[TIMELESS TRUTH]

Looking pretty good! GSP vs Nate is still weird though...

 

[TriangleMonkey]

Cub vs Henato?

Cubs new contract sucks, hes gonna get pieced up again......

 

[Frankie Baby!]

Main Card is 9.5/10

Prelims is ight

FP Prelims are shit

 

[Gabe]

Solid card. Highly doubt GSP vs. Nate gets made

 

[YellowBanenoo]

Nah, that's just too good to be true. What's next? Chocolate pouring down from the sky?

 

[King in the North]

So Nate v. GSP is three rounds? interesting, can't remember the last time we saw GSP in a three round fight.


Really not a fan of this matchup.

 

[James Baller]

Man, the card is good, but it's still weird. Nate Diaz and Luke Rockhold, coming off loses, to fight favorites.

UFC matchmaking is just... I don't know where the fault lies anymore. Why? Who came up with this Diaz-GSP nonsense? At least with Diaz-McGregor, you had an exciting blend of styles and personalities. With GSP-Diaz, it's just not making sense to me.

I guess the PPV will do better than 224 though. So there's that.

 

[MadHouse]

Dana said the Gsp vs Nate fight is happening at 155

 

[cade187]

Yair vs Zabit is Hawt.

 

[abiG]

TJ Dillashaw vs. Cody Garbrandt
Georges St. Pierre vs. Nate Diaz

How is GSP/Nate not the main? <If it were to happen>

Yair Rodriguez vs. Zabit Magomedsharipov

I hope this happens. War in the making.

 

[dim_]

Decent main card, shit prelims, unwatchable early prelims

 

[Failwani]

I came.

 

[Dozer .]

GSP in a legacy defining fight vs Nate Diaz!

GSP vs Diaz is the winner gets to fight Conor match up.

Fantastic card, I will be going if it holds

 

[Arkridge]

Fantastic card, I will be going if it holds

I'll be there as well my man. Assuming all these fights pan out.

 

[SaigeVanZant]

You can bet your ass GSP vs. Diaz will headline.

 

[James Baller]

GSP vs Diaz is the winner gets to fight Conor match up.

At this point you're probably right about that. But I would so much rather have McGregor fight Khabib, Nate Diaz just... I don't know, fight anybody (Kevin Lee), and GSP fight Tyron Woodley.

I guess it really boils down to money.

I hope this happens. War in the making.

Only thing I can think of is gsp is testing how his body is at 155 with his cardio and adjusting to it. It is probably best to do 3 rounds at a lower weight at his age
