FREE AGENT TRACKER Nick "The Goat" Thompson (38-12) will not be on TUF 11, Signs to Shine Fights Promotion. Thompson hoped to make the TUF 11 roster and participated in tryouts but it appears he was not a final selection. Too much experience? He has personality. He's only 28 years old. Maybe because he stunk at middleweight in Strikeforce/Sengoku and he should only fight lower in weight at 170lbs. The Shine deal is said to be an "exclusive" one.. bringing about the question.. where is Shine Fight's deep pockets coming from? Who are these guys?! Oddly all the big names they've supposedly signed, no fight date or matchups have been announced. Other free agent names signed by Shine are Jeff Monson, Din Thomas, Murilo Rua, Luiz Azeredo, Alexander Shlemenko, Eduardo Pamplona, Giva Santana, and former boxing champ Ricardo Mayorga. For a new/small promotion to pull this off out of no where, we'll believe it when we see it. |
