good point, probably deserves the benefit of the doubt

[ReignOnU]

LOL... I don't disagree with you. He looked like WWE prime mode leading up to this one. Just relaying what I've read.

[dakshdar]

Ouch.

Brock's 7/9 in-competition sample tested positive for the same unnamed substance. RIP Brock's UFC future.

[nick]

he got popped for using a asthma inhaler no?

[nick]

besides u think Brock cares about his ufc career? he just got the most money ever and he can come back in 2 yrs if he wants and get another big payday if he wants. Brock wasnt going for any titles

Mark Hunt wants half of the 2.5M purse that was paid to Brock (which I believe usually happens in doping cases)

[autiger730]

Ouch.

He only quacks now when asking for food.

Funniest crap ever... I'm in Demetrious Johnson's Twitch stream watching him play WoW and talking... then an alarm goes off in the background... I immediately posted that he better run because it was his USADA alarm...

...then his wife comes into the room and tells him that USADA is there! Funny as hell, he's in a dungeon in the game and asked them to wait a few minutes while he finished it. Haha, WoW Dungeon > USADA.

Does Nate Diaz feel pain or get tired... Ever?

These 2 should have to fight each other on every UFC card, that was awesome.

McGregor 3-2 imo.

[GeorgesGoons]

Not a fucking chance McGregor won that one! I thought Diaz won the second round even after getting dropped. Conor had 2 lucky punches in the second round but he was done in that round. This was all about UFC lining their pockets with a Diaz/McGregor III.

I don't see McGregor going back down to 145, especially the way Aldo looked at 200. McGregor would get ass raped by Aldo if Aldo comes out like he did at 200.

Get ready to see all the HYPE about him at 155 as being the best ever.

Not a chance?

The majority of folks thought he won, from what I've seen. There was a media scorecard, 14 for McGregor, 1 for Diaz, and 4 for a draw. So it's kinda hard to buy the rigged fight theory when you're in the minority thinking Diaz won.

Also, McGregor knocked Diaz down twice on punches in the 2nd round. That did and should count for more than the little flurry Diaz had in the final 30 seconds. That was a 10-8 round for McGregor before Diaz came on late, and he really didn't do enough to turn that around and have won round 2.

There isn't a chance McGregor won rounds 3-5. I'm going to watch it again now that I know the outcome and see where he won. 10-8 rounds don't get handed out in MMA like Boxing. Especially the way Diaz came back in round 2 (and it was more than the last 30 seconds). So even if he won the first 2 rounds, I didn't see him winning rounds 3-5. But, like I said I will watch again tomorrow morning when I am up (and sober) and judge it subjectively (I say that as a Diaz fan).

Conor somehow won the 2nd and was nearly finished in the 2nd. Interesting scoring to say the least. SHould of been a draw imo

Conor / 9-9 / Nate / Conor / Nate

Majority of UFC fighters who tweeted about it think Diaz won

And 2 judges and the majority of the mma media scorecards thought McGregor won, so saying there's "not a chance" he won is kinda silly.

Shel arguing MMA and UFC.

I've seen it all.

Did you watch the fight? And are you a MMA fan that watches most of the fights.

I'll admit, I had my Diaz glasses on during the fight. That is why I said I'll watch it again tomorrow when I am sober and know the outcome of the fight.

Reign, I'm sure you watched the fights. What did you think?

Who else watched them? What were your thoughts?



RUMBLE RUBLED! That is all I can say about that.

I really thought the Larkin/Magney fight was going to be fight of the night. I also think these two will meet again in a top 5 matchup. I'm a Magney fan, but Larkin is one of the most dynamic strikers in that division.
