Nick Diaz hasn't won a fight since 2011.

For some weird reason, I had Silva vs. Weidman as the main in my head for a split-second.


Also: Is "grape vines" a thing Rogan is making up or is it an actual BJJ term such as "hooks" and such?

I have a feeling Nick is going to get the absolute gently caress kicked out of his legs. Like I think it might look almost as bad as RDA/Nate.

It's actually a wrestling term, it refers to what Alcantra was doing with the legs while on top in mount.

Nick is richly hittable and is going to give Anderson lots of opportunities to just box the gently caress out of him so it wouldn't surprise me if Silva was content to just box him up going backwards a la Forrest, but it also wouldn't surprise me if Anderson has a machismo chip on his shoulder and wants to "prove" his leg is as good as ever and comes out throwing a million kicks

This is why I've been saying it for a while, I really think the latter is very likely. That and his leg kicks devastate pretty much anyone.

I don't know if it'll be that many, but I certainly expect enough to prove he's not afraid to kick.

This was actually my thinking. I think he might come out throwing the kicks and will just keep doing it once he sees how easily he can land them. I have no clue how Nick and his brother haven't put more of an emphasis on checking the leg kicks or even making an adjustment to their respective stances after their bouts with Cyborg, Cerrone, Condit, RDA, and probably others that I'm missing.


The Cyborg fight was bad as far as the leg kicks go.

I think Anderson is going to try to recreate dos Anjos' crime against legs from his Nate Diaz fight.

It turns out that convincing yourself that you really won every fought you lost isn't very helpful when it comes to identifying and improving your weak points

Yeah, like what advice is Toquinho going to give you? All he does is try to destroy a leg, and he's never had a plan B for when that doesn't work.

How does Anderson still have that #1 spot after a year of inactivity and two straight losses? MMA journalists don't even pretend to have a system.
