I prefer the real beef over the fake stuff. Franklin vs Silva 2 Was a prime example of two fighters, with respect for eachother, squaring off a 2nd time!

As far as the Diaz brothers are concerened. They are a bit on the thug side, but Nick showed Muhsin respect after the fight so I think he shows signs of maturity. The bad blood just got the better of the brothers in the heat of the moment. I think Nate might have been the one really pushing the noons family buttons!

Gotta say KJ looked good on the counter, Diaz will have his hands full!

He can’t come within nine lbs of making weight in his tailor-made division. I don’t see how he even deserves the rematch yet. They’ll certainly give it to him for the theater value of the match, and it will probably be a good fight. But Nick Diaz has been sub-classless for the last year of so. How long can he coast off the Gomi fight?

I can tell you one thing for sure…the crowd will be in Noons’ corner as will most true MMA fans. Diaz does not represent true class of a MMA fighter. Sad. If he would talk less trash and smoke less herb maybe he could make weight. I am sure the weed caused him to get the munchies and miss weight by 9 pounds! He could be a decent fighter if he would take it more seriously. I am surprised at him because he is a Gracie fighter, and those guys should have instilles respect in fighting into the Diaz brothers, but they obviously haven’t.

You’re right Jason. It’s puzzling that two Gracie trained fighters can be such punks. They both act like they have a chip on their shoulders, like them against the world or something. Maybe if they just let their fighting do the talking they might be more respected.

It has been proved time after time that you don’t need “Bad Blood” to hype up a good fight. I prefer watching to classy guys who have respect for each other show pure classmanship. Nick Diaz really isn’t to be blamed in my opinion. I think that the upper management of EXC need to take accountability for the melee. This is not what the sport needs right now.
