FiveOuncesOfPain.com confirmed the rumored signing with a source close to Thomas early Friday morning.

Thomas, a veteran from the fourth season of The Ultimate Fighter, is 23-8 in a pro career that dates back to 1998. The American Top Team-trained fighter holds notable wins in his career over Dokojonosuke Mishima, Jens Pulver, Matt Serra, and Clay Guida.

Competing nine times under the UFC banner, Thomas holds a lifetime record of 5-4 while competing inside of the Octagon. Thomas’ most recent bout took place on Feb. 7 for a promotion billing itself as Headhunter Productions. Facing MMA rookie Dustin Pierkin, Thomas submitted the newcomer with a triangle choke at 2:58 of round 1.

No longer a regular competitor at 155 pounds, Thomas is expected to join an Affliction featherweight division that includes L.C. Davis, Bao Quach, Mark Hominick, Deividas Taurosevicius, and Savant Young.

A debut date and a first opponent for Thomas are not yet known.

The combatants are Tyler Bryan and Shaun Parker, both of whom were fighting in their first ever professional fight. Shonie Carter is the referee, and to me, his reaction is the best part of it all.
