“Tomorrow I will have surgery on my right knee,” the fighter said. - Nothing serious, meniscus damage. Problems with the medial collateral ligament in the knee, doctors said the injury would heal on its own. I don’t think the injury will keep me out of action for a long time, I hope to resume training soon.”
“Kavanagh wrote that he wants to see me fight Gunnar Nelson? I saw this tweet. We'll probably meet one day, but right now I'm focused on fighting Robbie Lawler or Carlos Condit“Thompson concluded.
