So did Diaz successfully take that drug test?

Diaz is scheduled for today’s conference call with the media… So updates will be coming today.

Dodging a test for any reason is usually a bad sign....

Lets give him the benefit of the doubt. Maybe he just forgot about the test because he was ~~high~~ busy training.

Ishida +210? WTF?

ROFL!

People HAVE to take that bet, even if they think Melendez will win. That’s insane.

I’ll take Carano, Heiron, Babalu and Ishida all day long.

I’d roll with all of those except Carano. I think Cyborg takes the fight to the ground and gets the sub.

If you’re gonna pick someone to win by submission I would probably take the one who has actually subbed someone before (Carano).

Walla walla walla I'm an idiot.

Gina’s got this

A couple of concerns for this card:

If Diaz does have to pull out with this short of notice, that fight may be scrapped all together.

Also, if Kyle somehow pulls off the upset then there goes one of the top names being thrown around as a contender for Fedor.

On the positive side, even if Carano does lose she is still completely marketable.

The more I read about Frank and his history in MMA, the more I respect the guy. He did hit on her but so does Ariel Helwani haha.
