News Lawler vs Diaz now 185 lbs Fight

Nick must be injured and would rather collect the cheque than pull out

Oh well
 
I'm actually worried for Nick Diaz's Health and Safety. Lawler is a monster when he's motivated. I strongly sense Lawler is extremley motivated for this fight.

Lawler is former Champion.
Lawler is the Hard Worker.
Lawler eat cleans clean.
Lawler is married.
Lawler doesn't do drugs.
Lawler 's last 4 losses - lost to RDA with a blown ACL. Lost to Askren with a freak occurance or bad call. Went the distance with Covington who is almost Champion. Covington is a Cardio fighter like Diaz.
Lawler is going to destory Diaz.

Diaz hasn't fought in almost 6 years.
Diaz only fought consistenly since before 2011 !
Diaz biggest win is over BJ Penn
Diaz can't make weight
Diaz can't Run without gassing out
Diaz body is slow
Diaz releflexs aren't there
Diaz is here for a PAY DAY
Diaz brings a HOT PARTY GIRL to the hotel. Yea good idea - bust your nuts in a hot party girl before your fight YEA That's great motivation. It's a proven fact women weaken legs. Chuck Liddell comes to mind. Dan Henderson's wife basically said after the fight when he won ... he got no pussy for 3 days before the fight. You gotta think Diaz is going to be tapping that hot a-ss party girl in hotel room EVERY DAY AND NIGHT before the fight AND smoking weed. Weed lowers your testosterone levels. And Busting in hot party girls lowers it even more. No way in hell Diaz wins. He isn't taking the fight seriously. It's beyond obvious - Diaz is just showing up for a paycheck.

If the fight goes past the first round I would be surprised.
I am betting $5,000.00 on Lawler and $1,000.00 on a 4 pick parlay.
lol Great analysis!
 
Four days notice from 170 to 185 is BS. Probably be a 20lb difference come fight night...
 
No Nick Diaz at the media day

Kakakakaka...
 
Abandoning weight cut 3 days out isn't good for Diaz.

It means the weight either isn't coming down like they planned or he's getting ill from the cut and needed to stop. His body is a lot older and he hasn't done this in a while.

Definitely is a weight cut, as he cut weight to get down to WW range.

You're also glossing over that he agreed to the fight at WW months ago and now changes his mind 3 days before the fight. Hes trying to run a scam to obtain an advantage.

Or..................he got into the meat and potatoes of his weight cut and was like, 'Holy Shit-- ain't no way this is happening.' So he did the most sensible thing he could and made a phone call.

Seriously, you guys are acting like Nick fucking Diaz is some crafty, forward thinking, master strategist executing his master plan. That cuts completely against the grain of everything he has said and done the entirety of his life.

He already got down to that weight last year. He's also been around long enough to know what to do. And the the starting point of the cut should have happened a while ago, today would be the start of the water loading and carb deload. The embedded video from today has him looking bloated and puffy as hell. Looks like he didn't even attempt to get to 170.

Nick may not be crafty enough to pull this stunt, but someone in his camp did. It's a bitch move anyway you slice it
 
Diaz fought Anderson at 205 and Robbie fought most of his fights in Strikeforce at middleweight 185. What's the big deal?? why is everyone crying over this??

Stop making up shit, the Anderson fight was at 185 and was advertise as so.. This fight as advertise at 170 but changed to 185 at the last min...
 
I'm wondering if Nick is having more anxiety than even he anticipated despite doing little media and asked if they could just keep it chill before the fight. No cutting, no press, just come and fight. Just another possibility.
 
Kind of bullshit because I think Lawler would've come in yoked/bulked up properly if he knew it was 185lbs since the getgo....while Nick wouldn't IMO.....but now Lawler won't be bulked up and will have a non-dehydrated 170lbs body.


Diaz bros love this non-dehydrated even weight fights, but it's complete bullshit in this water cutting MMA world........Robbie Lawler is a good bulker, if he had time to bulk to 185lbs, it wouldn't be good for Nick Diaz.....I think this was all part of the plan for nick diaz.

It's good for Nick but cmon be reasonable it wasn't a conspiracy.

but also to be honest this news is pretty bad. At worst we should have had a catch weight.
 
Not really, it's relatively early for Fight Week and my guess is one of the two, probably Nick was like "Yeah Fuck That Shit" since he hasn't had to cut weight in damn near forever. The team reached out, UFC didn't want to lose one of their biggest attractions, or make it look like it was in jeopardy so they played ball.

If Nate Diaz can make a non title co-main a 5 rounder, Nick can stop cutting weight whenever the FUCK he wants.

<{natewhut}>

Besides, this probably means we'll see a better fight since they won't be killing themselves to make 170. If we're keeping it 100, neither Robbie or Nick has seen the better side of 190 I'd imagine, so we'll get these 2 legends going at it not getting held back by a tough weight cut.

Robbie vs Babalu was 195 I believe lol …good post
 
Yeah I think this helps Diaz but I'm not going to accuse him of doing this on purpose.
 
Stop making up shit, the Anderson fight was at 185 and was advertise as so.. This fight as advertise at 170 but changed to 185 at the last min...

Calm down there little chap. I was already corrected. hope your post makes you feel like a flyweight champ now.
 
Nick doin that Netflix Triathalon 1 Weekend 3 series <209Bitch>Make the fight weight 209<30>
 
It won't really be middle weight Robbie though, it's just next-to-no-cut 170lb class Robbie. If he knew this in advance, he would have no doubt put on a few extra pounds since there would be less to cut later.




He could be injured now and wasn't then. I kinda thought he had a weird stride when jogging on one of those recent embedded episodes(but he may just always look like that when jogging).
Yeah I saw him walking around today in a video and he looked sluggish to me.
 
This is Lawler's fight to lose, hoping he can get the finish inside the first
 
It is inherently unfair. Only Nick knows if he will even attempt 170lbs if they can't get Robbie to sign a new bout agreement (which is what is required)

So Robbie has a shitty Sophie's choice: refuse the new bout agreement and cut weight, but risk that Nick gets on the scale overweight anyway - or - fight a guy who hasn't been dieting for the last month like he has.

If Nick is healthy enough to pass medicals and fight he's healthy enough to fight at the weight agreed upon. Something is wrong with Nick or he's being unfair and unprofessional to Robbie.
Pretty sure the contract is at 170, and Nick Diaz et al are simply asking for the fight to be at 185 a week ahead of the fight (originally, apparently dana was out of town). There is so much assumption going on by people it's getting hard to bother to muster to the energy to argue. Even now that more facts are coming out people are still stating Nick Diaz can't make 170, for whatever reason. The fact of the matter is Nick Diaz and his team asked for the fight to be at 185 pounds sometime last weekend. That's it.
 
I moved the line 50 points betting on Lawler here in Europe in a shitty little casino here .... 2.00 - 1.50 Lawler .... only casino here offering UFC bets in town .. am thinking about putting another 5,000 Euros ...
I'm seriously tempted to put another 5,000 Euros on Lawler ... It's a guaranteed win .. VERY good insight from Bisping here





We've Waited for this fight forever ... but man oh man I Can't believe how bad Diaz looks ... sluggish, unmotivated, Lazy and.... SCARED man .. SCARED .. I'm seriously worried about Diaz health ... years of smoking WEED has taken it's toll.. Remember Joe Rogan talking about Diaz getting "baked" on weed biking hours ...swimming hours in Olympic Pool ...

This isn't Triatholon Diaz ... this is a getting out of bed for a paycheck Diaz .. Scared Diaz .. Need the money Diaz ..
 
Betting odds on Diaz should be a 6 to 1 underdog ...

Six to One . He has a punchers chance ...
