[Richard Blonoff]

Yikes... that doesn't even look human.

Also, here's some good stuff from Bisping from the press conference yesterday.

[Turd Ferguson]

The injury curse continues. Palhares and Camozzi both out of 150.

 

[Fizzy]

Read something about 1/2 a point scoring being passed for something. Don't know the extent of it, I'm on the beach and can't see my phone well enough so if somebody could summarize the article for us, I'd be grateful.

 

[Turd Ferguson]

Ben Rothwell out of UFC on Fox. Being replaced by rapist Devin Cole. Jeff, can you fix the prediction contest to reflect this? Thx.

 

[JWGunslinger]

I'm officially trying to sell my tickets for Fox 4, this card has gotten so fucked I don't want to spend money on it. So if anybody wants 3 floor tickets PM me

 

[Turd Ferguson]

The next contender after Hendo will be either Shogun, Machida, or Bader.

Jones already disemboweled all three of them.

 

[JWGunslinger]

Boys this one almost had me shitting my pants. Frank Mir moves to Strikeforce to face Daniel Cromier........

 

[Fizzy]

I can't wait for Reem's suspension to be lifted. Reading the guys interviews makes me so pumped for his next fight, such an intense dude.

 

[Richard Blonoff]

Frank has never lost back to back fights in his career. Pains me to say it but DC probably puts a hurting on him.

 

[JWGunslinger]

I'll admit that even though I like to think I know what I'm talking about when it comes to a match up there are always two ideas of a fight from me, my mind and my heart. In my heart one of my favorite fighters of all time Frank Mir goes in there are rips off DC's leg. In my mind this fight goes alot like Cromier-Barnett. Just pray that Frank can come back from that horrible lost to Junior and pull out a good fight.

Also shits getting heated on Twitter between Big Country and Carwin, this is going to be the first truly entertaining season in a while. Also assistant coaches for each coach
Carwin:Trevor Whitman, Nate Marquardt and Pat Barry
Roy: Possibly Junior Dos Santos and Chael Sonnen....please let this happen.

 

[Final Form Snyper.]

Roy is a naturally entertaining guy, while Carwin is more intense. Though I hope this is a more fighter focused series like TUF Brazil was. It's more about them as budding fighters looking to gain exposure at the cost of their freedom for weeks on end. I don't think it's right to have more focus on the coaches. Though at the same time, the coaches are the bigger names and are to most, the ratings generators for the series.

 

[Final Form Snyper.]

Anyone want a name
change bet? I have Brandon Vera with the upset.

It’s been a trying time these last 4 months as I have been faced with the prospect that one of our team’s most talented fighters had decided to leave the sport. As a fan I’ve always admired what both of the Diaz’s brought to the cage; a combination of technical brilliance and raw violence.

Nate Diaz has finally put his game together and found the formula to propel him to the top of the 155lbs division. To see Nick leave at the top of his game was difficult.

For the last couple of months I’ve watched Nick begin to frequent the gym more and more. He’s training harder now than he has for many of his fights. It was obvious that training and fighting is in his DNA. It is who he is. This week we had a great talk and he made it clear to me that he is ready to get back to the cage. Nick Diaz will return.

To address the NSAC suspension, I will say that we have appealed to the courts and if things go our way, it will be plausible that Nick could return as early as sometime at the end of this year. For too long NSAC bureaucrats have acted with malicious incompetence towards the fighters. We will challenge them in court.

As far as future opponents, Nick has stated that he would like to take fights “that matter”. Since GSP will be fighting Condit, he has to look elsewhere. He will respectfully ask for a fight with Anderson Silva, a fighter he respects and would like to challenge.

Silva’s camp has been speaking of a fight with GSP, possibly even at a catch weight. Nick will take that fight in a minute but has told me that should Silva decide not to drop at all, he will move up to 185lbs to face the Champ.

I will be meeting with Dana next Monday August 6th to discuss this and other issues. If you appreciate Nick’s fighting style, please let Dana know that you want Nick back ASAP.

Thank you and best regards,
Cesar Gracie

It's not like Anderson has shit else to do, and he knows Diaz would stand with him. I think there's a real possibility of this happening. I certainly hope so, anyway. I would pay up to $100 to watch Anderson vs. Diaz.

 

[Fizzy]

If Diaz wants Anderson, fuck Weidman, fuck Rockhold, fuck Bisping and fuck Jon Jones. Everybody moves behind Diaz.

 

[JWGunslinger]

I would pay out the ass to see that fight, cant even begin to fathom it's awesomeness.

 

[Fizzy]

There is no way that fight could possibly be boring. I know i've said that before, but I really mean it. That fight could not possibly be boring.

 

[jmt225]

I can't possibly fathom why the UFC wouldn't make this fight. I mean, it's not like Diaz is even asking for a title shot... he just wants to test himself against the greatest champion in UFC history. Exactly why I love the guy.

And put the fight in Brazil, where it can be sanctioned even before Diaz's suspension with the athletic commission is over. The UFC needs to stop being *****es and quit following the NSAC's rulings. Just because Diaz can't fight in Nevada shouldn't mean he can't fight in other places.

 

[Richard Blonoff]

I can understand why they wouldn't let him fight elsewhere in the US, it would be crazy hard to obtain a fighter's license while suspended by another state but they could go to Brazil with it.

 

[Fizzy]

If the UFC wasn't based out of Nevada, I have no doubts Diaz would have a fight lined up, but because a majority of their shows are in the MGM, I doubt they'll let Diaz fight.

Diaz should just drop the shit against the NSAC, it can only do harm and eat away time. No reason to sue them and create more problems for yourself.

 

[JWGunslinger]

Agreed, that shit isnt going anywhere and it's just making the wait for his return longer.

 

[Tha Wolfpac]

This fight has the potential to be better than the Shogun V Hendo fight and that is very telling of how much of a war this would be.

 

[Turd Ferguson]

I dunno, I think Anderson would destroy Nick.

I'd love to see the fight though.

 

[jmt225]

As expected, Andy's camp likes the idea of him vs. Nick Diaz.

 

[Richard Blonoff]

At this point with Andy having beaten everyone and there being no clear #1 contender at 185 I wouldn't mind one or two non title super fights.
