Convidado Mena I Postado April 30, 2008 Nick Thompson returns for Sengoku III by Dann Stupp and Bruce "PhyteGuru" Huckfeldt on Apr 30, 2008 at 11:06 am ET Nick Thompson acabada de confirmar que lutará no Sengoku III, que acontecerá no próximo dia 8 de junho, no Saitama Super Arena, no Japão. Ele é o atual campeão dos leves no praticamente extinto BodogFight, e vem de vitória por decisão unânime sobre Fabrício Monteiro, lutador brasileiro veterano do DEEP, no Sengoku I, mês passado. Thompson também havia vencido por submission a John Troyer, no BodogFight em fevereiro. Ele disse estar em ótima forma para lutar no evento: "Meu peso está um pouco acima do que eu gostaria, mas estou em grande forma, fora isso". Nick "The Goat" Thompson (35-9-1) will put his 11-fight win streak on the line when he returns to action at "Sengoku III," World Victory Road's June 8 show. Thompson confirmed the bout with MMAjunkie.com (www.mmajunkie.com) when reached by email but stated that an opponent hasn't been finalized. Sengoku III takes place at the Saitama Super Arena in Saitama, Japan. Thompson, the reigning welterweight champion of the all-but-defunct BodogFIGHT organization, fought for the first Sengoku show in March and defeated DEEP veteran Fabricio Monteiro via unanimous decision. The win came just a month after a first-round submission victory over John Troyer at a February BodogFIGHT event. He said he's in solid shape for his upcoming fight. "My weight is a little higher than I would like, but I am in great shape otherwise," Thompson said. "I had trouble shaking a few nagging injuries while prepping for my last few fights, so this is the healthiest I have been in quite a while, though there are still five weeks of hard training." Thompson's current win streak began after an April 2006 loss to Karo Parisyan at UFC 59. Thompson owns a 1-1 career record in the organization. Sengoku III is expected to be headlined by highly ranked lightweight Takanori Gomi, though his opponent hasn't been finalized.
