What are the odds Cejudo misses weight?

[Elsalvajeloco]

I forgot to post this when it first came out, but I figured this was the right place:

Boy, who were her parents and what level did they not give a shit?

[ebbie]

Just peeped in to say it's "Talking Stick Resort Arena" now.

 

Casinos run Arizona.

[Elsalvajeloco]

I am going to keep it US Airways Center just based off GP.

 

Since it's still being called that at the moment, I am going to use that as my loophole.

[Zero]

Wow, back to back awesome cards. Is this the UFC? 

 

Really looking foward to this. Is this the end of the road for Overeem? I think he outta be able to tool Struve, but this is Overeem.

They're giving Overeem a guy who has had a nearly 2 year layoff due to medical injuries and is known for getting KO'd.  Let's hope he screws this up.

[Elsalvajeloco]

You know this is all going to end with JDS vs. Overeem. Gotta be a set up for a bigger Overeem cage meltdown.

[Craig H]

All of my favorite fighters are losing. Most recently, Hendricks. Poor Miocic. Sorry for being a fan, buddy. I've doomed you.

[smitlick]

If Overeem loses does he get fired or?

[epwar]

Nate Diaz weighed in at 160 pounds.  Jesus, this kid.

[Elsalvajeloco]

160.6 to be exact. This ain't PRIDE, Nate.

[TheVileOne]

Speaking of amateurs...

 

I guess Nate Diaz really wants to get fired.  

[epwar]

Nah, he knows he can get away with this shit because Dana and Lorenzo have a hard on for the bad boy Diaz brothers.

[Elsalvajeloco]

If you're not losing regularly at that level, you're going to have to do some ingenius Brian Pillman in WCW shit to get fired.

[epwar]

Dana ain't firing any Diaz brother in this PPV barren landscape.

[twiztor]

that statement is true, but Nate has never had anybody purchase a PPV for him.  hell, the last time he was even ON PPV was ufc 141 (3 years ago)

[TheVileOne]

Diaz has been a pretty significant draw for TV, at least on FOX Sports 1 where there numbers aren't as great.  That's why I think they will try to keep him; at least through his current deal.

 

It's no wonder Diaz's professional life is a mess.  His manager, Mike Kogan is a racist, homophobic piece of garbage and an utter nincompoop.  He enables Diaz screwing up his career, much like Cesar Gracie did for Nick Diaz.

 

He posted a racist tweet related to Randa Markos on Twitter and tried to pass it off as someone stole his phone and tweeted it at a bar.  Yet he's used the word on Twitter before, along with lots of other racist tweets and remarks.

[Zero]

Nate won't be fired as long as Silva vs. Nick is still there. 

[Guest Edwin]

Joe Riggs vs. Ben Saunders is a fight that could headline any Bellator card.

[Elsalvajeloco]

FIGHT MASTAAH!

[epwar]

Talking smack while on your back getting handled?  Yeah, you sure showed him, Nate.  I wish I could say this is the end of of one of the Diaz brothers but they'll always be around "fighting the system" (Cormier quote).

[Elsalvajeloco]

Nate has now taken two giant ass whoopings on Fox. First, Bendo and now Dos Anjos. Maybe he can reverse that trend and fight Jim Miller again.

Dos Anjos should have just stood up and kicked the shit out of his leg some more.  I was hoping to see a stoppage from leg kicks. 

[Craig H]

About to lose my shit...
