James “The Colossus” Thompson (20-14, 1 NC) has had somewhat of a career resurgence and is now on a six fight unbeaten streak after defeating fellow giant heavyweight Eric Prindle via 1st round TKO at Bellator 121 last night.
Despite having competed in various promotions around the world last night was Thompson’s first appearance in Bellator and he made a statement defeating their former number one title contender within a couple of minutes of the first round.
He isn’t there to make up the numbers however as the 35-year-old said he would like to go through Bellator’s heavyweight division and named former UFC heavyweight Cheick Kongo as a potential match-up during the post-fight interview.
