettis
@ItsNorms @THEREALPUNK for sure I hate getting paid!!! Lol

Josh Thomson @THEREALPUNK
@Showtimepettis @ItsNorms i'll see ya soon lil guy.

Anthony Pettis @Showtimepettis
@THEREALPUNK when I come back running thru the whole top ten, hopefully ur still around!

Josh Thomson @THEREALPUNK
@Showtimepettis I like you, but you had your chance to fight me and you pulled out. So don't act tough now behind your keyboard kid.

TAP NAP SNAP ‏@Tap_Nap_Snap 
@THEREALPUNK @Showtimepettis Whatever happened to the days of shut up and fight? We as MMA fans miss the older schooled fighters!

Josh Thomson ‏@THEREALPUNK  19h
@Tap_Nap_Snap @Showtimepettis because NO ONE cared about mma before the Fertitta's bought the #ufc

TAP NAP SNAP ‏@Tap_Nap_Snap  17h
@THEREALPUNK @Showtimepettis Not entirely true. #noholdsbarred was the shit. Eventually the top guys will fight each other #notalkneeded

?So what do you think UG? Is pre fight trash talk on Twitter a necessary part of the landscape now?

Henderson wasn't the champ when they fought and it sure as hell wasn't a title fight Phone Post 3.0

Something is wrong when a champion is called a keyboard warrior..

15

Did my post really get deleted? Holy shit. Somebody asked who wrote the article because Henderson wasn't the champ when he fought Thompson and I replied that the UG Blog is never wrong and it was Zuffa that was wrong by not advertising it correctly. IT'S A JOKE! Why would you delete my post and the person that asked? Phone Post 3.0

Ok, you didn't delete the question, but my post? Phone Post 3.0

Pettis is on the sideline quite a bit with injuries. What else should be called if he's arguing on twitter more than he's fighting? Phone Post 3.0
