Thomson will be looking for vengeance over Edwards who previously defeated him at UFC 49 “Unfinished Business” by a highlight reel first round head kick.

The way thompson is fighting I dont think anyone outside of the UFC is gonna get him. Of course Yves does have that highlight reel KO of Thompson but that was when he was much yougner and immature as a fighter. He has improved a whole lot and I see him winning this fight pretty decisevly.
