News Emil Meek on Diego’s Coach: “At one point, he was running after us in a locked cage with a knife.”

He’s a bloody genius. The game plan was to get this guy as frustrated as you can forcing him to make a mistake and Diego capitalized on It.

Master Fabia's revolutionary teaching methods are changing the game.

People said Diego was done years ago but he is now 3-1 in his last 4. He is now looking like a McGregor or a Mayweather, all thanks to Master Fabia.

He is starting too rival Steven Seagul in terms of greatness. Remember when Seagul made Anderson, Machida and JDS all UFC champs? people forget that.

Fabia is like a cult leader. Isolates (no other coaches), focuses on mind control, extremely defensive, has strange ideas, etc., and has Diego believing everything he says. Meanwhile Diego is getting dominated. Fabia is taking his money and running him into the ground while Diego is clueless and/or in extreme denial. Meanwhile White is enjoying this side sh*t show which is unlike anything in UFC history.

So if you weren't already leaning that way, which most would be, bet the house on Matthews this weekend.

They played us all. The whole gameplan was to eat an illegal knee to the head and get a DQ win. He literally dove into that knee pretending he was shooting for a TD! Genius to say the least.

Wow Dana has lost weight.

If you can dodge a knife you can dodge a punch

For those with iqs within a standard deviation it does. Outliers are always going to be drawn to the wild shit that combat can be. As advanced as we get we will still have things like this on occasion, so long as we have wildly talented athletes with severe IQ problems

We all agree that Diego is nuts. But there are other examples; Rousey trusting her career to Tarverdian, Conor spending way too much of his time with that clown Portal, Fedor allowing the charlatan priest Gavrilov to infiltrate his inner circle.

And those are just the most obvious ones. There are a number of trainers who are surprisingly unqualified to be teaching high level pros. Just to give one example: Pat Miletich appeared to have no idea why Aoki was launching middle kicks into Ribeiro’s arm. After expressing his puzzlement several times, he finally declared “It’s as if he’s actually trying to kick his arm”.
