Well I think this seals it, don't talk **** to the Diaz's. I don't think they have ever lost a fight where people have made it a point to talk **** with them in the lead up to the fight.

-Lawler vs GSP
-McGregor vs. Frankie (co-main)
RDA missed out on a huge payday, that might never come around again. Aldo needs to chill and heel that brain of his.

I think it will be Condit vs Lawler. The rumors ive heard is that GSP does not plan to come back.
I also think it be a mistake for Conor to move back to 145. He been filling out, he won't be able to make the weight as easy as before and before was far from easy. I think he could possible ruin his career by moving back to 145 again. I feel he would show up very diminished, but I could be wrong.

GSP now has a ****-ton of leverage for a comeback against Lawler. If he was going to do it, it's now. I still don't think he will.

Nothing too crazy of course, that's the beauty of MMA, **** that goes down in March gets drowned out by new stuff by May. But it's interesting to see where they go with it.

Conor is still going to be a big seller. He's still a champion and has tons of grudge matches on the horizon, and now his opponents have media ammo.

Always strikes me as weird when people who lost savagely to a fighter jump on him after a loss. Doesn't that make you look even worse? Weird.
