Fair play to UFC for giving Tompson such a high profile fight, He has only lost to Gil and Crusher and lost to Guida ages ago who also beat Nate.
On Paper you look at Tompsons record and how close his fight with Gil was and he doesnt seem the underdog some UFC fans will see him as.
He beat Franca who beat Diaz too... this is great matchmaking lets see if Diaz has come along enough to beat a real tough vet like Tompson. I was thinking he would get a Maynard rematch but this is far better.
