Once again, social media causes controversy in the lives of UFC fighters. Weeks after the alleged episode of homophobia involving Jon Jones, this time it was Josh thomson, an athlete in the lightweight category, who was involved in a controversial situation on Twitter.

The fighter's official account published an offensive message against brothers Nick and Nate diaz, in which there was a challenge for the first. “I knocked out your brother and I will knock you out in San José, on July 26th. Let's do this, you bitch. Go f*** yourself, Nick Diaz!” the message said.

The next day, Thomson deleted the message and stated that his account had been hacked.

People that know me, know I wouldn't ever talk about a fighter like this. My phone was stolen last night while at dinner.
