i understand banned is banned is banned. but trying to shit on his fans for liking a guy that smokes weed is ridiculous. i could understand shitting on the fans of a guy that blatantly cheats for competitive advantage

[Tyche]

Well, look at the BG demograph that Diaz attracts. What's that guys name again?

[tyven]

lets not bring tommiegunnz into this. i will admit that i love asshole athletes, pacman jones is my boy. but mousasi is prob my second favorite fighter and that guy never shows any sort of emotion ever.

What is the difference between shitting on Cowboys fans, Redskins Fans, Laker fans, Spurs fans, Red Sox fans, Yankee fans, Red wing fans, etc...? Its all shit talk and Bullshitting. Get thicker skin for fuck sake.

Yeah tyven gain 150 pounds like Dimm and the other UFC fanboys.

[Brill Weave]

They would infract...I won't do that for stupid shit like this.

I know, that's why I like giving you a hard time Aside from the locking of my precious hockey thread, you are usually content to let us bash heads over different opinions in the sports threads. If others were modding the sports threads I can't say that would be the case anymore.

Actually I do want tommiegunnz to get into this. I want to hear him defend one of the top five fighters in the world. But he's probably in the shower reenacting the Crying Game.

Stop trolling in General, you are degrading the forum.

I only weight 60 more pounds than that now. 100 of those pounds are below the waist.

[Brill Weave]

NO NO MATH IN MMA THREAD GO TO MATH THREAD FOR MATH!

[Dimmauk]

I just wanna say, that this thread is better than coffee this morning. LOL

[Brill Weave]

It's one of the first threads I check anymore. I don't check too many repeatedly but it's safe to say this is one of them.

[Dimmauk]

strikeforce card still have awesome fight that is mousassi vs sobral, i dont give a fuck about carano vs cyborg no matter how much they hype it and why the heck they put werdum in the undercard, should switch herion vs taylor fight with those 2.

I just heard that The Carano vs Cyborg fight is off now. Cyborg tested positive for having a Penis.

[noblemountain]

Looks like our Dana vlogs are over. They have all been removed and he says there won't be any more. Rumor is that HBO is going to be doing a behind the scenes show called "Outside the Octogon" and that the vlogs were too similar.

I agree with Brill on the Diaz issue. It sucks that the new commission changed policy on him like that, but he still knows that what he does is illegal and he runs the risk of being suspended.

[Quixon]

Yeah tyven gain 150 pounds like Dimm and the other UFC fanboys.

I lol'd




As far as this incident with Diaz is concerned, I am in the same boat as Noblemountain/Brill. I still think the dude is an idiot, but what happened to him really sucks.

[Xno Kappa]

How is a fanbase unjustified?

[archibaldcrane]

what happened to him really sucks.

What happened to him again? He got randomly drug-tested?

Yeah, can't muster any sympathy for the guy. At all. Like not even this little tiny bit contained in the period at the end of this sentence

What, no period? Yeah, that much.

[Brill Weave]

I can't feel sympathy for the guy. I just can't. It doesn't matter that they changed their policy. He's still doing a drug that is illegal in the sport. Everytime he smokes up, he's fucking himself over. In the end the guy has nobody to blame but himself.

Nick Diaz Does Not Get License is Off Strikeforce Card; Jesse Taylor vs Jay Hieron Instead

Bill Douglas, Assistant Executive Officer of CSAC, on Saturday informed MMAWeekly.com that Diaz had not been licensed and the situation would be "a challenging process."

On Monday, Diaz's manager, Cesar Gracie, said his fighter had an informal agreement with former CSAC executive officer Armando Garcia that precluded random drug testing. Diaz, a resident of Stockton, Calif., currently holds a medical marijuana license under the state's Compassionate Use Act of 1996 and Medical Marijuana Program Act. Garcia departed the agency last November.

"They changed it without any notification," said Gracie. "No one had any time. The old guys were doing things based off of California law, and I knew California law didn't change. He's licensed... it's legal. They're own legal team came out with a ruling that said (compassionate use was allowed). Then all of a sudden they're saying we're doing drug tests, and cannabis is included, it's not just performance enhancers. To flush it out of his system, it takes 10 days, and we don't have that."

It almost sounds like they have something personal against Diaz. Like they didnt want him to fight.

I LOL'd at this

Original card:

Female 145 Pound Championship
Gina Carano (7-0) vs Cristiane "Cyborg" Santos (7-1)

Strikeforce Lightweight Championship
Josh Thomson (c) (16-2) vs Gilbert Melendez (15-2)

Strikeforce Heavyweight Championship
Alistair Overeem vs Fabricio Werdum

Strikeforce Welterweight Championship
Nick Diaz vs Joe "Diesel" Riggs

[Brill Weave]

The guy resigned in November. It's now August. If Diaz and Gracie thought that any unwritten agreement between them and Garcia still held water they're both fucking idiots.

[tyven]

you shouldnt feel bad for him, you should feel bad for yourselves because now you have to watch jay heiron fight JT$. Hieron vs Diaz was actually a great fight featuring two great WW, it was better than Riggs vs Diaz, even though thats the fight i would have prefered.

here's hoping for a peruvian necktie
