I like Nate. I liked on the UFC season he was on how he wouldn't back down from Karo who is a chump in my opinion. Nick is a prick but he makes for entertaining fights. And everyone hates him. You need a good heel that will keep fighting and bleed all over the place.

I thought it should have been a draw.

I agree with you, add to that, Burkman looked like he was suffering from the same thing. What's going on with Burkman? He's look bad his last several fights. Is he on his way out?

Nate Diaz did really well; he seems to be less of a headcase, than his older brother.

No kidding. Nick was in Nate's corner last night and he had his scowl going. He really believes that he is Gods gift to fighting. I really want to see somebody beat him up and knock him out. I thought Gomi was the man for the job but we all saw how that turned out.

I think Frank Shamrock and Nick Diaz would be a fun fight, though they would have to meet somewhere in the middle weight wise.

I think Burkman is getting too careful. When he let his hands go last night he looked great. He just didn't do it enough.

Nick Diaz didn't look too great in his last fight, then caused a scene afterwards; I don't think he'll be in the UFC in the near future. He needs to shut up and let his skills stand out. Have you seen a fighter more prone to cuts than Diaz? Guy needs to learn how to cover up.

He is considering having plastic surgery to thicken up the old cuts and scar tissue. Pretty extreme step for a guy to take but he has to do something. I think this is where most of his cockiness comes from (he's never been finished) all his losses were from cuts or he just didn't have enough time to work his magic (same thing Royce Gracie used to say).

He has been beaten to a bloody pulp but never finished. To his credit I have never seen him close to being finished. Gomi is the only one I have seen that even wobbled him.

I think if Gomi goes into that fight in shape he finishes him, speculation obviously, but I hope someone else steps up and shuts his arrogant mouth.

Nick Diaz lost his last fight to KJ Noons via TKO. Here is what he looked like afterwards. He just recently had surgery to repair all the scar tissue around his eyes and nose. He is scheduled to fight again at the end of april possibly a rematch against Gomi.

I don't have Showtime and did not see the fight. Was it a legit TKO? or did Nick pop right up and complain that the ref is an idiot? I would love to see Diaz vs Gomi 2 the first fight was friggin awesome.

It wasnt legit the doctor stopped it after the first round. Nick was getting dominated but like all of his fights he was still coming forward.

Typical Diaz fight, him throwing his patty cake punches and eating a ton of shots in return. Starts bleeding over and under his eye and his mouth. Doesn't look to be in any danger, but the doctor stops the fight between the 1st & 2nd round. He leaves the ring yelling and giving the ref/doctor the one finger salute. One thing I'll give Diaz, is that when you think he's done, he fights harder. I'll see if I can find a vid of the fight.

The UFC seems to be on its way to being finished. I almost can't bear to watch it anymore. I hope HDNet fights can get going and M-1 can organize some legitimate fights over the next little while.

Griffin a title fight?
Arlovski on the shelf?
Sherk an immediate title fight after being busted for roids?
No real competition, save Dan Heno, for Anderson Silva?
Fight Nights with Burkman as the headlining fight?
Ken Flo not getting a title shot?
Jardine on the shelf after whooping Chuck's ass?
Contract disputes with Tito, Randy, Barnett, Lindland?
