So cut Nick some slack and don't hate on him for his overuse of expletives; that's just the way he is. Making weed illegal is a little bit paranoid, don't you think? It's like saying God made a mistake , you know what I mean?
It's like, you've got the whole world and Earth and all its holy creations, right? Yeah right, I left weed in here. Oh, shouldn't have smoked that joint on the third day.
This is Diaz at his abominable and blasphemous worst. How dare he take our heavenly father's name in vain, or more to the point how dare he insinuate that the creator of heaven and earth puffs a joint every now and again? That said, Diaz could have a point here—those clouds up above do seem a tad bit suspicious.
Dude everybody. C'mon man. Even Hermes Franca. One day he comes in with that goofy haircut. Give me some real chocolate. Real fighters eat real chocolate. This interview, which was conducted by Jesse Holland of MMAmania, proves one thing: there ain't nothing fancy about the , son—no Jason "Mayhem" Miller-styled hair and no hydrogenated chocolate either. He wants a real fighter's chocolate; I presume something along the lines of Snickers—" Get some nuts.
I don't know about you guys, but I like my rock stars choking on their own vomit and uh , you know, what's it matter anyways? Every fighter I know wants to move there and wants to live there. You gotta be kidding me. Now all he sees is a group of MMA fighters paying for cheap thrills and, to boot, a grope of an overly inflated silicone implanted bosom.
Diaz should fret not. There are still a few empty holes in the Nevada desert, if the urge ever arises. I beat his ass. That's why I went to the ground and gogo'd him. Who in MMA gogo's anyone cept me. No doubt, Diaz has a certain amount of respect for Takanori Gomi, following his Round 2 submission of the latter via gogoplata.
The same submission that was executed to completion against Gomi was also the second successfully applied gogoplata in the history of the now defunct Pride FC. Georges is a nice guy. You know what I mean? Diaz is against Noons, submitted Gomi via gogoplata reversed to a no contest due Diaz testing positive for marijuana and defeated Hayato Sakurai by way of armbar submission. Sadly for Jon Fitch, he doesn't make the cut— his 12 second blitzkrieg at the hands of Johny Hendricks put paid to that.
Fighting in Stockton is going to be great for me. Stockton is a great fight town because if you drive long enough on some of these roads, you'll probably see a pretty good street fight. If you think you're hard enough and with brass balls to boot, then head to a town called Stockton. Item Information Condition:. Sign in to check out Check out as guest.

I glanced sideways to see whether my rowmates were judging me. In thirteen seconds Aldo has lost for the first time since Jungle Fight 5 yes a decade earlier, McGregor has the pound featherweight belt and is sitting atop the Octagon, Matt is like speechless, and there it is, I am a fan of MMA. Brazilian jiu-jitsu. For the first few tournaments, BJJ won. That is, the not particularly athletic Royce Gracie, through his command of mechanical and positional advantage, took down and controlled, then submitted via stranglehold or joint lock, much more imposing men.
The Gracie family, based in Rio, had invented Brazilian jiu-jitsu, Japanese judo adapted for self-defense on the ground against bigger opponents; seventy-odd years later they set up the UFC to showcase what it could do. In his first fight Royce Gracie took down an American boxer wearing only a single glove, in case he had to tap out with his other hand and submitted him. In the final he faced a Dutch karate champion who had viciously beaten a giant sumo wrestler and an extra-large kickboxer.
But Gracie calmly body-locked him, tripped him, rolled him over, and strangled him. Temporarily it was settled: BJJ was king. After that, Royce retired and Rorion sold his share of the business. Meanwhile the UFC was professionalizing.
It replaced Bloodsport -like tournaments with boxing-style match-ups, introduced judges, weight classes, and five-minute rounds, required gloves, banned Speedos, fish-hooking, head butts, and groin strikes. They used television strategically, broadcasting some fights and The Ultimate Fighter on male-oriented Spike TV, and later on Fox and its cable channels.
They bought out competing promotions and worked to get the sport legalized nationwide. And thus the UFC halfway cleaned up the mess that is two people giving each other brain damage in a cage. UFC on Fox 17 features Michael Johnson, among the fastest guys in the sport and the big favorite, against Nate Diaz, a year removed from a loss by unanimous decision to pound Rafael dos Anjos.
The brothers grew up poor in Stockton and trained for the burritos the older guys would buy them after practice. Nick, born in , turned pro in and became World Extreme Cagefighting champion two years later, after which he began bouncing between the UFC and competing promotions; Nate, two years younger, followed in This victory was overturned by a pot test, no contest, six-month suspension.
Nothing against him. I never did steroids in my entire life. I had to learn how to fight the real way and the right way. Two long, slim guys at pounds, Diaz left-handed, smooth rubbery muscle tone, goatee, no tattoos, punches himself in the chin eight times when his name is called. Like a boxer, heavy on the lead leg, which Johnson tries to kick out from under him as dos Anjos had, but Diaz picks it up to check with his shin.
No huge pain in it, just humiliation. The judges give the fight to Diaz unanimously, and Joe Rogan, the blocky bald comedian and UFC color commentator, enters the cage for the postfight interview. You want that real shit, right here.
Backstage, Diaz talks to Helwani about McGregor. For-real fight. Ninja Gaiden. American Ninja. Real motherfucking ninja. This ninja martial artist right here, I started that shit. That shit came from Stockton. Double Impact , Lionheart , Armageddon , all this. American ninja, Irish ninja, represent your shit, homeboy. T here are many promotions besides the UFC, in America and worldwide, but at this point only one even notional competitor: the Viacom-owned Bellator, which lately has been making fights with UFC castoffs and occasionally outbidding its rival for a legitimate talent.
Bellator is the former, a B-roll headlined by the third fight between Royce Gracie, now 49, and Ken Shamrock, 52; and co-main-evented by Kimbo Slice Kevin Ferguson , 42, and Dada Dhafir Harris , 38, former street fighters from Florida, where Kimbo became famous a decade ago for his backyard-brawl videos.
This is the kind of fiasco the UFC is good at avoiding. Twitter is quick to call it the worst or best fight in MMA history. Shamrock and Kimbo pop for steroids. By comparison, there were recorded boxing deaths between and Some MMA deaths are, predictably, due to brain hemorrhage, others to undetected heart conditions, and others to weight-related kidney issues. I n the UFC , you eat what you kill.
The payout escalates a few grand with each win, and gets negotiated higher only if you have leverage. He knows how to sell himself and sell a fight, and he makes millions and brags about making millions and has license to do almost whatever he wants, especially because he fights frequently and takes opponents on short notice and knocked out one of the five best MMA fighters ever in thirteen seconds. I am, in myself, my own belt.
Welterweight is for big normal men, and featherweight is small normal. Their crews start throwing water bottles and Monster Energy cans at each other, and a solitary cup of Starbucks. McGregor, barely five-nine, eats himself up to pounds without a weight cut and looks muscular but sort of puffy. The six-foot Diaz is skinny-fat fresh off vacation in Cabo and enters as a gigantic underdog.
The head games continue; McGregor has met someone who gives less of a fuck than he does. HOST : What are your financial dreams? A mansion, a Ferrari? DIAZ: Who gives a fuck? What the fuck is this, the money channel? The first round is all McGregor, and so are the first two minutes of round 2.
