What argument are you even trying to make?

It was a charity event and even though Nick still donated his purse, people had paid $10 to watch the event on PPV just for that bout alone. Nick no-showed the athletic commission costing the Jay Hierron fight, Nick no-showed a press conference costing the GSP fight, and now he no-showed a charity event. Not only the events leading up to the bout, the precedence Nick has established shows very clearly who's blatantly at fault here. One man showed up, the other didn't despite the "lack of professionalism" on both sides.

It's obvious not even Cesar Gracie can control Nick's diva mind set. The schtick has been old for a long time. The man is exciting to watch but his annoying ass antics outside of fights are reaching M-1 levels.

There's also a card tonight if anyone forgot.

Called as soon as I got home to get Fuel TV activated, was told I can only get it by buying an expanded basic package, plus it's only in standard definition. So stupid, if I lived anywhere else in the world I'd get it in HD and on a channel that's part of a basic HD package. I'd get DirectTV if I didn't live right by the ocean and the cloud cover didn't render it worthless 60% of the time.

Glad to see Amir get the nod in such a shitty fight. Lopez was completely fucking gassed and all he did was go for the TD and stall.

**Intrinsic** · 2012-05-15 21:44

What a first round in the main event. This is going to be a crazy next 4 rounds.

**Intrinsic** · 2012-05-15 21:49

Holy shit, if you're not seeing this live you're missing out.

**Xno Kappa** · 2012-05-15 21:49

ZOMBIE FAN FOR FUCKING LIFE!

**Intrinsic** · 2012-05-15 21:56

I don't even, something is going to have to be amazing for this not to win fight of the year.

**Xno Kappa** · 2012-05-15 21:56

Man, this fight is crazier then Hendo/Shogun, niggas is really missing out.

**Intrinsic** · 2012-05-15 21:58

OMFG WHAT THE FUCK JUST HAPPENED THERE

**Xno Kappa** · 2012-05-15 21:58

FIGHT OF THE FUCKING YEAR OF ALL YEARS!

**Rhyis.** · 2012-05-15 22:01

Tell me again why people hate midget fights?

**Intrinsic** · 2012-05-15 22:07

I picked the Zombie to win, but I figured it would be by early knockdown then a swarm, very similar to Hominick. If you told me that he'd choke Diamond unconscious in the championship rounds, I'd have bet my house against you. I always liked the Zombie but I'm a fan for life now.

**Xno Kappa** · 2012-05-15 22:08

FOTN goes to Zombie/Poirer and sub of the night to Zombie. Sick fucking fight, Shogun/Hendo had history behind it, but this was way more entertaining.

**Rhyis.** · 2012-05-15 22:12

I think Shogun/Hendo was a better fight, and that's not even my favourite fight, but this was pretty damn sweet.

Wonder what they'll do with KZ now. #1 Contender fight with Hioki/Lamas winner maybe.

**Xno Kappa** · 2012-05-15 22:15

Meh. I tend to think Shogun/Hendo was more epic only because of all the history behind it but by the fourth both fighters were gassed beyond belief to use any semblance of technique. I felt this was quick paced at all times with hurting bombs, sub attempts, reversal attempts, and all kinds of other shit.

**Rhyis.** · 2012-05-15 22:17

Hendo/Shogun was great because both fighters nearly died in the ring.

Nog/Barnett 1 is the best fight of all time anyway, so it doesn't matter.

MY BOY BROUGHT THE HOUSE DOWN!!! HAN-GUK MAN-SEH!!!

i really want to see a jiujitsu guy fight a contortionist

**Andalusian girls** · 2012-05-16 22:00

**Intrinsic** · 2012-05-16 22:58

Just got around to watching the undercard, Yang really got robbed. End of the HW tournament in a few days. I'm going Barnett, who ya'll got?
