Wow, what a fight.

So Cyborg is a BJJ black belt huh? I believe that, but Nick Diaz is a different level in that department.

Great card overall. One of the better MMA cards i've seen in a while.

Well slightly ahead and a pair of good fights, not too shabby.

Still Lawler and Cyborg

probably why their records are what they are

Better fight than I thought it would be.

urge2kill · 01-29-11, 11:32 PM

I think all that weed Diaz smokes destroyed that part of his brain that makes him feel pain.

I always am skeptical about brazilians from a certain camp that are supposed BJJ black belts....

this guy has rock chin, damn.. want him to see dominate ufc fighters though

Great fights by Diaz, Gracie and Souza tonight. hell, Herschel looks awesome for a 48 year old. Not a bad card overall.

Diaz? he's beaten a lot of UFC guys. He probably wouldn't be the belt holder in UFC, but he's def. top 5 or 10 170 pounders in the world. He would give some serious problems to just about anyone in the UFC. IMO anyway.

Shit is amazing. I have to question cyborg's power. I know diaz has a rock chin, but he was walking right through fukkin bombs and not flinching. If semtex gets those kind of clean shots on diaz, I think its lights out.

Anybody have an idea of who Nick was talking to in the crowd?

He threw his mouthpiece and a water bottle came flying back. Could have easily been an accident by Nick, and a fans' water bottle. But then he kept going to the cage. Cesar Gracie had to pry him away.

Poppa Catfish · 01-30-11, 12:10 AM

Miller

iQon · 01-30-11, 12:26 AM

Oh. Nothing to see there.

They can't agree on a catch weight. Both refuse to move up/down to the others' weight class. The fight will never happen, they should stop dragging that beef into public.

Poppa Catfish · 01-30-11, 12:28 AM

Miller's lame attempt to stay relevant.

I wouldn't mind seeing this fight happen, but its not going to, he should just **** off and concentrate on putting together some solid wins.

Poppa Catfish · 01-30-11, 12:37 AM

Actually, now people are saying it was Koscheck.

Educ8d Degener8 · 01-30-11, 02:39 AM

Up 0.8u for the night... and damn Diaz' chin is pretty sick. Gotta give the cat credit.

Almost needed that insurance bet on Lawler by TKO/KO... Can't believe he went to the ground with Jacare after he knocked him down...

First sensible thing u've said in a while Tracey!

Diaz will be smart enough to only keep it standing for a minute or 2 then will get it down to the ground and submit Daley quite comfortably I think.

Yea. He can submit daley at will. But he's too hard headed. Will stand for a while because of his tough guy nature.

Tis defintely possible that he stands for too long with Daley, but I read an article earlier where he said that he would put pressure on Daley standing then take him down and submit him. Also Diaz isnt as dumb as he acts, I think he knows that whilst he could use his reach and jab effectively against Daley it's just not worth the risk.
