Riggs_vs_diaz

Diaz vs. Riggs II is off:

"Joe Riggs has pulled out of his fight with Nick Diaz after suffering a bad reaction to an as of yet undisclosed drug. According to sources close to the fighter, Riggs will be recovering in the hospital for the next couple of weeks and therefore unable to fight Diaz. At this time it is unclear if Riggs' problem is physical or mental."

"Nick Diaz however, will still be fighting on the card and it is expected that Strikeforce will be announcing Diaz's new opponent in the next couple of days."

Joe Riggs has freak accidents all the damn time. Seriously, it’s ridiculous.

As an card-carrying lardass

I’ve wondered if his years as a fattie haven’t put too much stress on his skeletal system. Joints, and tendons don’t just take all that abuse and then feel 100% afterward. I’m sure he felt stronger and faster, since he was, but he still had years of abuse to recover from. But he’s fighting or training for fighting all the time, so he’ probably doesn’t rest enough for his history.

If they say Vitor Belfort is a possibility, I’m going to hurt someone.

No idea, just thought it was funny joke to make. And I may or may not have watched some old SNL last night.

Probably not...

I wonder if GSP is in fighting condition?

I'll be back to add more in the next twenty-four...unless, by some mishap, someone K.O s FEDOR.

…it has been thrown out there

Still, that was before the injury.

either that or an allergy.

Most people would be shocked at the things normal perscription drugs can do to your body if your allergic.

Followed by the most one sided beating in the ring?
