Pretty sure it's april fools, but it's definitely lovely jokes.

It was unbearable before social media too.

No chance. It'd be at 145 for the belt if Conor wanted it that way, even knowing Diaz can't make the weight. He's got them wrapped round his little finger.

Yeah it's just like a totally straightforward post except on April 1st. It reminds me of an old sketch where a radio host calls someone up and tells them he ran over the dog as a 'joke' and the guy is devastated.

quote:


"Since that last fight, have you heard any praise for me from Dana or the UFC? None at all," Diaz told ESPN.com. "How much praise has that m-----f----- got? I've never lost a fight and not wanted to fight the guy 10 minutes later. The UFC is pumping him up again, saying he wants to redeem himself and giving him all this credit for it. It's like, dude, I've been obsessed with every fight I've ever lost. This is a gift for him to get it right away.

"He's saying he's obsessed? Welcome to my life, m-----f-----. That's the game, and I've never gotten my losses back."


Nate's growing on me.

If it turns out that Alexander actually did retire from MMA that means that Ryan Bader would be defaulted to a title shot at some point in the future and lmaooooooo

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.
Remember how Nate was being schooled by Conor at every presser with being able to smack talk him down without even trying? Somehow Nate managed to become a better talker via osmosis defeat.

That seems like a pretty sincere retirement post from Gus. Not suggesting that Gus is dumb, but if it's a gag, it's really really dry. He doesn't strike me as the kind for dry irony, and that kind of joke is even more difficult to pull off in translation.

It's tough because it's April first so it feels like a gag.

Was he being schooled by Conor though? Conor was definitely busting out the funnier and more clever lines but Nate would say gently caress you or you're on steroids and Conor would get a face like he'd been stung by a bee.

The things Nate said actually seemed to upset Conor, which is really weird, whereas Nate mostly seemed to be upset by the presence of a video camera and it's soul-stealing abilities.

The difference between Nate and Conor is Nate doesn't practice his lines in a mirror or have a focus group to workshop with.

Conor probably was legitimately annoyed by the steroid line but it's hard to say he got the worst of that exchange when he followed it up by asking Nate if he knew Jake Shields and Gilbert were on steroids and Nate just sat there fuming

He can say plenty to Aldo but what can he say to a man he's dodging hard to fight two divisions up and praying Aldo does the job so he doesn't have to fight him?

True, but that's a 1 - 1 score but Nate got under his skin a couple of times. There's a reason he threw that punch at the staredown, after all.

unless the treatment and diagnosis algorithms have been changed in the last couple of years you're not allowed to diagnose an adult patient with coeliac disease without getting a tissue biopsy (that is to say, hosed by a camera). the blood tests are pretty decent, but there's a shitload of quackery going on (iirc dennis hallman never actually got any of the proper tests done, he sent a sample of his poo poo in the mail to some probably scam website) so when diego says he got a blood test i'll wait until he says he got a blood test from an actual doctor because otherwise there's a good chance that next year diego says it was all wrong for him and now he's going to fight at a new weight class and everything is great now
