Nate Diaz came off of a sixteen year hiatus after getting drunk in Cabo and killed #1 p4p fighter COnor McGregor, so I bet probably Nick can come back and force Jorge Masvidal to pull his one trick; losing a split decision.

Nah, this one hasn't had multiple cocaine/alcohol fuelled meltdowns by multiple users and discussions of sister loving.

I dislike the probations but at the same time we should probably stop derailing the thread as the constant slapfight derails are dumber than anything Mike Perry has ever said.

SMP and MP should take it up in QCS rather than poo poo the thread up. Same as that idiot spewing Twitch stats nobody cared about.

Let's stick to talking about Yairs amazing KO, Diaz Sr. possibly coming back finally, or speculating if, per Argentinian tradition, a post match riot will break out this weekend.

Thanks friends, I love you all.

Edit - in a strictly half naked grappling bromantic way.

Looking at the card for this weekend no matches really stand out at all, are there any hidden gems in there?

On the plus side, usually these seemingly throwaway cards have good fights on them.

MM should have beat up a couple average BW for street cred and hespect like Anderson did with LHWs.

He did, except he did it with really successful bantamweights like Joey B and John Dodson.

No, we worked out that the best base for MMA is an abusive sibling, a heart full of darkness and cocaine.

i think was never really true, and is becoming less true over time as the throwaway cards become more and more throwaway. sometimes they're good obviously. but most of the time if they look a bit poo poo they're gonna be a bit poo poo.

And the mercy seat is awaiting,
And I think my head is burning,
And in a way I'm yearning,
To be done with all this measuring of proof.
An eye for an eye
And a tooth for a tooth,
And anyway I told the truth,
And I'm not afraid to die.
Pull that fight.

I remember the UFC saying she was the next big thing at 115, guess they weren’t too far off.

Didn’t she get outboxed by Carla Esparza? If so, lol.

Hi there, would you like to try some spicy products?

I assume their plan to get her ready post-weighin is handing her a bottle of Pedialyte, encasing her in the golden throne, and sacrificing a thousand souls for her sustenance

Nick Diaz has said he thinks Masvidal's a pretty good boxer in the past,

Didn't a grand jury which is like 90% to indict decide there wasn't enough evidence and drop the charges?

basically

the famous quote about grand juries is that you could get a grand jury to indict a ham sandwich if you wanted them to, so ol Nick Diaz is less culpable than a ham sandwich I guess

I think their rules are fine, but they should consider hiring more conservative doctors to independently evaluate fighters and call fights off.
Same deal as the NFL though, no short term profit in pulling the athletes.

Nah it's super dumb that at welterweight someone can literally weigh like 20 pounds more than the other person IE cowboy vs till.

People like Till and Conor who are normal sized/small for the next weight class up are free to try to cut hard and end up looking like poo poo during the fight.

Yeah, a grand jury failing to indict is rare. Any time I hear a grand jury didn't indict someone I automatically think "oh, well then he probably didn't do it. Why the hell did the prosecutor bring the case if it was that weak?"
