Braulio might demolish Diaz in BJJ but Nick would wreck him in MMA.


And for you guys defending one and denouncing the other, this is for you:

Basically Renzo says it was mostly the promoters not being clear with how things were going down. He too agrees that Estima shouldve kept his mouth shut about his weight. Oh and Diaz did donate to the charity.

You gotta respect Estima for making that challenge though. I dont know if he really meant it. I personally think it was more of a 'you're afraid to fight me in my game so I'll fight you in yours' type of thing.

I find it humorous that some of you were saying weigh ins are always day of and in that article Renzo says weigh ins are day before.  HHMmmmmm

it seems to me diaz shouldve walked away long ago if the mma opponent is his concern, give them chance to replace the match. on the day, in my opinion, you go through with it and know better for next time

im sorry but i have to trust the only one of the fighters that actually said anything.
plus Braulio is a great competitor and, to my knowledge, doesn't have any **** ups in his career.
if he says he didnt sign anything saying he should weigh-in and nick is too ashamed to say anything, ill believe the guy that showed up. im sorry, but Nick gets the blame here.

to me seems that again the brazilian is getting flak for nothing.

@Lopati they're almost always the day of. I guess Nick just wanted special rules so that he can get an advantage.
