Gonna be a great card. Good matchups in all three segments.

I wonder if he'll kick nick with that leg?

Very likely. Nick has always been susceptible to kicks, especially leg kicks.

Wow, now that is a throwback fight card. Spider, Diaz, Leites, the Pitbull, JLau?! The hell happened to Alves anyway. I can still remember that flying knee piercing a hole through Matt Hughes years ago. Got handled by GSP though.

yea but from his training vids hes been using a shin guard, you know that has to be in the back of his mind

 

[Medulla Oblongata]

I'd like to see Moose/Anderson after Silva beats Diaz.

 

[Roman Brady]

win or lose for either fighter the decade+ of fukkery will never be forgotten

 

[RubioTheCruel]

This is such an odd matchup... I like Nick Diaz but he's a B-level fighter. How exactly does he beat Silva?

Read an interview with him where he said he probably won't ever kick as hard as he can again. He said the leg physically is fine but mentally he's still very much concerned.
