UFC 137: B.J. Penn vs Nick Diaz fight announced for Oct. 29 in Las Vegas

Nick Diaz is back. For now.
The former Strikeforce welterweight champion, who was pulled from his main event fight opposite Georges St. Pierre just yesterday, has been re-inserted into the UFC 137 line up to take on B.J. Penn at the Mandalay Bay Events Center in Las Vegas, Nevada, on Oct. 29, 2011.
Company president Dana White breaks the unlikely news:
"This is crazy but here we go again! You wanted it so you got it. Penn vs Diaz Oct 29th in Vegas>what a week!!! I love it!"
Diaz disappeared earlier this week, missing several mandatory press events to promote his upcoming clash with the Canadian. His absence, as well as inability to communicate his whereabouts -- even to his right-hand man and trusted trainer, Cesar Gracie -- compelled White to switch gears.
Carlos Condit was unexpectedly tapped to replace Diaz, which left the Hawaiian temporarily without an opponent.
It didn't last long. In fact, it was a deal Penn could not refuse.
Diaz, just 24 hours removed from his public spanking, has been "punished" with a co main event slot against "The Prodigy." It is certainly a far cry from being released, which was certainly an option that White had to consider based on Diaz's bizarre behavior.
Perhaps he got the message, grew up or offered another sideways apology. On the other hand, perhaps White feels he may have overreacted after finally speaking with the Stockton slugger.
Time will tell.
UFC 137 features a re-worked main event between St. Pierre and Condit. In addition to the Penn-Diaz co-featured fight of the night, two heavyweight clashes -- Roy Nelson vs. Mirko Filipovic and Cheick Kongo vs. Matt Mitrione -- are also scheduled for the main card pay-per-view (PPV).

Stop complaining!
Fedor "The Can Crusher" Emeilianko IS NOT THE BEST HW EVER , in fact he sucks! he has the most padded record in the history of any combat sport, scratch that in the history of any sport. He has not changed as a fighter , he is still just as good as he was then, only difference is he isn’t fighting freaks and nobodies, I , along with many others have been duped into believing he is great, when clearly he is NOT! -I hate you the Dragon...one day
Oh so now you're complaining too?!

Sometimes fighters get hurt before a fight.
Sometimes you rethink things after you buy the competition or sign a new tv deal.
Can’t rec on phone. But that’s exactly what this is. Was brilliant having Gracie call in during the press conference

MASSIVE FIGHT!!! I think if Diaz uses his length properly he could end up causing problems for Penn…..what a great fight though, could end up being a foty candidate with both those guys fighting style. I hope BJ comes into this fight in really good shape so we can see three rounds without him running out of gas cause Nick is going to put the pressure on him.
If bj shows up in shape and motivated, diaz won’t last 3 rounds

If a motivated BJ shows up.
I thought that old excuse for why he loses died after the second Edgar fight.

“A motivated BJ Penn is somebody not to mess with, and you know what? I’m pretty motivated, I’m pretty damn motivated right now… Everybody wants to talk about how hard they train going into their fight, and I just want to tell you how hard I rested going into this fight.”
Sometimes, as hard and as difficult as it may be to believe, the opponent just might happen to be a better fighter on the night

This is not what I wanted
This is not what anyone wanted. I wanted Diaz v GSP. I wanted Penn v Condit. I hope Diaz really pays for this and I hope this fight does zero ppv’s.
Actually this is better and makes more sense than the original match-ups (in my opinion)
At first I was pissed. But Diaz/Penn is a dream fight
Diaz/Penn is proof that life is in fact fair.

i can pull out the original nes and play that game right now
although it would require some energy and effort.
i would have to secure the game drawer precisely at the correct angle with duck tape since the top of the housing is missing and it wont click and stay down
but before i even get to that point i would have to blow into the game for like 5 min and tap it on my thigh and then rock the game side to side after its been inserted until i get the ding ding ding and its time for little mack to embark on his journey to three title fights and one super duper unification bout
that was funny
they could make a bunch of these, lets keep it going with this one.
i wish i could kick your kid in the testicals so that you can feel the pain that i feel.

Yeah exactly
Just a bullshit stoppage. Hughes wasn’t putting any power behind any of those shots
Danago should be banned from mmamania
Nick did get TKO'd due to strikes
By Jeremey Jackson. Nick was 19 years old. It was his 5th professional fight. And he redeemed himself by defeating Jackson two times.
To roughly quote Nick on the reasoning behind his loss, “It’s my fault, I was being dumb out there using karate when I shouldn’t have.”
Here is the video of the fight.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oQymz5lPpMM
Diaz is such a sore loser, you see him trying to pull away from the ref, like he got screwed.
He was getting that head beat in, LOL
BJ rib injury is what gave Hughes that lucky win.
http://edu.mmaweekly.com/ufc-doctor-verifies-penns-rib-injury-2
That is why I had no doubt after the absolute beating Penn was giving Hughes before that point in that match, that he was going to destroy Hughes in the third fight. Only those who thought BJ gassed in that match thought differently.

Yeah you might not get your wish if Nick uses his length right…..with his boxing constant pace N pressure along with the reach advantage he will have might be the recipe for a W against BJ. I don’t think BJ has ever been pushed or pressured the way Nick will, although BJ might use his wrestling the way he did against Fitch and pull out a decision.
you gotta be kididng.
As proven, ULF has superior pick-em knowledge than I. I tip my hat to thee sir.
Don't pity those who tried and lost. Pity those who never had the courage to try in the first place.
Nick should have been CUT
But I can’t say i don’t love this fight.
Damn this is the second dick that Nog had to pull out of my ass and beat me over the head with! As couture wasnt bad enough. Dont doubt NNR or even more Big Nog.

He was unprofessional but cutting a guy as talented as Nick and now as notorious as him is bad for business
Yes he’s the most unreliable guy in the company but cooler heads prevailed and now this show has 2 huge fights that everyone is talking about. The UFC have done it again.
Anderson Silva is the P4P GOAT
31-4 (14-0 UFC), 9 successful title defences, 10 championship wins
The numbers don't lie
I have hated Nick and Nate for quite along time.
My only hope is that he loses to Penn, gets fed to Fitch, and gets a KOS lay fest. He will then have lost all face and value and be booted out.

MMA fandom is such silly shit……how can you “hate” someone that puts on a nonstop exciting fight every single time he preforms for you? It’s like some of you care more about the silly shit outside the cage than the actual fights getting your panties in a wad about how someone acts putting that above how they fight which is suppose to be why you are watching MMA lol like a bunch of f’ing girls imo The fickle ass MMA fans are the most annoying human beings known to man, MMA is about fighting not some silly girly gossiping bullshit that goes on so often. Don’t mean to go off on you in particular Cali, I bitch about this stuff all the time so not all directed at you man, no offense meant.
Modusopks man you aint lying. These mma fans are the most easily offended, sensitive,
mother fuckers on the planet. Hanna Montana fans have thicker skin. These dudes act like, well I can’t say what they act like because I’ll offend everybody and be labeled homophobic even though I have no phobia of homos. I don’t give a damn if Brock jumps on his wife, Brett Rogers beats her up, Bisping Spits on her while Chael is selling her a house that he already sold to 3 different people, with Nick Diaz passing a blunt to Frank Mir in the and Jon Jones…..well ok I still don’t know what he did. Fuck all that personal shit I pay to see these guys beat the shit out of each other. Fuck a press conference It would have sucked anyway, Diaz would gave babbled incoherently and GSP would have said the same fill in the blank speech. Diaz gives you your moneys worth every fight. That’s why they didn’t cut him, that’s why they switched him out of a fight that most likely have been 25 boring minutes into a potential fight of the night. And the he got more publicity and press by NOT publicly going to the presser.

True,
But what do you do with a guy who hasn’t gone to any of the formations he’s been told to go to? Do you keep bothering to give him chances. And we can’t think of this as a deployment to Iraq or Afghanistan, but more as a MEU to Japan or the Mediterranean. This was going to be Diaz’s biggest and most rewarding fight. Do you continue to reward him for such behavior?

MEU was chill/fun

Jimmy McNulty wannabe.
Thats the point.
MEUs are fun and rewarding. For Diaz, a title fight is rewarding.
As for your second point of just imposing a fine. That might work, but does he really deserve to be on the biggest stage in the world fighting for the title if he can’t complete simple contract obligations? What would Zuffa do if he won and their own champ wouldn’t do press conferences? Also, I don’t think the fans are losing out, these are just as good of fights as they were originally.

I think he should of been fined and sternly warned that if he pulled any kind of stunt like that again he would be cut. I honestly do not care about the press conf either but I understand you can’t go all willy nilly doing what you please when you are employed by the UFC but this kind of rebellious shit is much of the reason why Diaz is so popular, Dana knew what he was getting in a way……I guess Nick told him he would stop acting that way or something though.
You can’t tell me the fickle what have you done for me lately fan does not get on your nerves…..no way. A fighter can go from the most unstoppable force on the planet to nothing but a washed up can within two fights or can go from a over hyped fighter who is only popular cause fans swing from his nuts to a world beating super stud in the same number of fights, it’s beyond ridiculous. What other fans of a sport are like that? Who turns on their favorite team after a couple loses? It’s gay.

nick is being rewarded by still fighting on the card…against bj…in the co main…
we are rewarded in the same way…
bj wins all the nick haters will rejoice…
nick wins the past 24 hours will be long forgotten…by most….
p.s. if nick wins his post fight mumblings could be epic…

I guarentee you that his Co-main event spot ain’t paying shit compared to what the title fight was gonna pay. He is getting punished.

penn's got it. he's been training for a more skilled diaz in carlos condit. not a huge change up for him only difference is he's fighting someone with less power, less skill and is afraid of people
where as switching from training for gsp to bj penn is a huge difference. diaz has probably spent most of his training callusing his back up so he doesn’t get bed sores from 25 minutes on the canvas with gsp on top of him. now he has to deal with a fat little hawaiin with bendy legs and a vampiric thirst for blood

It’ll be strange to see former training partners fighting each other as well, we all know about GSP and Condit’s connection at Jackson’s and BJ and Nick are friends and have trained together in the past. 2 great matches including 1 dream fight, I’m happy with MMA again.

i'm actually in shock right now
I had no idea about this , And this may be controversial but i think its a relevant question..If i was to engage in a wrassle with a female no doubt i would become sexually alert, I would struggle to think of much more more than how nice her titties were or how much i’d like to be in a triangle choke right now, And i would say most hot blooded men would be the same,Thats just how we are wired ,our first job is be fruitful and multiply. BUT! if i was a gay and found mens body’s attractive surely if i was having a wrassle with one my thought pattern wud be the same as above.I can’t see how a gay can turn the thought pattern of but a hetro cannot about women ?So i can understand big nogs view on the matter a gay man wrestling a straight man half naked is going to be sexually stimulating for the gay and uneasy for the straight .I find this very odd to say the least maybe if there are gay fighters maybe they should fight the women to avoid any confusing thoughts ….just saying

That’s crap. I’ve been playing rugby against a couple of all-gay teams for 5 years, and never once have I felt, or even heard of a dude sporting wood mid-match. When the competition is over it’s another story, but on the pitch or in the cage, everyone is focused on winning, not who looks hot in their shorts.

False
Everyone is talking about GSP, Condit, Diaz and BJ right now. They’ve just booked 2 more interesting fights and given Nick the perfect chance to make a statement in the UFC by matching him up with a legend who he matches up well with (both great boxers, both great BJJ black belts, Diaz has a massive cardio advantage, BJ has much better takedowns) while they’ve got a feelgood story for Condit getting this once in a lifetime chance as well as the big story of Diaz being pulled out of the title shot and both fights involve former training partners. I wouldn’t be surprised if all of this was planned and even if it wasn’t it’s created a lot more hype for this show.

Better to keep your mouth shut and appear stupid than to open it and remove all doubt.

Crazy Pants
Switch opponents all because Nick has an emotional disorder. Better this way though. BJ beats the crap outta Nick, and Carlos gets the chance to win the title.
So you don't trust Nick to show up for the main event, but you trust him to show up for the co-main?
Blegh. Should have cut and blacklisted him.
Oh, well. Much as I hate Penn, he’s better than Diaz in everything but cardio. Easy win for NCAA Penn.

I like your new sig better mate haha
And it won’t be easy at all for BJ. Nick was incredibly unprofessional but the right decision was made, surely even Nick can’t be as stupid/stubborn to screw this one up.
Anderson Silva is the P4P GOAT
31-4 (14-0 UFC), 9 successful title defences, 10 championship wins
The numbers don't lie
It'll be VERY easy for Penn
Diaz can’t defend a takedown to save his life. BJ has very good takedowns and can beat him on his feet.
And BJ’s top game blows Diaz’s bottom game out of the water. Easy, easy, easy fight for BJ.

Diaz will win!
What can BJ do to him???? Out box him? I dont think so…clinch? I dont think so…on the ground no way
I think Diaz’s boxing is good but not better than penn’s. Diaz has a long reach and throws pillow punches in bunches. Penn has better timing and power neither have the most dynamic footwork or head movement. Diaz has a good chin but bj has a great chin plus bj hits harder. dont think diaz could get bj down or keep him down but he does have more gas and a slight size advantage. Penn should be favored

This is sweet, style wise these fights just got better

Earlier Today Bruce Leroy Made The Following Comment:
“I agree with Jonathan Snowden. Nick Diaz is the anti-GSP. The UFC could have used this angle to promote the fight, but I think Dana White is taking this opportunity to show Nick Diaz that he is the boss and Nick needs to "play ball" now that he is a Zuffa employee. Expect to see Nick in a big fight in the UFC real soon. Possibly UFC 137 vs. BJ.”
Yeah eh...well earlier today Starr788 said this:
“I guarantee that by 8:30pm tonight we will be told that Penn will be fighting Diaz.”

Yes armbar Diaz was punished by not getting a title fight
Dana must of accepted his accuse for not making it and gave him another chance. Makes sense to me.
"I felt like I was getting raped by Freddy Mercury"-Tank on losing to Dan Severn
LOL they did this shiiit on purpose Diaz personality is perfect for such bullshit
Anyways excited to see this card more then ever. After Diaz beats the living shit out of BJ he will be hyped up as a fucken monster and get even more buys when he faces off against GSP.
If you dont like drugs then dont do them.....give them to me!
I don't know Khaos
I have BJ, I’m not confident and think it will be a great battle and someone is gettig KTFO.

I personally don't know what to say right now!
will be back after the packers smoke the saints.
Yeah kickoff's are pointless pretty much but if the kicker doesn't get a hold of it many times it will equal a great kick return because the kickoff team is not going 100%
"I felt like I was getting raped by Freddy Mercury"-Tank on losing to Dan Severn
i think they should kick off from the 25 yard line...i wanna see more returns..not less.
Goodell is pussifying football.
Fighting solves everything.
I agree bud
The fines for hard hits is also retarded but I think what the NFL is trying to is make it safer so they can get the players to agree to a 18 game season.

Fuck why starks I need Rogers to throw more TD's!!
"I felt like I was getting raped by Freddy Mercury"-Tank on losing to Dan Severn
people would rather see 17 weeks of good football then 18 weeks of touchbacks.
Fighting solves everything.
you realize the individual stats will go up
especially passing yards.
It was on purpose that the touchbacks are happening.
Why do I keep picking Forrest against far superior Brazilian fighters? Because I’m a dumb old man who pretends to be Irish that’s why.
It's bullshit
teams with good ST (like mine) are getting punished.
Learn JiuJitsu.
Jimmy McNulty wannabe.
it's not like every return is returned for a touchdown...the qb gets in there virtually every play.
he’ll just be startin from the 20 more often. But there;s a ton of highlights from returns. until now.
Fighting solves everything.
not saying I like it
but this helps to focus on offensive players and market the game for those players, not some guy that gets rotated every 3 years.
Why do I keep picking Forrest against far superior Brazilian fighters? Because I’m a dumb old man who pretends to be Irish that’s why.
The average is on returns counting touchbacks is the 27 yard line
So an extra five yards on average really means nothing
"I felt like I was getting raped by Freddy Mercury"-Tank on losing to Dan Severn
means nothing?
i’d rather see a guy make an effort and get tackled at the 20 then kneel it down in the endzone. Nobody’s gonna return it when you’re startin 5 yards deep in the endzone.
Fighting solves everything.
5 drives a half, 10 a game, 160 a season * 7
1,120 possible more passing or rushing yards in a season.
Dan Marino’s single season yardage record won’t last 3 years.
Why do I keep picking Forrest against far superior Brazilian fighters? Because I’m a dumb old man who pretends to be Irish that’s why.
Or teams getting pinned back farther from the start and after punting on a 3 and out the other team gets a shorter field?
It’s not like many teams drive on every position. This will also fuck up a few teams that have focused on getting players that are good returners to help with field position, now there is no real advantage on kickoffs having these exciting players. There still is the punt return but pretty much every return record for TD, yards etc will never be broken.
"I felt like I was getting raped by Freddy Mercury"-Tank on losing to Dan Severn
?? No the Raiders scored more returns than they gave + Jan kicks 50% touchbacks from the 25 anyway now he's kicking field goals that count for nothing
"I felt like I was getting raped by Freddy Mercury"-Tank on losing to Dan Severn
If you're a Raider fan you have bigger issues than where they kick off from.
When a Texan decides to take his chances, you know chances will be taken.

let me get this straight....
Diaz dicks over the company by not showing up to press conferences…they punish him by taking him off the main event title fight then basically reward him with a co-main against a former champ in 2 weight divisions. Sure its not for the belt but still not a harsh penalty. Can’t wait for the fight either way and I’m sure fitch is furious

In a sense though I think it SHOULD be a 5-round fight
Mainly because Diaz is a champion, even if he’s a paper champion of the Strikeforce division.
I just want a decisive win, and if it needs 5 rounds it should be.
Killer match up here guys, fight of a lifetime
Both fighters are eerily similar. Both fighters have:
Granite Chin
Top level boxing
Top level bjj
I have Nick winning due to cardio and blistering pace.
There will be no shittalking. Nick and BJ are friends somewhat and have trained together in the past.
Diaz chin granite? Diaz boxing top level? I think his chin and boxing are good. Bjj is elite level no doubt
by talkfight on Sep 8, 2011 9:13 PM EDT via mobile up reply actions
let me expand some more:
I have Nick winning due to cardio and blistering pace. Penns cardio is always under question. Nicks boxing style is more active and dynamic. Penn’s boxing is very straight and reactionary.
Penn has excellent BJJ butt he only tends to be effective while on his opponents back. He only has rear naked choke submission victories. Nick on the other hand is more varied in his bjj attacks. He will attempt more armbars and kimuras than BJ will.
predictions: If it is a boxing match. Look for Nick to bring in volume punches with high accuracy, body shots, and mixed in power shots. The further the fight stays standing the more BJ is going to wilt. I expect BJ will land a shot or two that will drop Diaz but that is it. I see Nick winning the standing war.
If it is a bjj match, I expect it to go to decision with BJ Penn getting the victory due to takedown points. I cannot really see either of these men submitting the other. I’ll eat my hat the day a Cesar Gracie blackbelt gets submitted.
Penn gases versus wrestlers. Penn has only been out boxed once (by frankie). He has the better chin and more power so it’d be hard for nick to win a “standing war”. I see penn being the better wrestler and their bjj games equal enough.
by talkfight on Sep 8, 2011 9:30 PM EDT via mobile up reply actions
The contrast with GSP vs. Diaz and Condit vs. Penn were way better math-ups.
I’d rather see the contrasting fighters fight each other, much more exciting. Oh…well. UFC’s way of making money at the expense of Nick’s idiocy. Diaz should demand the title shot, he is the champ, let’s unify the division.

Bad Karma
I have standing sig-bets taking every BJ Penn opponent AND every Nick Diaz opponent.
I am a guaranteed winner AND loser.
Fuck you Deuce and BNF.
Why do I keep picking Forrest against far superior Brazilian fighters? Because I’m a dumb old man who pretends to be Irish that’s why.
This is just another positive to come out of this
Fantastic. So who would you rather take over your sig? I am thinking BNF is nicer with these type of things….but Diaz isn’t winning this thing.
I will blind you with my Albino Mormon Rainbow Powers of Sunshiny Joy™. - Dak
First off, I love this fight.
What I don’t like is ignorant, people who are not capable of critical thinking, and are quick to call people with different opinions “conspiracy theorists”.
I think exactly 3 people on here agreed with me when I mentioned that Nick was in on this whole thing, and that the UFC simply felt from a monetary standpoint that pulling Diaz from the GSP fight made sense.
What this proves to me is that 99.9% of people listen to everything the mainstream media tells them, and these same sheeple are the reason that the govt feels they can literally kill their own people in front of their faces and claim that they were not responsible…….perfect recipe for The New World Order.
Ignorant sheeple will pay the ultimate price for their mental in-capacities….and you know what?? That thought makes me happy.

I think this is a cooler match up than GSP vs Diaz.
But I think GSP vs Diaz and Condit vs Penn made for a much better card.
Would Vitor vs Shogun not be a sick ass fight???
im a huge GSP fan
But funny thing is bj vs condit is awesome fight, bj vs diaz is awesome, condit vs diaz is awesome..
But gsp vs either of em won’t be nearly as exciting….GSP beats them all by decision unless BJ quits on the stool again

100% agreed
but I really think Condit has the best chance.

Unify
I don’t necessarily believe merging the top two organizations is the best idea. Then everybody has to play by one man’s rules, and the monopoly has the ability to make or break any one fighter. Were do you go if Dana decides he doesn’t like your attitude?
I think they should’ve had a once a year fight between the two organizations champs in all divisions.

Bears shows are good/informative...
But they are less REAL than the Jersey Shore.
They are all staged.
If Bear wants to do a real survivor show, let him combine those two. Have him talk shit to Ronny about Sammie after Ronny has just finished three Jaeger Bombs and a cycle of roids.
When a Texan decides to take his chances, you know chances will be taken.
Bear Grylles is the fucking man.
I don’t care if it’s staged I still saw him swim in shark infested waters. I’ve seen him bury himself in a avalanche and I’ve seen him kill dangerous animals with a rock. Bear would smash Ronnie’s head in with a rock and draw and quarter him like a dear.

Does anybody think Diaz would've signed with UFC for a fight against BJ Penn?
They played him like a fiddle.
You really think they planned on Diaz not showing up?
Maybe they played SF and Diaz was in on it and this was the match-up the entire time?! More likely than your theory though.

i just realized how much of a win win this is for the UFC
If Diaz and GSP both win, it sets up a pretty big fight between the two and they use all this drama as hype.

Twenty it is and Sigs too. It should count towards our pro records.
This one isnt the most ridiculous lock of all time like the GSP fight was but i am fairly certain that BJ wrecks him.

I accept your challenge.
Sad that you dont trust your boy Diaz with your sig too. Smart man, i thought i could trick you into a sucker move. (this will be my first cash bet towards my pro record. My record is 4-0 with 1 exhibition bout against scarnon and one amateur loss against SouthCaliStunNa.)

what if nick still doesnt show up for the press conferences
are they gonna pull him from the bj fight and give him roy nelson?
You must defeat me to stand a chance.
Did it ever cross your ignorant mind that maybe this was planned and diaz was not ready for the limelight?HMMM
Something tells me yea this all works for one reason. Nick is petrified of stardom!
Called it
Best card of the year. Cerrone mitrione Nelson main event co main event all good fights set up!! Diaz is a punk he would have lost to gsp anyways. He’s a badass no doubt but only looks good on showtime because he’s not fighting the best fighters. The switch was definitely meant to happen. Diaz is not going to just walk through bj, bj will show the fans that this fool can’t hang with the top tier fighters in the UFC. Then he’ll (Diaz) probably fight fitch and lose and get cut (again). Because he just ain’t that great

so if BJ beats the guy who was gonna fight GSP for the belt…do we have to be bored to tears by BJ versus GSP part 3? please god no.

Bullshit
That it isn’t gsp vs Diaz, I said on the UFC fb page nick vs bj was the best fight considering Diaz got pulled, even though I’m a fan of both and don’t wanna see either lose… But really, gsp vs Diaz is the fight. They had it made, knew Diaz wouldn’t noshow the fight (evidenced by him still being on the card) and punished him for not doing promo… Which in reality is the ufc’s job. Nick vs gsp made me happy, this is ‘ok’ :( war bj

this is great news that diaz will still be on this card, even better that his new opponent is BJ rather than some bum.. but most importantly, im glad diaz wasn't cut.. What the fuck was he thinking?
this whole situation is so fucked up.. i can’t believe that GSP and BJ completely switched opponents a just over a month out from the card..
this is some what good in a sense that we get to see BJ vs Diaz, a fight we probably would have never seen had Nick not been pulled out of the GSP fight…
imo- we will still see GSP vs Diaz, only now it will have even more hype behind it.. George gets to defend his title for the 7th time and the noob fans get to be introduced to a killer from stockton.. Diaz will get that title shot after he finishes Penn..

What’s the odds Diaz doesn’t even show for the fight ?
by BrockLesnar Budlight on Sep 9, 2011 2:11 AM EDT reply actions
first
alright, this is my first post here…i just gotta say this shit just keeps getting weirder and weirder. perhaps its the conspiracy theorist in me but this just doesn’t make sense to me. Diaz goes off the grid for 24+ hours, the main event changes, he comes back and is like WTF dudes? Just doesn’t make sense.
I like the new card though…glad it worked out this way. But does anyone else think the UFC has been playing puppeteer lately? Too many times weird shit like this has happened, just makes me start to wonder
Diaz gots this!
When Diaz wins this against bj which I know he will.I think he deserves to fight the winner of Gsp-Condit.Gsp will come out victorious hopefully by a way of stoppage,I’ll be happy if he just get a finish by tko,sub anything.But more then likely it will be from humping Condit for 25 minutes.Then we will get to see our DIAZ-GSP fight on FOX!!!
Bad fight for Diaz
Diaz got rocked by guys like Gomi, Sanchez, and Kj Noons.

Am I the only one who got all giddy and excited, after spending the last day sad. And you knew this was going to happen.

FU***** BRILLIANT
This is the fight I’ve always wanted to see but never thought would happen. The boxing is gonna be class to watch, and if it hits the floor, probably just as good. With 520 comments I can see I’m not the only one looking forward to this fight
