The real crime in Diaz being suspended for a million years is that there's never been a better time for him to rematch either Condit or Lawler than after one of them loses in January. If he had just been given a reasonable 1 year suspension he'd be ready to go by February and the timing would be perfect. In fact that's what Diaz's legal team should be bringing up to NSAC and they will probably be quicker to overturn their decision.

Never is a better time

cathal pendred did the best thing he's ever done, aisling won, and paddy put on an extremely entertaining and competitive grapple fight before the pressure of being dropped into the main event in your home country with their expectations riding on your shoulders started getting to him and he gassed.

Cathal looked like he always does, only that this time he got an opponent that made him pay for his jerky movement, awkward striking and weak defense.

Daly won by sheer pressure, and her gas tank seemed good. But her striking technique and power was seriously flawed, and I think a better opponent would have exploited that as well.
The way she was unable to pass guard and was blocked against the fence just by her opponent holding onto her ankle, throwing elbows to the calves, what was that?
I definitely can't see her surviving against the better strikers in the division, let alone the champion, who probably would beat her into a bloody pulp.

Holohan looked like one of those fighters that is so afraid of his opponent's standup that he constantly dives into takedowns and gasses himself by looking for hectic submissions.

For being from a supposed top level gym, they all looked like they definitely didn't get enough competent striking sessions in their training, and their footwork was pretty random too.

And the mercy seat is awaiting,
And I think my head is burning,
And in a way I'm yearning,
To be done with all this measuring of proof.
An eye for an eye
And a tooth for a tooth,
And anyway I told the truth,
And I'm not afraid to die.

And yeah, Rose should go through Paige like a buzzsaw and I sincerely hope she does.

WOW this is a fight everyone was hoping for right after people say paige fight for the first time. I am a huge paige van zant fan (it is a shame joanna champion exists in her weight class) and this is definitely a step up in competotion for her. Great fight though. Jojo has been consistently a bad fighter since she has been in the UFC.

But from what we've seen Paige is at least a better wrestler than Rose and is very aggressive with her grappling, no? I like both fighters but don't really see how it's a huge step up for Paige, especially considering the rest of division. All praise to our dark mother Joanna, and hispect to Claudia. I still need to see the Rose/Hill fight, does Thug Rose still throw pillow fist/feet spinning poo poo?

They have something like 45 or 60 days to respond. Someone from the White House did confirm that they will respond to it.

In other news, local media in Vegas is reporting that the UFC might buy the naming rights to the new arena being built in Vegas, and would probably name it the UFC Center.
