Is anyone else into this fight? Diaz stole a win last time, but this is an intense rivalry!! Trying to find a way to watch it online...

thanks for the reminder!

Should be great.....

I saw on CBSSportsline, McGregor is going to make $3m tonight and it's a record for UFC. That seems like an insignificant amount of money for the damage they're doing to each other, the short career they have and the amount of attention their bringing to the UFC. Why so low?

Just the way the pay structure in the UFC works. They don't give anywhere near to their fighters in percentage of revenue/profits vs say the other sports.

But, compared to boxing and other promotions, their lower card fighters are at least able to make some sort of a living. They also do a much better job promoting their fighters overall vs boxing. It's a well run organization, but the fighters probably should form some sort of a union.



Also, remember, a lot of these guys make a lot of money off endorsements. At least the big names.




As for the fights, MacGreggor vs Diaz got better as the fight went on, but I just don't get it. Diaz is a very experienced fighter, but somewhere between elite and journeyman level. Sort of a gate keeper. He'll never be a champion or really a contender. Although Diaz has got a heckuva chin, lol. Both Diaz brothers can take a real beating, now if they'd only check some leg kicks......

I thought it was 3 rounds (2,3,5) to 2 for Diaz though. But is what it is. Now it's time for Conor to prove how good he is by defending his featherweight title or giving up the title and fighting for the Lightweight Title in that weight class. Either way, I want to see him fight someone other than Nate Diaz, a guy who has lost a lot of fights in his career.



lol, my friends were over and a couple who aren't big fans were complaining about how long it was taking for the main event, I explained Texiera vs Johnson would be short. But I didn't expect it to go down like that. 13 seconds. I've always liked watching Rumble Johnson fight, all the way to back in the day he was like a lightweight or whatever

And the Cowboy and Garbarandt are always exciting. I'd like to see Garbrandt fight Dillashaw, but one of those two have to fight Cruz I guess. Plus two good fights by the ladies.

Overall, great event IMO.

I also had the Diaz v MacGreggor in favor of Diaz 3-2 one hellava fight tho...on a side note I was pulling for Diaz. I think the third match between these two will go to Diaz, to finish the trilogy.

Wow my boy "Rumble" Johnson, on hellava of an uppercut for the knock out...13 seconds wow

My boy "Cowboy" also won...good flippin' fight.

Garbrandt calling out Cruz was fun after he knocked his opponent out. Would like to see that fight next.

missed the rest of the card so will have to go back and watch it.

also next Saturday will be CM Punk's debut.

God, enough with this whole Diaz vs MacGreggor thing

Let them fight other people. Diaz should go up vs one of the high rated lightweights next, and Conor should go up vs Jose Aldo (or give up his belt). We've got a champion who just fought two fights in a row without the belt on the line, in a totally different weightclass.

I'm just sick of it.



See, I'd rather see Garbrandt vs Dillashaw. I always thought Dillashaw got robbed in his fight vs Cruz, and those two would duke it out and we'd have a heckuva fight.

Cruz is an amazing fighter, but I feel like he's boring to watch. Just his style. It's extremely difficult to fight, and I get why he's so successful. It's just kinda boring.

Dillashaw and Cody would just fight, and you'd have two awesome strikers do their thing.



It was funny lastnight, Cruz was talking about how to beat Johnson and he was saying that you just can't let him touch you. lol, Rashad was saying basically that it's much easier to say that than do it because he's so big and quick. But that's sort of what Cruz does. He is so shifty, with this unorthodox movement that makes no sense to anyone but Domanick. He strikes then evades, strikes then evades. And it's extremely difficult for anyone to hit him
