All Right, folks; ANDERSON vs DIAZ
People say they all want the truth, but when they are confronted with a truth that disagrees with them, they balk at it as if it were an unwanted zombie apocalypse come to destroy civilization.
Ah, FUCK the shit out of that place. Rogan is a typical money hungry yank wank, can't stand him. Also they banned Uncle Megatherium after one post, can't abide with that.
Here are my picks btw: Diaz, Gastellum, Lauzon, Boetsch and Alves.

Yeah I saw that cropped version of my poster on Reddit MMA. Was posted by some dude named JimmyCartersBalls... I called him out but he said he didn't do it, he found it that way and re-posted.
How can I know if he's telling the truth or not
But what an asshole thing to do. I mean WHY? You don't fuck with someone's art, man.

Ive been thinking and thinking about this fight and how it makes absolutely zero sense to make this match.
Nick Has not had the stellar record to even consider making this fight in my opinion, so why make it?
heres my thoughts so far:
Now, Silva, coming off 2 losses and a horrific injury that retires most fighters.
he needs a tune up fight, no question, if he is even thinking of getting back in there with that monster weidman. He has to test himself to see if he can still do this.
so they pick Nick Diaz. See this is where it gets weird, Nick Diaz has to come up in weight to make this fight, to fight arguably pound for pound the best fighter the MMA world has ever produced. even a marginal Silva should be able to manhandle Diaz.
It doesnt make sense until you consider:
Diaz whines and moans about wanting big fight and title shots to make money. fine, Hes a big draw I get it.
Silva needs a tuneup fight and they throw Diaz at him. So this is a pretty big fight, The UFC is languishing right now and they need big fights to bring numbers in, this fight is guaranteed to do just that.
what are silvas benefits? if he wins, he was supposed to win anyway and they build him up for the big rematch against weidman. Thats it, its a lose lose scenario for Silva, a very risky fight if hes ill prepared.
If he loses, he should retire, as he couldn't even beat an undersized Nick Diaz.
Hell, even if he beat Nick, but not decisively, it doesn't bode well for his chances against a rematch with Weidman. So again a lose lose.
now back to Nick, If Nick wins, he will likely get the title shot he wants, hell he will have earned it for sure. Now if he loses, but still puts on a good show, he can still stay relevant and get some more fights,
win win for diaz.
My thinking is they arent looking to build up silva for a one off fight against weidman, The UFC needs to build and maintain marquee fighters, something they are sorely lacking. And thats what I see happening here.

They're killing Silva with this fight man. Uncle Mega has hinted on it or even said it outright and that's what it is. Masatos shoop encapsulates what 'dis be about.
SO happy to see Nick win last night... What a finish!!!! No one has jitz like that in the whole UFC. WAR DIAZ
Also, LOL @ all the denial going round saying Silva won? lol wtf Some peeps just cant face reality, even when he gets KTFO. Spider fans delusional.
