James “The Colossus” Thompson Returns

According to MMA Weekly, James Thompson will be stepping back into the cage on Sunday, December 16 for Ultimate Force in the United Kingdom:

“The promotion has secured a headline bout between Tengiz Tedoradze and James Thompson in a rematch of their June 2004 encounter.”

For Thompson, it will be interesting to see how he rebounds from a ten second KO at the hands of Neil Grove at Cage Rage 22 in July. Thompson’s brawling style has been a crowd pleaser for years, but his lack of a signature victory over a top caliber opponent has relegated him to undercard status.

Thompson is also planning to fight for EliteXC sometime in the future.
