I read Nevada state boxing commission fine was ONLY 2 million, that leaves a meager 8 million left. Ho-hum.

Same substance as Jon Jones, an estrogen blocker. They must go to the same Doctor.

He'll also give up part of his purse to his opponent, who has called for his entire purse be given to him. I would not be surprised if that money is held up a bit because of the allegation.

And those 2 probably use the same "supplements". At least it wasn't vitamin A, anabolic steroids.

If you can't beatem', whine about it.

Meanwhile Evangalista "Cyborg" Santos has really become a cyborg.

In other news the Unified Rules of MMA have been changed.

http://www.mmafighting.com/2016/8/2/...a-new-rules-in

A grounded opponent can't just have the tips of his fingers on the mat anymore.

Jon Jones (if he ever comes back) can't walk around with his fingers pointed outwards.

Judging criteria was also changed a bit.

Rules go into effect next year.

So, who you got? Diaz or McGregor?

I got Diaz all day, any day over McGregor. We'll see what excuses McGregor will come up with for this loss.

[Dmpsix]

Nate Diaz for sure

When it goes to the ground, eventually Nate Diaz will make him tap. I feel he's just too big for Conor.

Conor made a living off of his left hook to guys he was a little bigger than, Nate Diaz makes this impossible because you just don't stop the Diaz brothers standing up.

Conor won't be any exception

[Kenny Camaro]

Diaz has got too much for Conner. He'd be better off fighting Mayweather, he'd still lose ,but get paid better

[Yendor]

I had never watched the first meeting between Diaz and McGregor all the way through and they showed it last night so I took a look at it. I am not sure how anyone can even think that McGregor has a chance in this one. Sure he cut Diaz, but Diaz was never in trouble. The Stockton Slap occurred on several occasions. I think Diaz gets Slap happy in this and really shows McGregor that he needs to mess with the 145 lb guys.

Wait, you're telling us that you predicted a majority decision?!

Mac just barely won that fight against a guy that is the 4th best lightweight in the UFC...there's no way any Mac fan would predict that he would win in any other way but KO.

I'm still a Skrap Pack fan, and I hated that decision. If you turn your back on your opponent to run away a point should be deducted from you. Or as Nate said, a yellow card for running like a wuss. I'm not talking stick and move, there were several times where mac turned his back and ran like a little man. Hey that rhymed!
