So its not confirmed but I can imagine the UFC throwing some extra cash at Robby to keep the fight a go. Wouldn't be a Diaz fight week without a little headache to the UFC would it lol

PlusMoneyGod, who also called the DIAZ v. LAWLER bout an "old dust mop fight."
He name confirms that his love is for money, while the rest of us love MMA, and are loyal to all of it--not just the new, upcoming, big name fighters, but the ones who paved the way for them.

Alexander Volkanovski, DEC
Just a matter of volume
Shevchenko vs. Murphy
Valentina Shevchenko, DEC
Valentina by decision is probably plus money, and I'm a man who looks at patterns. She has alternated dec and finish, and Murphy is pretty damn tough.
Lawler vs. Diaz II
Robbie Lawler, DEC
Diaz not being able to make the weight is worrisome, I have to pick the more active fighter even if he's been losing. Glad the odds are even though because this is a true coin flip
Blaydes vs. Rozenstruik
Curtis Blaydes, DEC
wrasslin
Andrade vs. Calvillo
Jéssica Andrade, DEC
The KO could come, but Calvillo is really tough so I think she'll just look like hamburger at the end of 15 minutes
Moraes vs. Dvalishvili
Merab Dvalishvili, DEC
I'm sorry but this is free money
Hooker vs. Haqparast
Nasrat Haqparast, DEC
I hate visa issues, neither of these warriors is going to be at 100% when this thing goes down and it's a shame. I think Haqparast digs deep to win with volume

Fiorot and Moroz are not alike. Moroz is a quick striker with good footwork, heavy volume and less power (which makes sense because she fought 115 early in her career). Fiorot's style is pressure and power punching with low volume and judicious striking. Moroz never pressured Bueno at any point of their fight, Fiorot pressures in every fight she's in. Fiorot's style is more like Bueno Silva's. Just information for any one who wanted a correct analysis

My 'love for money trumps love for MMA'....? Because I don't wanna watch 2 old hasbeens in the octagon just due to a name they made for themshelves 2 presidents ago when they were in their prime? That makes you the casual bright guy.. Maybe it makes more sense that I actually know up and coming fighters who would put on a better fight in that spot on Saturday than 2 geriatrics... Maybe I just watch more MMA than you so I see how old (especially inactive) fighters perform. I watched Yoel Romero last weekend THE ENTIRE FIGHT. I watched Rua vs Nogueira THE ENTIRE FIGHT. I watched Condit beat McGee and Brown in snoozer fashion just to get handled by Max Griffin and then retire. Some people just know more than others, that would be me > you. It has 0 to do with money.
Please explain to me what betting odds would have to do with my interest in the Diaz vs Lawler fight so I can have a good laugh? Your logic is baffling to me but then again you're the only guy who wants to talk about Lauren Murphy with Duck so you can't be that smart.

Uros Medic, TKO, R1
I know a lot of people are high on Medic, I'm not quite on the hype train right now but I do think he can win this one. Not confident in my pick though, Turner is a very good striker but I feel like with his tall stance Medic can explode early and land some power shots. Medic has yet to be tested outside the beginning of round 2, if Turner can drag it out to round 2 and 3 then we might get a completely different fighter out of Medic. That being said though I think Medic can land something early and finish this fight, wouldn't be surprised if Turner wins however, very goof fight

If I couldn't see past betting odds wouldn't I be taking Murphy smart guy? As the plusmoneygod, Why would I wanna pick a -1115 favorite over +650? Make that make sense.
Murphy has a chance to win, it's a fight. You know what else has a chance of happening? There's a chance the moon falls out of the sky and crushes you while you sleep at night... let's talk about that while we are sitting here talking about fantasies.
Favorites lose when they are lazy unmotivated and/or unfocused. Valentina is one of the most dominant athletes in the world and that is because she is one of the most hard working. She trained with Rose (hard sparring on occasion) last camp and if that wasnt enough, trained with Brandon Moreno this camp. Yea yea good analysis on Murphy but are you gonna pick her, if not then like I told him, **** about. You can't even mention a good reason you want to talk about Murphy
