I like to hope and think every1 ain't really on dem roids and hgh but since the new testing it's tru dem Brazilians been falling like krazy and skipping fights.
If Diaz had a chance of winning this fight he wouldn't be in it. I'm not begrudging his talent but Conor was/is deep in training camp and Nate is coming in on 10 days notice.If Diaz win imagine the fukkery

Why not? They were talking about giving Anderson a title shot. Moose talks sht, rematches broken Machida or beats down Bisping and then gets a no. 1 contender match.So Moose waited two years after the fact to call Lyoto out for cheating

So looks like Faber was close to getting the Connor fight after all:

Anderson needs to retire ASAP 
"He felt a kick he landed in the first round, thought he cracked his leg and a screw moved," Dorea said. "That limited his movements, made him stop attacking for a moment. I asked him to attack, but he said ‘professor, I’m feeling it, I have no confidence’. I said ‘use your heart, you’re Anderson Silva, go after him’. That slowed him down a bit. Bisping attacked more, but less effectively. Anderson was more effective. I hope the commission reviews this result because this is bad for the sport. Even Dana Whitesaw that way. Everybody knows who won the fight."
Despite the pain, Silva is apparently out of danger.
"Silva did some exams after the fight. He suffered an injury, but the screw didn’t move," he added. "I don’t know how bad the injury was, but I know the screw didn’t move and he won’t need a surgery. He was in pain in the locker room, but he won’t need surgery. He was in pain, he couldn’t even put his shoes on, but he’s fine now."
The boxing coach scored the contest 48-47 in Silva’s favor, and thinks referee Herb Dean should have ended the fight after the third round since it took almost 90 seconds for the fourth round to start.
"I disagree (with the decision). First of all, I disagree with the knockout," Dorea said. "He landed the knee, (Bisping) went down completely out. Anderson stopped hitting him, celebrated. He couldn’t have pushed forward, but stopped. According to (Silva), he looked to the guy and he was bad. And Herb Dean begging him to come back... I never saw something like that in the fight world, the cornerman bringing the stool next to where he went down. The referee told him to come back up, and he didn’t. The fight is over. He couldn’t even go back to his corner. Almost two minutes have passed between rounds. The fight is over, winner by knockout.
"Let’s talk about the scorecards now. Anderson lost the first and second rounds, and won the third really well. How do you score a round like that? If the fight wasn’t over by knockout, you can’t score it (10-9) like the others. He won the fourth round, a close one, and won really well the fifth. To me, he won the fight."
And even if you score the fourth round for Bisping, Dorea says, the fight should have been a draw.
"The commissions are too subjective," he said. "How do you score the third round after that massacre the same way you score for a guy that threw 30 punches and missed 25, and those that landed were ineffective? His only effective punch was the one that knocked Anderson down, but Anderson’s punches were way more effective."
Silva’s manager suggests an immediate rematch between "The Spider" and "The Count" on May 14 in Brazil, and Dorea believes the former champion will be ready to fight again by that date.
"(Silva) said he wants to fight," said the coach. "He will take two or three weeks off to rest and come back. Anderson wants to fight in Brazil. I believe he will be ready to train again in two or three weeks, and then fight again in two or three months. That also shows who won the fight. Anderson can fight in two months. Can Bisping do the same after that beating?"
"He felt a kick he landed in the first round, thought he cracked his leg and a screw moved," Dorea said. "That limited his movements, made him stop attacking for a moment. I asked him to attack, but he said ‘professor, I’m feeling it, I have no confidence’. I said ‘use your heart, you’re Anderson Silva, go after him’. That slowed him down a bit.
