I get on a 3 hour plane trip 10 minutes before this main card. Are there any replays that happen right after the event or do I have to wait to torrent it the next day or something?

If you're including ppv replays, yes they usually replay it continuously for a couple days. No discount though.

They should replay Nick's entire rant from that presser where he talked about Stockton and not learning how to have a mortgage.

Also Nick's handlers do such a better job at making authentic looking internet posts with Nick's brand name: http://youtu.be/M3cDniHpKLo

@ArielHelwani - Diaz was supposed to be here 45 mins ago. They are looking to track him down. Still no sign of him at the workouts.

@ArielHelwani - Cesar Gracie just told me Nick is not coming to the workouts. "7 hour plane ride while cutting weight is tough. Decided to rest up."

@ArielHelwani - Cesar Gracie tells me now: "Dana previously OK'ed Nick not being at the workout."

@MikeBohnMMA - Dana White is on Jim Rome right now: "I literally just found out he missed the open workouts."

@MikeBohnMMA - White says if Nick Diaz wins at UFC 158 he'll fly him to Vegas and they are going to have a talk. If he misses anything he'll be stripped.

lol

Love both of these fighters, but will be rooting for Diaz just to shake things up and hopefully force GSP out of his hugwars.

As the fellas of Co-Main Event podcast point out, the smartest thing the UFC has done lately is to also schedule the two top WW contenders to fight this weekend so one of them could jump in against St Pierre in case Diaz flakes out.

I used to love GSP, back in the Matt Hughes fights era. I refuse to pay to watch him fight any longer. It's the same lay n "ground n pound" every single fight. I could care less who wins.

I'm also done apologizing for GSP, Brett. Maybe one day he'll somehow TKO an exhausted opponent and people will pretend he's "back", but a seasoned mixed martial viewer can see that Georges budo spirit is broken. The thrill is gone.

The flight plan I just filed with the agency list me, my men, Dr. Pavel here. But only one of you!
I don't really care if GSP is boring or whatever, I've always hated both Diaz brother and their stupid fucking tough guy grimacing faces.

Wish they'd do it more often. It's the closest thing they could ever get to a Tournament style setup. Winner of Co-main fights winner of Main event. What a concept!

If something were to happen where Diaz couldn't/wouldn't fight, GSP wouldn't take a fight with Ellenberger on 3 days notice, especially not with Greg "Sport-killer" Jackson in his corner.

They've been doing that for awhile now, just to cover their asses. It's smart, with all the injuries and whatnot. It allowed Condit to fight a top 5 guy.

I think this is their new approach. UFC 160 has the Heavyweight title and then JDS/Hunt as co-main. 162 has the Middleweight title and then 3 other middleweight bouts on the main card.

Dana White says Nick Diaz tried to get Georges St. Pierre to fight him in a hotel in 2011

Uncle Dana said:
"Nobody has talked about this, I haven't said anything about it, but at one of the fights, the one where he really starts calling Georges out, he was chasing Georges around the hotel and like yelling at him and stuff. Georges thought he was going to try to fight him in the hotel. He was just waiting for the elevator doors to open and see Nick Diaz,"

...

"Like at the last fight where he said all that stuff after his last fight when he said all that stuff about Georges, he was really messing with Georges bad at the fight, like trying to fight him at the hotel. That really pissed Georges off."

Really sucks Rory got injured. Condit is going to pick apart Hendricks and derail his hypetrain screwing him out of a shot against GSP. Hendricks was the only interesting contender after Diaz. I guess this means Silva/GSP will finally happen?

That's probably how this will all play out. I'd rather see something exciting happen though, throw a wrench in the whole thing.

"UFC and Dana are selling you people wolf tickets and you're eating them right up"?

Yeah way to promote the fight and the org you work for Nick, lol

that press conference was amazing. Dana getting pissed at Ariel, Nick asking GSP if he's ever had a gun pointed at him, Nick saying GSP is a roider, and basically saying he's still smoking weed.

I don't get why everyone is cheering Ariel being yelled at.

Is there anyone else who has posted the quality of interviews he has posted for this event? Great interviews, constant updates and exclusives on his twitter. You would think fans would support the guy.
