And people harp on Joanna for not wanting to accept the fact that she lost to Rose yet most "fans" encourage Nate in thinking he beat Conor in the 2nd fight. Not a single judge scored the fight for Nate, it was either draw or Conor.

Dude Poirier has a picture floating around while he was sending that tweet. He was just messing around, you know trolling. He was literally cracking up when he sent that tweet.

this fight doesnt make sense for me probably a rough out for Nate i dont see how he can resist Poiriers top heavy aggression and ground and pound if and when he chooses to rag doll it out i dunno , Nate vs Justin would have pressed my red button

you know with Nate and Justin G. they are going to just go nuts in there a viewers pleasure and a great one style wise (2 nut jobs with cardio) but i think Dustin is gonna go in play around a bit rag doll Nate and probably use brutal top heavy ground and pound, for the viewers pleasure and for his own sick and unkind desires

I hope Diaz wins this as a fan, however i cant help seeing a Condit vs Nick Diaz outcome, where an agressive nate gets chewed up by kicks all night to give Dustin the Dec.

Diaz as long as he commits no fouls.
