Strikeforce lightweight Josh Thomson's (16-2) broken leg has not completely healed, and his Aug. 15 bout in San Jose, Calif., with interim title holder Gilbert Melendez (15-2) may now be in jeopardy.
Thomson today told MMAjunkie.com Radio that he wasn't able to fully train for the unification bout, and additional sources close to the contest have indicated the organization is actively seeking a replacement for "The Punk."
Should Thomson be forced from the card, it would be the latest hit to "Strikeforce: Carano vs. Cyborg," which has already seen the loss of Joe Riggs and Alistair Overeem due to various ailments (but did receive a nice injection of talent with the addition of "Babalu" Sobral vs. Gegard Mousasi).

Me too. Seriously. Apologies.... I didn't listen to the radio interview, just read the huge ass post on junkies front page. I was seriously bummed reading it, and am glad you are still fighting. I look forward to watching you rule ass!

I guess it's cool for us that you're fighting anyway, but if it's really to the point where you're having trouble training hard, discretion might be the better part of valor. I think everyone wants guys as close to 100% as possible when they fight so there are no questions.
Anyway, good luck, the first fight was great and I imagine Gil will be a tougher opponent this time.

I don't doubt you're a tough guy, but if you go on an interview and say your leg is not totally healed, there's a huge chance the commission is going to say no.
It's like,"I can't see, but I want to keep fighting!"

I was beginning to think this card was cursed if three of four title fights all got scrapped because of injuries.

Have I ever said I couldnt see? LOL Im fighting unless something happens between now an then. knock on wood! Once again, the commission knows that not every fighter fights 100% an i never said it was my leg that put me on crushes. I could of had an ingrown toe nail for fuck sake! LOL People an their assumptions always gets them in trouble.
