After coming up short to Ben Henderson in a split decision victory, that many feel that he won, Josh Thomson has not come out and said that he is retiring, but he has hinted towards it. At the post-fight conference Josh Thomson said that he will need to think about things before proceeding with the rest of his career. Josh Thomson stated that "this may be it" when referring to his loss to Benson Henderson.
I feel that Thomson may still be able to make a run for the title, but only if he wants to. Sure he is 35-years-old, but Randy Couture win the UFC Heavyweight Championship for the third time at the age of 43? Thomson is a spectacular fighter with all the tools to get to the top. Thomson just needs to press forward with his career despite his disputable loss to the former champion on Saturday. Thomson just needs another impressive dominate win such as the one over Nate Diaz to elevate him back to the top.
