King Mo > Can beat Mousasi

Conan : You are known as a striker. Is that correct? Tell me what that means.
Chuck : Well I like to punch people, or kick them.

Nick Diaz, AA, & Brett Rogers are supposed to be signing autographs too.

I just hope they have 2 separate lines this time, one to get in the weigh-ins and one for autographs. At the show in Miami you had to go through the autograph line to get to the weigh-ins unless you knew someone or were media.
