5. Josh 'The Punk' Thomson
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FCpFjdDvQnM Okay; expecting Lightweight Josh 'The Punk' Thomson (20-6) to find an agreeable weight to meet the (supposedly) 218-lbs CM Punk at may be a push. However, it must be remembered that the WWE have a habit of exaggerating wrestler's weights. CM Punk's billed height of 6"2 is also believed to be overly generous; he is believed to be closer to 5"11. Suddenly, the 5"10 Josh Thomson doesn't seem so diminutive... This could be a potentially fun fight as it could be billed as the Punk vs Punk throw-down. After his recent, controversial loss to Benson Henderson which once again derailed Thomson's path towards the division's belt, Josh revealed that he was considering throwing in the towel on MMA. An exhibition-style match up against Punk with no title bearing but which would generate plenty of interest among MMA and wrestling fans alike might be just what Thomson needs to reconsider his decision.
