Apparently Nick Diaz is making noises about wanting to fight Colby.
Ridiculous. Also, nonsense.

In his professional career, Chad Mendes was:
0-5 against UFC champions (and they all knocked him out)
18-0 against everybody else.

Reminds me of Sean Shark. 36-4 and his only loses were to Frankie Edgar, BJ Penn, GSP and Matt Hughes.
pvz was much hotter when she was thin
ouch, put like this, he really did have a tough run.
I remember when he came back I laughed to a mate that Cain could find a way to blow his knee out and get KO'd within a minute. fuck me I felt bad on that one.

Holloway having fun with Chase Hooper. Good to see friendly interactions between random fighters every now and then.

Carlos Condit has been taken down more times (57) than anyone else in UFC history. He is only 27th for most takedowns attempted against, though.

I'm still gutted we missed out on Conor vs RDA. One of the greatest UFC staredowns ever, but that's all we got. RDA has been one of my favourites ever since he consumed Pettis' soul. Would have been either a tremendous fight, or a tremendous Alvarez-type performance from McGregor. Look at the intensity from RDA, ffs, and not an ounce of self-doubt or stage fright showing. He looks like a fucking Terminator.

I don't think fighters should be spamming 100% calf kicks like they're Thais, without having trained their shins for years for the impact. I think Conor cracked his leg on a kick, and then it shattered it when he planted his weight on a crooked angle and it twisted.

We now have 3 champion or former champions break their shins with kicks in the Octagon, and none of them is this guy:

Did this not seem weird, but also a completely normal, Joe Rogan thing to do?

UFC rankings are straight up nonsensical.
How the fuck is Chris Weidman currently a ranked middleweight? He's currently sitting just outside the top 10.
* 37 years old
* Been knocked out in 6 of his last 8 fights, a losing run that is now more than half a decade old. Not just lost 6 of 8. Been KOed six of the last eight times he's stepped into the cage.
* On what, his third round of reconstructive surgery on basically every single major joint on his body?
* Oh yeah, and he can't even fucking jog for the next few months, because in his last fight he snapped his fucking shin in half.
Yeah....... all of that added together sure sounds like there's only 11 guys in the division that are more of a threat to the champion right now, or better positioned to make a run at him.
Absolutely ridiculous. He's months away from even thinking about maybe accepting a fight, and he's going to be damned near 40 by the time he gets back, as even more of a physical wreck with a many-times-cracked chin. How the fuck any of these guys voted for Weidman to take a spot in the rankings from someone who actually has a future in the sport just mystifies me.

The last time the #12 ranked middleweight won two consecutive fights? Title fights vs Machida and Vitor.

i wonder if he will stop throwing the shin-impacting kicks before he breaks his own
