Josh Thomson Says Phone Was Stolen After Tweet Blasting Nick Diaz Appears
By FCF Staff
Although it may have looked like Josh Thomson was keen on fighting Nick Diaz, thanks to a tweet that slammed the highly regarded vet, the former Strikeforce champ says the comment didn’t come from him.
On Saturday, the following post appeared on Thomson’s official Twitter account:
I knocked out your brother, I'll knock ur bitch ass out in San Jose July 26th.Let's do it Bitch, San Jose vs Stockon. Yup, FUCK U NICK DIAZ!

On Sunday, however, Thomson offered this explanation as to why the comments appeared:
People that know me, know I wouldn't ever talk about a fighter like this. My phone was stolen last night while at dinner.

I respect every fighter and especially the Diaz brothers. @NateDiaz209 an @nickdiaz209 always been cool guys to me and nothing bad to say

Thomson stopped Nate Diaz at UFC on FOX 7 last April, before dropping a tightly contested, split decision loss to former lightweight champ Benson Henderson in January.
