Is anybody going to try to catch the Askren/Hieron fight while watching 137?
Nick Diaz on fighting GSP:
"The only reason I'm getting this fight is because people want to see me take an ass-whipping right about now," he said. "So, alright, great. I worked for it. I'll take my ass-whipping, I'll take my money, and I'll go home."
Hey, at least he's a realist.

I read the Bellator title fight could have gone either way and that Hieron was very cocky at the end of the fight. Saunders will take care of Askren.

I dunno if this has been mentioned anywhere else but on the most recent episode of Wrestling Observer Radio Dave Meltzer was saying Silva is refusing to fight Sonnen because Chael took things too far by bringing up Anderson's wife. He doesn't want to do anything that would help him, like give him a big money title fight.

O I know it. If he was a true champ he would ask his boss to fight the guy that has been disrespecting him.
Bellator CEO Bjorn Rebney says events could move to new night in sixth season
I think they should move it back to Thursday or try Sunday, but it's probably hard to fill an arena when people have to work the next day. I have a feeling they're going to move it to Friday and interfere with HDNet cards.

Late Contender for Fight of the year 2011 announced: UFC 141 Cowboy Cerrone vs Nate Diaz. HYPE HYPE HYPE

Wow, Cowboy loves to fuckin fight. Awesome match up.
what would be contenders for fight of the year so far?
I think the following fights would be up there:
Maynard/Edgar 2
Maynard/Edgar 3
Diaz/Daley
Diaz/Penn
I'm sure I'm missing some fights though.
we'll see. like sien says wrestling is the foundation of the mma pyramid, so it would seem brock has a large advantage in that department. should be fun affair, both larger than life comic book characters squaring off in the octagon.

Ive enjoyed Daniel Cormiers fights, Sanchez/Kampman, Kongo/Berry, and the Jon Jones Pride crush.
Would probably give FOTN to either Diaz Daley or Diaz Penn, the TKO makes me want to give it to Diaz/Daley, but fuck the Diaz/Penn was just as exciting.
DKehoe said:
This isnt boxing, Uncle Dana makes fights happen (except the whole GSP/Silva fan boner there for a while)
Diaz/Penn wasn't really special in anyway, I wouldn't have it as a FOTY candidate. Kongo/Barry has to be considered for its ridiculous ending alone, but I guess it would fall under Finish of the Year. My homer pick would be Hominick/Aldo because that last round was intense (I'm biased because I was in the Rogers Centre). It would be a lock for FOTY if Hominick actually finished it.
EDIT: Also, HOLY FUCK @ Diaz/Cerrone. Can't wait for that one.

I think KO and comeback of the year would have to be the Kongo KO of HD. That comeback was ridiculous.
Best 1st round of any fight this year was Diaz/Daley round 1. Most action packed first round in recent memory.
I think ultimately I'm going to give Edgar/Maynard 3 FOTY honors. There was a lot of drama and build-up leading into the fight. The first round was a carbon copy of the 2nd fight. Edgar was out on his feet for like 3 minutes. And getting the knockout in the 4th round was something out of a Rocky movie. Hard to compete with it, bonus points for being a title fight.
Worst fight of the year goes to Reem/Werdum.
Fighter of the Year has to go to Jon Jones if he beats Machida in December. Hard to dismiss a guy if he beats Bader, Shogun, Rampage, and Machida in a calendar year. I hope the UFC has champions fighting 3 or 4 times a year.

Watch the press conference, and just a few thoughts. Dana seemed pissed/worried about something even at the beginning of it. Then he said the commission is following around Diaz for a urine sample. Maybe he was just dehydrated and couldn't piss. Or maybe hes covering up weed or something thats gonna get him in trouble with the commission. Fuck that would suck.
Also was hilarious watching Diaz shitting on UFC pay in front of Dana. Diaz being champ has to be the scariest prospect for Dana.

I think the best thing for Hatsu Hioki would be to come over here and train.
Edit: and Diaz could easily buy a house in Stockton for $200g's.
