Fun facts:

-Anderson Silva and Nick Diaz are a combined 0-4 in their last 4 title fights
-Nick Diaz hasn't fought in 22 months

-Despite losing his last two title fights via TKO, and despite this being Diaz's first fight at 185, Anderson gets a title shot with a win
-Joe Rogan says Nick Diaz has the best boxing in the welterweight division, possibly in all of MMA

them feels if anderson beats wiedman in the rematch and retires with the belt. very unlikely, but if he somehow pulls it off..

[scooterbrah]

kinda surprised miesha ended up on the prelims considering she is ranked like #2 and whoever she is fighting is #3ish iirc.


really have no one i care about on this card. assume anderson will win, co-main is a tossup, and lauzon likely catching some zzzzz's against iaquinta. no opinion on the rest of the card at this time.

u wut!? I mean really... what MMA fan isn't excited to watch Anderson, especially knowing he'll be gone for good soon. Gastelum is a rising contender, and Lauzon is always fun to watch win or lose.

[mmaguy90]

More Diaz haters lol. Always from the same people posting the same gifs

it is what it is. i might get more excited in a few days

[olbigfish]

Watching for Gastelum. I'm excited to see what the future holds for that pudgy work horse.

Had sushi with Ian McCall the other week. Hope he kicks Lineker's ass.

[Srbija87]

jon jones, no suspension for coke, nick diaz.....1 year suspension for weed... lol

Nick is entertainment, good for the sport, and I actually like him because hes a fun fighter but for this fight I have to go for Anderson.

Guy comes across as a complete kunt.

[Brad_Pitt]

Hope Anderson retires after this one. And I hope he gets a nice win.

The UFC are going to push him to fight The Chris again and that's an awful idea.

Go out on a high.

So i talked to Dana he say, "So you ready for back?" I say yeah, I'm exciting for back, for back for fight my fans because i talked with my wife, my home, my kids, they say, "Dad, please, no back." And i say, "I need to back because this part my life, fight part my life." And, my wife, my kids, they, "OK, dad, you happy, go back." - Anderson Silva.

cherry picking gifs is easy, why so salty towards diaz? did he phuck your girl?


i'll never understand haters

[EnriqueBrah]

nick makes a couple bad punches during gsp fight, better make gifs and call him bad

[sloop]

I dont think Silva deserves another shot at Weidman. Enough is enough.

^is normal

Always enjoyed Diaz's fights, same with Anderson. Only way it'll end up being a bad fight is if they're both rusty as ****, which honestly I can't see being the case.

Yeah, this is a weird call. Leites (11) and Boetsch (13) is on the main card, but Tate (2) and McMann (4) isn't? Gives a lot of credence to the idea that Dana White doesn't care about women's MMA if Rousey isn't involved.

[Horny Goat Weed]

He cares about what sells PPVs. Womens fights without Rousey don't sell PPVs.

[HouseStarkfff]

You're right. I rather see a guy like Mousasi or Strickland fight Weidman.

[miscHelix]

I cant wait for this fight. Huge fan of both Anderson and Diaz, both seem to have a respect for eachother too.

rousey can't carry a card either...

[Abe828]

Man Anderson is 39 years old now. It's going to be a good fight and I'm not sure who's going to win because Silva is way out of his prime and he's getting old now.

Maybe for people to view the undercard? I mean he did the same to Urijah Faber.

Also there are some women's strawweight and atomweight fights on the next few cards.

Seemed nice to me. All of the sushi chefs adored him, so he's not a complete tool.
