Josh Thomson recently came to John McCarthy's defense after Aljamain Sterling slammed the former MMA referee for claiming that Petr Yan won the first round of their UFC 273 clash. Thomson called upon 'Funk Master' to respond to Dana White with similar ferocity.

In the aftermath of the fight, White admitted that he felt the judges messed up the scorecards by scoring the fight in favor of Sterling. While in conversation with The Schmo, Thomson went off on the UFC bantamweight champion for handpicking people to respond to instead of maintaining consistency in his criticism.

"I just would like to see [Aljamain Sterling] come with that same type of energy when his boss said he lost too, you know. Why is he picking out and handpicking certain people? Of course, you're not going to talk like that about Dana White cause he's the one that signs your check, okay?"

The former UFC fighter added:

"Don't pick out one person because you didn't agree with them and you want to just, you want to try to make an example out of it. No, have that same energy across the board."
