Connor was ready with bringing up Melendez and ShieldsPeople been put under the ground for less, Diaz watch your back
Nah but Diaz kinda outta line though. That's not gamesmanship, that's just slander. In this age it don't take much for baseless rumor to grow legs. Even if Connor never tests positive, people will still wonder because a fighter like Nate said it. Nate aint no household name, but most mma fans will know the Diaz bros.
But what if he's right?
Lol why the fukk I type all that defending Connor. Fukk this dude up, Nate!

Anderson could be a little under the weather...................
Or Anderson channeling Bruce Lee right there, fixing to Robert Wall Bisping through the cage. Bisping aint even know it.
Bisping's gonna get fukked up
Just what the fukk happened to Bisping anyway? He'd get a run, but could never win the #1 contendership fight. Is he still a fulltime fighter? Gatekeeper status I suppose. I think I scored Bisping over Sonnen in their fight, but the judges said nah. That Hendo dirty elbow drop might have killed all his hype.Bisping's gonna get fukked up
I'm not gonna count out Bisping automatically yet. Silva did NOT look impressive vs Nick Diaz to me, and I thought Diaz was gonna be a walking punching bag and get TKOd. He got a monster chin, but still, shoulda got lit up.
I got Silva winning, but most likely by UD.
That was his first fight back coming off of a layoff from a serious ass injury though...it was to be expected, besides he's getting up there in age, he's not gonna be the prime Silva. You are also lightweight discrediting Diaz who not only has a solid chin, but sick hands as well. One of the best boxers in MMA history hands down. However, Bisping cannot hang. He's always been pretty much gatekeeper status at least in my eyes. His strength is his kickboxing and even then Silva is leaps and bounds ahead.
Diaz has a chin for sure, one of the best ever. Maybe Silva was going conservative because he respects Nicks hands (though Nick was hella taunting), but the reason I ain't like Silva performance vs Nick was Nick shrugging off Silva WAY too easily. Like this is Anderson Silva, not BJ Penn. No way Nick shoulda been able to just break and push off Anderson that easily without eating something in return. Nick got the chin, hands, cardio and the BJJ, but he never been known for strength/power. I was legit shocked. I wasn't expecting Anderson vs Leben level of dominance, but I thought for sure we'd see the 2nd round killer instinct return.

Basically he lost every bout that was about to give him a title shot
Ya know, I'm sitting here thinking, while Dana wants to push this narrative that Aldo turned down the fight out of not being ready or some shyt, you noticed he kinda left out whether or not it would be for the 145 title or not. I'm guessing it would have most likely not been a title fight offer and if so, I could totally understand why Aldo would turn it down. Dana does tend to lie and bend the truth alot like a female.

McGregor is right though. The belt is secondary to him now. Like Mayweather. It doesn't matter if he has the belt anymore. People just want to watch him.
