I have an AV and sig bet with trae on this one.  That's really the only reason I'm pulling for Maynard otherwise I wouldn't mind seeing either guy get the win.

Nate Diaz doesn't sprawl so why is that a key to victory.  Next thing you know it will be saying throw spinning **** and shoot takedowns.

@ACF I think she definitely cares, she's so ******* emotional about everything.  She's going to be telling herself that just so she can sleep tonight, I do think she's going to win though.

Diaz brothers have grown on me through out the years. I'm not a die hard fan of theirs, but they're a fun fighters and are real. WAR DIAZ!
