I cannot believe Diaz just announced he has never paid taxes at his press conference. He is truly an enigma, wrapped in a riddle.

Yup, lucky Dana is gonna toss him out now that he has got his fight and can't bitch about the UFC not giving him his chance. Ma tax will come for him soon, he'll be back in a local promotion trying to get some money to pay back taxes to ma tax.

I've got a good question for you guys!

I'm sure most of you have seen Dan Hendersons KO over Michael Bisping at UFC 100 that won KO of the night and KO of the year in 2009, if not, here it is;

So my question is, would you take that exact same punch, the KO and the followup after for the amount Bisping won for losing that fight, $400K?

Yeah, I probably would too. I'd guess that put Bisping out of commission for a week or two, but shit, 400K? Idk about you, but I still haven't made 400K in the decade I've been in the workforce.. Not even close.

Anything you wouldn't take for that much? Struves broken jaw? Veras busted face from some Jon Jones elbows? 1 round with Wanderlei? lol

Depends on how much the hospital bill is. If Dana picks up the check I would get KO'd for that cash. I have never been but Hendricks described it as just going to sleep and waking up rested from a long nap lol. So I wouldn't mind that, hell I'm a little tired right meow.

I've been KO'ed three times, I think? :dunce: The pain sets in about 5 -6 hours later when your back to functioning normally.

For 400K, Fallon Fox could KO me. :bigjoint:

Stoppage due to cut on cavalcante was BS.

if fighters are not actively looking for a submission or doing damage with ground n pound, for entertainments sake they should be stood up. i used to love the yellow card in pride. hendricks was shooting and holding on for his life in the last round. gsp wasnt even trying to finish diaz. gsp seems like a great guy, but do i enjoy watching him fight? no. not for years has he been in a really entertaining fight. he wins his fights almost exclusively with positioning and stalling. there is an equal argument to be made that if you cant stop him from the take down and control then you dont deserve to win, but damn it makes for a boring fight. i hope hendricks puts his left hand right on st pierres chin, then we'd be guaranteed some entertaining welterweight championships.

theres been others that dana had to slap around and tell the were to boring. I seem to remember the spider was one? And whos that guy in the MFC that used to do that as well.

the spider just had one weird fight that dana got pissed about. i'm not an anderson silva fan, but he knocks mofos out. i cant complain about what he does in there. john fitch is boring as anyone. im not sure which guy from mfc you're referring to, but ben askren from bellator is horrible to watch. st pierre isnt the only one, just the most famous.

So who do you guys like watching the most?

I'd say Joe Lauzon, Anderson Silva, Ronda Rousey, Jon Jones, Cain Velasquez, Dan Henderson, Alexander Gustafsson, Fedor, Wanderlei, and CroCop back in the day in PRIDE, Rampage was a beast in PRIDE too! I like watching Brian Stann, I think he always brings the fight and is down to slug, his fights are usually pretty entertaining. Johny Hendricks too! That guy has some power in his hands! Condit is normally pretty exciting, excluding the Nick Diaz fight. The Korean Zombie, Jake Ellenberger and Rory MacDonald are really exciting, Ben Henderson, Nate Diaz, Gomi back in the day, too. Anthony Pettis is exciting, but I always want that guy to lose! I hate his arrogance! There's a lot of other guys I didn't name that are always fun to watch too, a few up and comers that not many people know about.

I was also wondering what sorts of fights you guys like to watch the most, straight stand up matches where it's nothing but a slugfest or a good technical ground battle? A wrestling match where the guy controls the top the entire fight, a judo throwing match?

Do you favor the KO over the submission?

I refuse to pay-per-view. fuck dana. So I watch a lot of HDNet fights. I prefer K1 or Kickbocking really. I find the ground game to be gay as hell for the most part. Dont get me wrong, some ground and pound or a really active submission game between to really top guys is fun to watch but for the most part I'd prefer standup.

I really like Faber. One of the best fights ever was him and little evil. I like a lot of japanese fighters like sakaraba, minowman and that cross dresser is hilarious.
I never thought of pettis as arrogant? Were'd you get that? Ive seen a few interviews with him and he seems smart and fairly normal.

Thats another thing. Did anybody ever notice most MMA fighters dont seem to be your everyday average football or basketball jock idiot meat heads? I'd say 90% are fairly articulate.

I'm not a big chael sonnen fan. but hes actually a really good commentator. Probably the best fighter/tv personality. Yea Bas is funny sometimes but hes really not very good as the color commentator guy.

I think chael and the voice would be a good team. "more kicks than a chorus line"

antonio mckee....good call. he was super boring. did you catch that arlovksi vs rumble johnson fight. that whole card was pretty entertaining. world series of fighting on nbc sports channel 159 on dishnetwork...i've never heard of it either but i looked it up so i could watch that fight...chael and the voice would be an excellent combo indeed.

@padawan i obviously love to watch nick diaz. i also enjoy carlos condit, nate diaz, gilbert melendez....anybody that is trying to finish the fight really. chuck liddell was my all time favorite. glover teixeira is entertaining. i don't mind ground fighting as long as positions are changing and guys are going for subs. i hate watching wrestlers maintain position and run clock. carlos condit is a good example of a guy who is entertaining both on the feet and on the ground....always bringing it. i favor the KO

that was a dumb video. It didnt show the whole thrid round which was the funniest shit. The guy on top layed there and the guy on bottom kept pounding him over and over. Top guy was getting beat to hell and wouldnt get up or change positions. Then at the end they were both so tired they were just paddy caking each other with blood everywhere. Not a great fight but somewhat entertaining at the end.

Did you have your speakers turned on?

The video wasn't posted because it was a great fight
