I don't care to see RDA fight much really. I dunno why but he doesnt' excite me much. That might change. Sometimes I need to see a fighter more to get interested in them. He's just kind of bland and generic.
Honestly conor brought some excitement to 155, none of the fighters really interest me

Rda seems like a interesting fighter, I'll defiantly be checking him out his next fight

At what weight? Unless Cruz zaps himself down to flyweight he's too big and strong for MM to grapple and MM is too fukking short to ever win a standup with Cruz. He cant hurt him either, why the fukk does anyone wanna see this :heh:
Gotta see if Cruz's body could hold up to five with MM

Why the fukk wouldnt it? Everyone elses does.

You're talking like MM is going to hit Cruz. That only happens if you make Cruz go down. Cruz is a big bantamweight, why would you wanna see him drain himself and go down? If MM comes up, he's not going to wrestlefukk Cruz, Cruz has some of the best TDD in MMA and he is strong.

Its a stupid ass matchup :mjlol: Let MM keep fighting guys his size

Or send Faber down there, that atleast makes more sense

I wouldn't say Nate stepped up because he is a UFC team player. He knows this will be his only shot at McGregor, a fukkery shot where everyone else before him has declined.

The UFC hype machine isn't gonna give Nate Diaz wins in the cage, but it will make his fights bigger and he'll get paid more. In 2015-16 a fighter like Connor (very similar to Diaz) now runs the show. Diaz was Connor before Connor, let Diaz have a chance to run with the ball and see what he can do.

Similar, but it's easier to push Conor who sells his fights before the weigh-ins, during the fight, and in between as opposed to Nate who no-shows multiple pressers/open workouts, you know?

It's unfortunate too because The Diaz Bros are gold whenever they are around a mic and Nate would sell almost as many fights if he opened up more and showed as much enthusiasm for the tedious things as he did in the octagon.

Just because Diaz talks ish don't put him in the same category as Connor for promoting a fight. As Connor does dbl the media and press tours that Diaz ever does. Shoot I still remember the days of Nick Diaz refusing to do half the media stops.

Then the real key is Connor doesnt insult the ufc and Dana in every single public presser. Diaz continually bashing ufc brass in interviews, arguing or begging for ish. Come on, enough is enough. Uve gotten more fights in ufc than 99% of the Mma fighters in US. Stop bashing, be thankful for what you've gotten cous there's hundreds if not thousands of Mma guys dying for a chance and a shot like uve had and continually have been given.

Connor respects that, and that's y he gets da push, your brother nick has headlined huge cards and still argues no respect no money, he hasn't won a fight since 2011. Time 2 quit yapping and jus be Thankful.

Yeah Diaz not only one the fight I honestly think he won the battle of words too with his post fight with Joe. Because that people start turning into wrestlers when they get hit is a gold mine

I like Nick but that's real shyt, his best win over the past decade was over a :flabbynsick: BJ Penn at WW. When is his suspension over anyway, this year?
