Following on the heels of one of the biggest events in promotional history, Strikeforce: Melendez vs. Thomson featured the anticipated lightweight showdown between the promotion’s top 155-pounders. Although Melendez was a moderate favorite heading into the fight, Thomson worked an excellent game plan and won a workmanlike Unanimous Decision over Melendez.
