Benson Henderson or Will Brooks could be worthy replacements. AKA needs to be dissolved or something.

lol, didn't Luke Rockhold just write an article about how AKA doesn't deserve it's bad rep? smh

That's just because he's stuck on himself and doesn't realize that he's the only one of their stars that has remained healthy over the last few years.

ben said he wants to fight again right away
Oh wait, didn't realize this is 2 weeks from now. There's no way Benson fighting again in 2 weeks. That's way too soon, I mean he just got mauled by a Russian assassin for 5 rounds, you can't just throw him in another tough fight with only 3 weeks in between.

I doubt that Coker would offer it to Brooks. The last thing that he wants to see is Chandler losing to Brooks for a 3rd time and then Brooks leaving for the UFC.

teamquestnorth @teamquestnorth could also be a worthy replacement. He has a big name in the mma community, it's a win-win for everyone involved. Chandler gets a worthy opponent and a big money fight, teamquestnorth gets a tune-up fight before his bout with Psychotropic Wanderlust @Psychotropic Wanderlust and Bellator keeps Chandler on the card.

Coker would have to ask Wild @Wild for permission though, but I doubt there'd be any objections.

this is not necesarily a disaster. Bellator may have some young LW that are better than Thomson today. IMO they should somehow pull the plug on the Jansen vs. Held rematch and make Chandler vs. Jansen and give Held an easier fight to build him back up.

I agree. But I could still see Ben wanting the fight. He's a stud like that.

this is all good natured right? would suck to see this place have a running flamewar about 1 member ducking a fight with another :)

yeah it's a shame about Thompson. Elite for so long but still without that career defining win.

He beat nate diaz.
lol exactly Diaz is the only one that stands out since his win over Giblert in 2008, and you could argue Nate wasn't taking fights seriously during that period, with 3 losses in 4 fights and the only win being a shot-to-shit Maynard.

was an impressive win because of how Thompson looked that night
