Whats the timetable for his return? Will he be able to go this year? There is literally no other fight to make in that division

Not exactly sure, but I know it will be awhile. End of the year maybe if everything goes well for him. Eddie Wineland has been on a nice streak and it wouldn't shock me if he got a shot before Cruz is ready.

[jackswstd]

Just get Frankie to drop to 135 and give him his what 3rd straight title shot.

That 157 card must be shaping up to be a financial flop. I have never seen them loop ads together this frequently

im gonna be turning my illegal stream off after hendo machida, thats the ME as far as I'm concerned.

When is that fight happening? It would be awesome if Dana drops Nick and offers Silva instead. Put crazy pressure on GSP, who would more then likely turn down the fight

March 16th.

George's would immediately go if they offered that.



I hope this is fight hype and not real. Dana needs to fire Diaz on ppv after he gets held down for all 5 rounds if he's actually still acting a fool coming off a loss /suspension and still being gifted a title shot

Dana...Why lie?

John Morgan ‏@MMAjunkieJohn
Dana said Nick Diaz has already no-showed three planned "Countdown" tapings. Said he's costing them a sh*tload of money but isn't worried.



Update: Following the posting of this story, Jonathan Tweedale, a lawyer with the Nick Diaz camp, contacted MMAFighting.com to refute White's claim.


"Dana is mistaken," Tweedale wrote via e-mail. "There is no 'crew rolling around Stockton,' and Nick did not 'miss' three interviews.??

"In fact, several earlier dates were arranged without Nick's knowledge and with no notice to Nick. When Nick learned what had happened, I assisted him in arranging a date and time directly (Thursday, February 14). Nick arrived early and was in good spirits at that February 14 date -- the one and only date he knew about in advance. Nick requires things to be done in an organized and orderly manner. That is the kind of professional he is."

^^^^@Nick the Boss...he's not playing around

Dana was talking about the last one. It was obvious from the scrum video imo. The writers are morons.

Supposedly Barnett was going to be offered a fight with JDS had he joined the UFC. Coulda been a fun lil scrap. Oh well, the pro wrestling fan in me likes Barnett but I wasn't too keen on him coming in because he's proven to be unreliable and seemingly unapologetic on top of it
