After earning victories in each of his first seven professional contests, the 38-year-old Thomson joined forces with the UFC and Strikeforce, stringing together an impressive resume that included notable wins over Nate Diaz and Gilbert Melendez. Now under the direction of Bellator MMA, “The Punk” has recorded back-to-back finishes in his first two bouts with the Scott Coker-led promotion. Mit 16 seines 22 Karriere-Siege durch Knockout oder Submission, Thomson is always a threat to end his opponent’s night early.

Here is what Lara had to say about Foreman, training camp with Ronnie Shields and more:
Auf seinem letzten Trainingslager…
We just wrapped up about a week and we got some good rest during fight week. Training camp has been very productive. I’m comfortable with my weight and I feel strong going into this fight. My strength and conditioning is right where I want it. Ronnie and I are always polishing up on the things I do well. Insgesamt, it’s been a great camp.
On facing former world champion Yuri Foreman
I’m grateful to Yuri Foreman for accepting this fight. I know he’s hungry to get back in the ring. He wants to prove that he’s still relevant in the super welterweight division. He’s a former world champion who knows what it’s like to win at the elite level. I’m not looking past Yuri Forman, but I’m very confident I’ll be victorious. I feel I’m going to be the superior fighter when we both step in the ring morgen Nacht.”
On returning to Miami to fight in front of a large Cuban community
My last fight here was amazing and the fan support was unbelievable. I got the knockout and I’m hoping to do the same again. If I see my opponent hurt, I’ll be looking to take him out. I love my Cuban countrymen and all their support, as well as my American fans. Miami is like a second home to me and I can’t wait to give the fans a great show.
On the state of the super welterweight division
The division, meiner Meinung nach, is the most talented division in boxing. Everyone at the top is looking to cement their legacy in boxing history and everyone is spectacular. In the future, we will all have to face each other at some point. So, expect some unification bout to be presented, and may the best man rise to the top. I know I’m ready to fight everyone, but first I must get past Foreman.
On fighting in the main event on Spike
Fighting on Spike, als das Hauptereignis, is going to fantastic. The exposure is wonderful for any athlete competing on their network. Boxing is a great sport, and Spike TV is helping us gain more fans with their viewers. The PBC is doing an excellent job. I’m very happy to be fighting on network television.

Here is what the participants had to say from the Turf Club at Hialeah Park:
Erislandy Lara
Thank you everyone for coming, especially Spike TV and Hialeah Park. Thanks to Team Foreman for taking this fight. Es wird ein großer Kampf werden Freitag Nacht.
Yuri Foreman is a great fighter and a very smart fighter. I am also a very smart fighter, so Freitag night we’re going to find out who is the smarter one in the ring.
“Ich fühle mich großartig. Very happy to be back in Miami in front of my Cuban and Latin fans. This is a great night for Miami and Spike and I plan on putting on a show and making a statement to the boxing world.
“Ich fühle mich großartig. I’m in great shape and feel very strong. Ich bin jetzt bereit zu kämpfen. I just want the bell to ring.
Yuri Foreman
It’s great to be here in Miami where it’s nice and warm and with so many great fighters on this card. I’m ready and looking forward to Freitag. I came here to win and I feel very positive about this.
Erislandy Lara is a great fighter, but me being from the Soviet Union, I’m very familiar with Cuban boxing and have quite a bit of experience with their style, so I’m looking forward to stepping in and showcasing my talents and skills.
Being a rabbi, it is sometimes very interesting to mix that with fighting, aber doch Freitag night I won’t be in rabbi mode. I will be all fighter. We are going to show skills and heart and power am Freitag Nacht.”
Anthony Dirrell
I think this is my third Spike event and I’m happy to be fighting on a show with two great fighters like Lara and Foreman.
It’s going to be a hell of a show. We are going to put on a great show. All the fights on the card are tremendous fightsundefeated fighters fighting undefeated fighters and champions fighting champions and we are all coming to win.
I was going to talk a lot of trash to him (Nemespati), but he can’t understand me anyway. I am looking forward to a great fight against a good opponent like him. Achten Sie darauf, tune in, am Freitag and catch the action!”
NORBERT NEMESAPATI
I am coming in as the smaller fighter, so I will have to put a lot of pressure on him. I sparred a lot of rounds for this fight, with a lot of tall guys. That’s fine with me that he is taller because I love to punch to the body.
I might never get another opportunity like this, so I have to make the most of it. This is a beautiful place and I’m coming to the ring to win big. Thank you for this very special opportunity.
MIGUEL CRUZ
I wish that Alex Martin was here so I could talk a little smack to his face.
“13-0, 11 KOs vs. 13-0, 5 KOs… basically somebody’s ‘0’ has to go and I can give you a hintit’s not going to be mine.
I’m going to crush him like an ant with a sledgehammer. I’m going to destroy him. That’s the plan. Verpassen Sie es nicht.”
