UFC 244: Masvidal vs. Diaz (11/2/2019) - New York, NY (Madison Square Garden)

[Elsalvajeloco]

Nick is turning into Razor Ramon.

Meant to ask this earlier, what does Nick Diaz do now as his last fight was four years ago vs. Anderson Silva? I know he was suspended. This will be Nate's fifth fight in that timeframe.

It's closer to five years now. Just be Nick Diaz I'm guessing.

[Raziel]

Color me disappointed.

FWIW DAZN has decided to wait until the UFC 244 main event is over to start Canelo vs. Kovalev so viewers don't have to choose between the two. Based on the lack of crowd and energy at the Canelo vs. Kovalev weigh-in, that's an extremely smart decision on their part.

[The Natural]

Hell.

So yeah, it looks like they are expecting a certain special guest.

Jesus, look at all of that blood that just poured out of Rencountre in no time.

That was quite brutal.

This division sucks. It's wide open for a decent fighter to quickly leap to the top (and lose to Shevchenko).

I wouldn't say the division sucks (especially if you compare to the days when Barb Honchak was #1), but the initial slew of challengers are not going to be the best. Look at strawweight for example. Jessica Penne and Valerie Letourneau challenged for the belt and the division improved dramatically thereafter.

Absolutely but I want to die when I watch Katlyn Chookagian fight. I hope one of the promising younger fighters (that are flawed themselves) beat her before she gets a title shot.

[Elsalvajeloco]

Hi, Andrei. Bye, Andrei.

[Jiji]

Another highly promising heavyweight. Chin up, throwing, and counter punching. I like it, well not so much the first part but damn if it ain't entertaining while it lasts.

Oh, I think she gets the next title shot so that's out of the books IMO. Chookagian is a pretty decent fighter, but it's not the prettiest style to watch at all.

Apparently, the portion of your head underneath your ear is very vulnerable. On the replay, Jairzinho caught him right underneath the ear and made Andrei's eyes roll in the back of his head like the Undertaker. Scary. That was more than an equilibrium shot.
