    It is kinda behind though, so I'd stay clear of social media if you dont want to be spoiled.

    EDIT: Just compared it to the taima one I'm using, and it's 30 seconds behind.

    Diaz is a chump, he talks so much smack about wanting a fight, doesn't want to fight unless he gets the opponents he wants...but when he gets it and gets in the octagon, he just taunts all 5 rounds and doesn't press forward. Wouldn't it be nice if Diaz actually TRIED and cared to test himself against the very best ever?

    Les be honest, Anderson Silva didn't push forward much. He taunted to try and get Silva to push forward and it barely happened.

    If were being honest, Diaz won all 5 rounds...hence the busted up eye and the multiple upper body bruising. How does the scoring work with taunts and inactivity with the judges? Because I think Diaz scored a lot of his significant points there.

    Damage at the end of the fight shouldn't be the only thing we look at to tell how competitive the fight was. Someone can land a few shots and bust people open. Also seeing as how a lot of the shots Diaz threw, were those leg kicks. There was a lot of inactivity from both fighters during all 5 rounds. Diaz just happened to fill his inactivity with taunts that he's known for. Silva just stood there during most of them. Silva no doubt won in the end though.

    EDIT: Don't agree with the 2 judges scoring it 50-45 though.

    Say what you will about Nick Diaz, but he's now fought the GOAT LW, BJ Penn, goat WW, GSP, and now the goat MW Silva.

    Diaz is an OG

    I hope Diaz sticks around. I think Anderson should retire. He got his win, he's 39 nothing more to prove listen to your sons and retire.

    It was crazy though even though the main event was a lot of taunting and both not really pushing the pace so much, Nick did stand with SIlva for 5 rounds. Silva threw some pretty crazy kicks with his previous broken leg to which made it seem like he's comfortable to use it. He should retire though.

    Pretty sure he was the only one pressing forward last night, and I'm pretty sure he's the only human being on earth who's ever fought Anderson, GSP, and BJ. That's definitely called testing yourself. I want whatever you're smoking

    Lol ya! There was one I think in the 3rd or 4th round where he threw a leg kick at Diaz with his previous broken leg and last second he turned it so that the side of his foot hit Diaz's leg and not the top. As it was happening I went Oh boy he's going to break it again lol.

    EDIT: Weidman injured again? For someone who's suppose to be the classy American champion he trashed talked Belfort for TRT and other times yet he keeps getting injured. Pull it together bud.

    Newsflash its his job to show up. Yes the UFC makes it clear every time the Nick Diaz fights to let us know that he always "shows up to fight" and that he's down to fight anybody especially the top talent. Although after tonight it's quite clear that instead of taking advantage of the opportunity in front of him, he'd rather spend time trash talking and taunting. The opportunity being going one on one with a legit legend and best of all time, having the possibility to bring the fight to him and maybe even beat him and thus raising your brand to a new unseen level. It's his "thing" right to taunt and trash talk well it doesn't work anymore, he got ZERO reaction from Silva, to the point Silva just back up when he didn't want to fight or gave him "free shots". But you're right Diaz ain't very smart because after the first round he should of realized he was going to lose if he continued as he was, and he obviously did...when Silva did press forward he landed more and as you mentioned, Diaz moving forward was not working, Silva was just to fast for him.

    Diaz is entertaining though, its fun to see hi make an a--- out of himself

    In his defense, he tried to get the doctors to let him fight but they wouldn't clear him

    Ah ok. Hopefully he gets well soon. MW is pretty good now. It was a bit thin for a while but starting to get better.

    EDIT: My joke was he's waiting for Belfort to get super old and then win lol.
