On Fox tomorrow- Cowboy vs. RDA and JDS vs. Overeem

[Bernman]

Nate said in the post fight interview with Ariel that Joe Silva told him the fight was on.

Who knows if that's just Diaz speak.

What fight are you referring to?

Dos Anjos/McGregor
McGregor/Diaz
Pettis/Diaz

[REDDzone]

Diaz/McGregor.

[High 5]

Here's the link to the uncensored and surprisingly coherent Diaz interview for anyone interested: https://streamable.com/9pm9

Also, my favorite gif of the night:

I really love it when the fights are on Fox so I can DVR it and skip all the bull. I don't have to hear 50 times about the fights that are coming up. I know what fights are happening.

I forgot how much I love watching the Diaz Bros fight. When he was pointing that was hilarious, but Nate should know better than to go on a swearing rant on Fox. I agree with Bern, I would love to see Diaz vs. Pettis. Arguably the best quantity striker against arguably the best quality striker.


Also LOL @ Rogan saying, "This is the best Nate has ever looked!" 50 times. Really? Better than he looked against Cowboy? Better than he looked against Jim Miller?

I guess Overeem gets the next title shot, but I'm not too excited about that.

RDA looks really good, and Cowboy is still a slow starter. I feel like any good standup fighter who can start blitzing Cowboy will overwhelm him.

[Bernman]

When I was watching Cowboy walk out, it confirmed to me he had next to no shot in that fight. His body language was so stiff, upright. Especially in big fights, it typically takes him a long while to feel comfortable, if he ever does. Didn't get his money's worth on the sport's psychologist. That behavior is really conditioned. Seriously, maybe he should start downing Buds before his big fights. That would be his performance enhancer.

As far as the guy who lit him up, whose been widely speculated to be on traditional ones, he still looked real good, but look at Overeem, even though he won last night too against a virtually shot fighter. These changes don't happen much overnight. They take time. If he truly has nothing to hide and is self-righteous this is all happening clean due to hard work, then he'd submit to the WADA protocol throughout his next camp, if challenged. Conor or whoever, it might be worthwhile for him to pay for it even. Hendricks backing out told us a lot by itself.

Stipe / Arlovski winner IMO.

Cowboy seems super mental to me. The stuff with Nate really got to him. Then he isn't a big smack talker but he talked a lot to Anthony and apparently it freaked him out how pissed Anthony got about that.

That's actually why I would pick Conor over him. I think he would be compromised mentally.

That Overeem left hook sure looks familiar



K1 LEVL STRYKING!!1!

Decent night of free fights. Some of the prelims were very interesting & exciting!

Waits patiently for the UFC to announce what is going in the 145/155 division. I would like to see Frankie vs Conor.

Hopefully it's Frankie vs. Conor and RDA vs. Khabib.

[REDDzone]

They could do RDA vs Khabib on the three year anniversary of Khabib's return.

[Jasen777]

Khabib does need a tuneup fight. Maybe two.

[Shaazzam]

I just wonder if he can have two camps and stay healthy.

[High 5]

Healthy Khabib is a myth told to scare lightweights into training harder.

Definitely. I hope Stipe wins so he gets a title shot, he deserves it.
