He was asked in the presser why he didn't try to finish, he said he wasn't going to leave himself open. Made it seem like he was just going to keep doing what he was doing, but as you say, if he did that he may have ended it.

BJ ran over after he brutally finished an opponent, dabbed his gloves in his blood, licked it off, and was praised.

BJ's time is up as an elite fighter.

He should stick to marquis fights.....ala.....Tito/Forrest....and make bank.

I don't think he can beat the top 5 at LW now.

I'm a Penn fan, but even I was like "WTF, why aren't you finishing this fight?" He had Penn dead to rights in the second round.

All stems from Greg Jackson. Sport killer.

Lol.

I cannot remember the last time someone finished a Diaz.

The last time someone finished Nate was 2006, and it was Hermes Franca in WEC.

Easier said than done.

And for Nick, apart from a cut stoppage from Noons, you'd have to go back to the Jackson win by TKO in 2002 for the last time he was finished.

I mean, these two are as close to be unfinishable as they come.
