    I wasn't able to see it. Showed up at the place we usually go to watch the fights and it was packed full. First time it's been that full that early for a ufc fight.

    Had to get pizza, which was also hard to do because it was packed, and beer and head home to order it on ppv.

    Yeah the bar we went to had the same 2012 vibe going on. There were a lot of pissed off bros at the end!

    Someone on Reddit posted the story of how Nate got into BJJ:

    His brother was doing it and when Nate would come to training the other guys would buy them burritos at the taco truck next door afterward. Since Nate and Nick weren't getting fed at home that was reason enough for him to keep coming back.

    A rare Nate Diaz smile follows a Stockton Slap.

    I want to know what this fight would look like at 155. Conor was handling that fight until gassing (my guess from the extra weight) and being lit up with a beautiful 1-2 by Nate.

    Aldo has now stated that Conor has no punching power and has soapy hands. What does that even mean? How can a man who got knocked out in 13 seconds talk this much shit? My guess is that he's trying to talk his way to a rematch.

    I predict we'll never see McGregor at 170 again. His power didn't transfer to the bigger boys. Like Nate said, he hit hard but nothing I haven't felt before. It's too much of a jump IMO. Hubris lead him to that fight and now he knows size does matter.

    I think Nate does just as well if they fight at 155 because Nate is not a big Welter Weight. Landing shots on a Diaz is not a great accomplishment, those boys are not elusive... just damn hard to put away. That said, Nate did make Conor miss a lot and expend energy.

    Wouldn't he still be fighting at 168 or so if they had weighed-in at 155?

    A lot is being made of McGregor going up "two weight classes" but Nate is a lightweight who is 0-2 at welterweight, IIRC.

    And yeah, sounds like pretty much Aldo can do right now.

    Would Conor put on 13 lbs overnight though? I imagine maybe 5-7 lbs? I think his energy and gas tank would be a bit better. Obviously Nate's length would still give him troubles.

    Erick Silva has apologized for the fake glove tap with Nordine Taleb at this event.

    People don't know anything about me, but still judge me '
    people do mistakes, they all do, I, you, he, or they, we all make mistakes and we must first recognize the errors rationally and not do it again.
    I admit that in the heat of battle I let my emotional Act and ended up doing something not worthy of the martial art, at the time I confess I went through unnoticed, more analyzing the video I'm not saying I was disloyal, or cheater, because there is nothing in the rule that saya it can't do that.
    More like a martial artist I was anti ethical,
    Also does not say that the defeat was karma or deserved so it was by exactly merits of a perfect punch from my opponent who applied very well, and trained to get me that way.
