<p>If a regular looking Joe like Brock can get busted for using PEDS it just goes to show that absolutely anyone can be using.</p>

<p>Of course they do, they make you bigger, stronger and more aggressive. All positive attributes for a fighter</p>

<p>Well yeah of course but a guy still has to be able to actually <em>fight</em> in the first place doesn't he ? I don't think the point of difference is as great as other sports.</p>

<p>Well let's just ask the Russians and see what they think?</p>

<p>Average card over the weekend.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Big news was Holly Holm lost her second in a row. This time to #7 ranked Valentina Shevchenko, who won on a unamimous points decision after 5 rounds.</p> -
<p>Here. We. Go.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Diaz vs McGregor 2. This should be interesting.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Does anybody really think Diaz is the better fighter? And now they are fighting with equal preperation time at the same weight. </p>
<p> </p>
<p>I'm not a CMG fan, but I suspect he's going to win this.</p> -
<p>P4P I'd argue McGregor is the better fighter. He has excellent striking and he's a very smart fighter. But P4P doesn't really count for a whole lot and Diaz is just a bigger fighter, with probably the best chin in his division. So I think it'll be another Diaz win.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>That said, I'm not sure McGregor cares as much as his fans do. Ever since he signed with the UFC, he's been punching well above his position, signing one fight contracts with the UFC and negotiating for as much money as he can. He fucked up with the UFC 200 gamble but still, I think his only real goal is to get as much money as he possibly can and then move on when things turn pear shaped. I don't think he wants to be an idiot like Dan Henderson, Cro Cop, Tito or whoever and fight until he's a crippled old man.</p> -
<p>CMG inside 2 rounds</p>
-
<p>Unsurprisingly some of the pre-match stuff has turned into a shit fight. The press conference ended up with bottles being thrown etc etc.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>I do genuinely think these 2 guys don't like each other, and both are a bit wild untamed animal, but the sport should be careful to distinguish itself from the the WWE etc with these sorts of things.</p> -
<p>Only seen some of the highlights on the tweet machine but it looked savage.</p>

<p>Great UFC debut for Vettori<br>
Big win for Larkin<br>
Garbrandt looked very impressive<br>
Means is one mean motherfucker<br>
Perry with a great David v Goliath win<br>
Cowboy's got some of the best feet in the business<br>
Johnson v Teixeira, 1 v 2, no ducking and avoiding, the best to fight for the belt. BOOM! That's what makes MMA so good<br><br>
Diaz v McGregor<br>
Round 1 Smart v Heart. McGregor's game plan executed to perfection. Nullified Nate.<br>
Round 2 Heart v Smart. Natural size getting Diaz back in the fight<br>
Round 3 Heart v Smart. Big shots, big chin from McGregor<br>
Round 4 Smart v Heart. Diaz lost his range when the blood blurred his vision. McGregor more precise<br>
Round 5 Smart v Heart. Smartest round of the fight from McGregor despite Diaz's late takedown<br>
What a fight<br>
That's the way to avenge a defeat</p> -
<p>Absolutely sensational UFC. Johnson knockout was epic, but man, what a fight Diaz vs McGregor.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Sensational from the word go, swining between the two. Nate will regret the slow start, as that looked like a 10-8 round, and I think took him of the energy and stamina he needed to get McGregor down. But it was just complete brutatilty the rest of it. I actually stood up and applauded at home at the end of it.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>If they do a third at 155 ,then Diaz has no chance. He'll have to lose some power, and CMG will just be far far too quick for him there.</p>
