BREAKING •••Update••• Josh Thomson has suffered a Torn PCL.Brian @FrontRowBrian
I don’t think Pat Healy would agree to a 5 round title fight on 5.19. More likely in Portland July 14.Brian @FrontRowBrian
@therealpunk, the warrior he is, still wants to fight Gil. Highly unlikely with a Torn PCL
According to Brian, the next likely candidate for the title, Pat Healy, wouldn’t be ready in time, moving any title defense for Melendez until their July 14th, Portland, Oregon card.
