Nick Diaz beating Anderson Silva would be the greatest thing the sport has seen so far.

If he wins, I'd say he has a good shot at getting the title shot afterwards too. Because the UFC loves giving him title shots.

Anderson will tell Soares to tell Diaz that he is a worthless piece of poo poo and a loser for not owning a home and then Soares will type "Nick Diaz, you are a tough opponent and we have great respect for you and for all of the fans in Stockton" and hit send

If Nick tags Silva while Silva clowns around just like in Weidman/Silva 1 I will never stop laughing.

It'll be funny because the powerless punch will do nothing and then Anderson will kick Nick in his head.

I imagine the same reaction Forrest describes in his fight were he managed to tag Silva and he just looked at him like "why did you have to go and do that?"

They both are coming off long layoffs, maybe Anderson is old, maybe he is scared to kick, there is some mystery there. Just enough that there's a question.

No.

Speaking of participating fighters in Silva vs Diaz who have potential title shots on their mind...

"Right now, a title shot is not my priority, but if I have the credentials to fight for the title, I'll be more than glad to do it. At this point, I want to feel my legs walking and my movement. My main priority is to see how I perform."

Once I have feeling in my legs again, I would like to fight the man who caused it.

What the flying gently caress how have I never seen this? What happened here?

Speaking of things I've never seen before, after looking up Jeremy Jackson, I googled around some more, got kinda lost, found out that Shonie "Mearion Shonie Bickhem III" Carter fought as recently as January of this year, lost by TKO (Retirement) and then - following up on weird stoppage reasons - I came across the DQ (Wouldn't get up from butt scoot) of Nick Serra.

If anyone could gif the "leg kick" at 9:03, my life would surely be complete.

Jose Aldo has an odd take on TRT use

quote:

"I see no problem (with TRT usage). A lot of people use something and hide, then they criticize people who admittedly use. I think these are a bunch of pussies trying to find an excuse, fearing to lose fights against who's doing a good job. At one point you have an age that makes it necessary and I see no problem with TRT. I would fight who is doing TRT, who isn't, or who is using other drugs. It doesn't matter to me anyway. The same punch I'll throw in one of these guys, I'll throw in another of them. If it's allowed or not, I don't care because I'll still train and fight as I'm doing right now."

It seems that he believes that all fighters are on something, PED use is vital to counteract the effects of aging and the only question is if they're open about it or not. Aldo could be giving a brutally frank appraisal of what it takes to compete in mma, or it could be that carny thing where if you cheat/lie/steal, you perceive everone you encounter to also be a cheater/conman/thief of some stripe.

well, after seeing some of the higher paid athletes in the sport (Sonnen, Vitor, Wanderlei) and even some of the lower rung (Drysdale, Bagautinov, Casey) it doesn't really seem that crazy of a thought to assume everyone is on something or another

btw I spelled Ali Bag's last name correctly without even doing a Google

FWIW, Ian's straight out of his rear end guess is that about 80% of people in the UFC are on something, mostly EPO.

I wish they promoted a Bantam supershow for the Aug 30th event with TJ rematching Assuncao and the other top dudes in Barao, Faber, Cruz facing off against lower or unranked dudes not in a tournament but whoever has the most impressive performance getting the next shot. I really like this division.

Well it's a good litmus test, if Gina can't keep Carmouche off her she's gonna get seriously hosed up against Ronda.

It's a pretty dangerous proposition for Gina though unless she really wants a tuneup fight. Carmouche presents stylistic problems for Gina and could ruin her last good MMA payday.

Remember how gary shaw set up a division especially for Carano that had no other women in it, and hed scour regional talent looking for women smaller than that weight class that he set up especially for Carano, and how Carano wouldn't make weight and her dad looked at her naked, then high fived the ref after she won

Given the stakes and windows for success I think it would be a safe assumption this would be the case across all sports, if not higher.

Supposedly there's pharmaceutical companies that shop services around to sports teams with the gurantee that they won't be detected.

It's too bad Coker tried way too much to make good fights because if they had given that title fight to Shayna Baszler or someone else instead they could've made a lot of money in that women's 145 division instead of having it get killed by Cyborg murdering fat straw weights.
