Megapunk

It was love at first sight for Japanese fans and James Thompson. “Megapunk” was a serious fix for the screaming PRIDE fans – mountaineous, muscled and reckless without a speck of technique.
The Brit has faced a who’s who of MMA and even holds wins against UFC Hall Of Famers Dan Severn and Don Frye. His resume reads fights against Kimbo Slice, Bobby Lashley and Alastair Overeem, to name a few. Thompson is part of one of the most infamous tropes in MMA; in 2008, he faced the late, great Kimbo Slice in a fight under the EliteXC banner.
Come round three, both men were wheezing like grampus, but Thompson was ahead on the cards. Somehow, Kimbo found a second wind and strafed Thompson’s head with punches, one of which exploded his cauliflower ear. Have a watch.
