Predictions: 10 of 13 Winners, 5 Perfect, 625 Points | Tied for 183rd
If ever there was an event tailor-made for the hardcore fan, this is it. Use it to convert friends, family and everything in between into MMA fanatics.
Prelims kick off on UFC Fight Pass at 6pm ET. Then, switch over to FOX Sports 2 (not FS1) for four more televised prelims at 8pm. Some random other sport BS is on FS1.
And then it'sssssssss TIIIIIMMMMMMEEEEEEEEE!

And whether you hate GSP or not everyone knows deep down that Georges with a clear mind and a healthy body beats anyone at 170 past or present and probably future.

Seriously, if that was any other fighter everyone would me "awww, ******* disrespectful, blah, blah, blah" but apparently when a Diaz does that **** it's so ******* cool, let's upvote the **** out of it ...
I wonder what Nick Diaz would do if someone did that to him ...

And I think Nick Diaz knows how to take a joke. When you have a brother who's exactly like you, like the Diaz's (my brother and I are like that too), you're gonna learn to take a joke because he's gonna be busting your balls too.

I just think, for one, that is most definitely NOT the time to joke around with a fighter and he knows it. And secondly, please tell me that if let's say Jon Jones was doing that, all hell wouldn't break loose.
No harm done though, Johny said it best at the press conference, he's a wrestler, they've been cutting weight forever and are strong mentally so it didn't affect him one little bit.
I just think there needs to be some kind of red line where "oh well, you know, it's a Diaz thing" just doesn't cut it, and potentially ******* with other guy's careers should be where that red line is drawn. He doesn't know that it won't affect Johny does he? On the contrary, he wanted it to affect him because he was picking a fight knowing that he wants back and that's the fight he wants.
So pick a fight bro, but wait a sec, let the dude prepare properly for the fight of his life first and then start getting on his case, That just wasn't the time, imo.
Anyways, it was just an observation, not a "Diaz is a ********" post ... I like that dumbass :)

And yeah, Johny's a pro. I didn't think this would bother him in the least. And I much as I like Diaz, Hendricks would probably beat him soundly. Diaz is on the same level as Chael Sonnen. When he talks ****, most people are like "oh there's Nick running his mouth again" followed by a chuckle.
And like the Jon Jones thing you brought up. That would kind of be a **** move, especially since he has history of being an *******. Especially after last week with that **** with Tyson Griffin.
Actually, I think that might be the line you are talking about. Diaz never berates fighters or makes em feel like ****. Diaz would never tell another fighter "you're lucky I'm talking to you". Yelling at Hendricks at the weigh ins was getting close to that line though. But I don't think he crossed it. Especially since Hendricks didn't give a ****.
And honestly, I think Diaz is starting to open his mouth again because GSP is no longer the champ and he sees a new opportunity.

Condit got steamrolled bro, end of story. He lost every second of that fight up until the inury and nothing was changing. That injury happened, on a takedown, which he is incapable of stopping all night, and was not gonna magically fix in 5 minutes.
That fight was very conclusive, CONDIT IS NOT A TOP 5 FIGHTER.

cause I am not gonna make excuses for a fighter who lost a very one sided fight by injury and is on a 1-3 stretch arguably 1-4 considering the diaz fight?
Condit is clearly not a top 5 fighter, if he was he would not be losing every fight he has vs top 5 talent
