Not sure exactly how old this is but it was posted in 2007.

If that was an MMA fight... Thomson would have won by being on top right?

Thanks!

Awesome!!! Two guys that are perfect for a sub only match. Phone Post 3.0

Great find OP. Diaz won but that was a pretty even match imo. Surely they're both much different grapplers today, but what I see is Thomson in top position quite often, add in some strikes to that and I could see him stealing this fight from Diaz.

i saw rani yahya beat gilbert melendez by points very quickly in 2006
