Nick needs to never fight again. Couldn't make weight so they tried to pull a fast one on Lawler. Showed up flabby and looked as washed as one can seem. Then makes even less sense than before in the post-fight interview. Don't do CTE and weed kids.

They just let Evander Holyfield fight and also let Chuck Liddell fight..
people are more focused on the money people bring rather than health. Not shocking knowing how ****** this world can be.

Well that's heartbreaking. Never would have thought I'd see a diaz brother give up after getting hit, hard to see it any other way, he wanted out. Today is a dark day.

100% facts. The commission aren't doing their job and it's both pathetic and incredibly sad - these guys are taking damage when they're already slurring and rambling. What next, Ngannou vs. Goodridge?

idk if Lawler looked worst than I expected (looks like he had zero ko power in this fight) or Diaz looked better(in the first minute, I think it was going to be a mess, but he was landing good combos)

Lol It was 17k to win I think, it was only a 7k bet.

I remember because I thought, "goddamn, is MMA such small peas 7k really gets you on tv?"

Dear Georgian Gods of Just Bleed, please let Lauren Murphy win. I'm not sure I can take one more salsa dance routine from Valentina.

A Valentina title bout on a fight card is like listening to elevator music: it’s just there to be there before you get off on your floor, you’re gonna forget about it the moment you get off

Respect to both Diaz and Lawler! That was a good fight for How long it lasted and very entertaining. And good job by Diaz to throw in the towel and no he was done. No shame in that.

I hate how we can’t help but talk about female fighters appearances, that said… Lauren Murphy is a ghoul.
