Haters! lol All he was saying was that there were opening against Weidman with his hands and he failed to capitalize on them. I hope he would smash him he outweighs him by 30 lbs.

Diaz is always angling for something when he talks.

Well he has wanted that fight for a long time, and Anderson recently said that they are looking at Nick as a possible opponent when he returns. It wouldn't make much sense but it would be awesome.

The Diaz brothers in my opinion are way to small to be fighting at 170. Even at 155 i think Nate is weaker than the guys in the top 10. I always thought Nate should be at 145 and Nick at 155.

I'm not sure Nate could make 145, he is already lean as hell at 155, Nick could possibly make 155 though. They both walk around at about 185ish I believe. Nate has struggled at times against bigger stronger wrestlers at 155 but has had some success. Nick would be a destroyer at that weight.

What? Nate is huge at 155. He isn't thick but he's very tall and wide for 155. It's a nasty cut for him and that's why he sometimes goes up to 170. He wasn't bullied at all by Jim Miller who tried to push him up against the fence. Bendo beat him everywhere, but Bendo is just plain better.

Nick at 155 seems like a huge stretch as well. He's a solid 170 lb guy, and I don't think he could make 155 without Kenny Florian type measures.

Nate has done well against some wrestlers like Miller and Maynard, then struggled with others. He has gotten better throughout the years. The Bendo fight he had one eye basically the whole fight but he got dominated. I believe the lightest Nick has ever weighed in at was 163 in pride, that was years ago and his frame has seemingly filled out.

Agree, and the reason's he's struggled are not due to size.

Imo they are game plan issues, I don't think Nick and Nate ever actually have a game plan, they just go in there to fight. They don't really have a head coach or anything like that.

I don't think tonight is worth buying and I can't find anyone to go to Bdubs with so I'm going to miss it.

Go first row. Google it, don't want to link it so Justin doesn't get a certified letter.

Rory just dominated Woodley for three rounds, very impressive.

Didn't watch this card, never been interested in the 125 pounders. Also not a fan or Rory, wish Woodley found like he did against Koshchek and Condit, read he was timid.

You didn't miss much, the Main and Co-main were good but not much else noteworthy. Rory basically bullied Woodley against the cage and tee'd off on him. Woodley had no answer, kept backing straight up right into the cage. Woodley choked again in a big fight.

Coker takes over and you'll see Alvarez and Chandler in the UFC. Just my opinion

Also, Mousassi vs Jacare - big step up for Mousassi.

Mousasi knocked out Jacare with an upkick years ago, rematch will be interesting.

Jacare has a great stand up game to go with his ground game now - I don't see him losing. I actually think he can beat Weidman if healthy.
