UFC lightweight Josh Thomson was leaning toward retirement following a split-decision loss to Benson Henderson at UFC on FOX 10, but very recently had a change of heart about his future. Thomson, 35, was fired up when he read that his three-time opponent, Gilbert Melendez, is set to coach “The Ultimate Fighter 20″ opposite lightweight champ Anthony Pettis in advance of a title shot later this year. Thomson (20-6 MMA, 3-2 UFC) thinks he should have gotten Melendez’s opportunity, and now he wants to return to the cage to show the UFC why. “It made me kind of sick to my stomach,” he told MMAjunkie Radio.
