Cote-Riggs main card? Meh.
Problem with that is that Lawler wants time off after 4 fights last year. His camp has said Memorial Day would be the earliest he returns, and ideally later.With Rampage's court action from Bellator, would he even be allowed to fight? A solid card overall. Made more sense to have Lawler vs. Rory on this card, and Lombard vs. Hendricks in an Number One contender fight on the Dallas card.
What's the deal with the Barao-Dillashaw rematch? Dillashaw destroyed him for five straight rounds.
I might buy this one. Diego vs Nate or Lauzon would be the icing on the cake.
Meh, I pay to see entertaining fights. This fight, on paper, sounds entertaining. Being stopped early by Saunders has no bearing on whether or not you can be entertaining to watch.
Lauzon fights Iaquinta at UFC 183 and well, the maincard is already announced, why the fuck would they throw Diego vs Nate on the prelims? This fight could even headline a free card.
Diego called out Nate for a fight at UFC 185 in Dallas. Would complete the card nicely.
Anthony Pettis vs. Rafael Dos Anjos- LW Title Fight
Carla Esparza vs. Joanna Jedrzejczyk- WSW Title Fight
Johny Hendricks vs. Matt Brown
Alistair Overeem vs. Roy Nelson
Diego Sanchez vs. Nate Diaz
When was the last time you saw either guy in a "fun fight". Are we in 2007? Riggs just got stopped in the first round by Ben Saunders. If I'm paying 50 dollars I was relevant fights. This fight is the definition of irrelevant.
