Diaz is gonna get fucked up

[whiteyford]

Royally so.

[DaveBrawl]

It will be glorious.

[whiteyford]

Then he can retire again.

[Kris P Lettus]

The build up and hype for this fight will be unbelievable.

[Crimson]

I'll buy it. Diaz will sit out for a title shot after Silva ko's him

[Sepholio]

If Silva loses this somehow, will it tarnish his legacy? Or will people just write it off as him maybe having a bum wheel?

Either way, I think Silva wins in the first round, second round at the latest.

[alvarado52]

I don't think it effects his legacy what so ever. He'll still go down as the greatest, but he's only human and time catches up with everyone.

[Jura]

A lot of comments are negative towards Silva's ability especially after the leg snap. If he loses they will still be saying he's washed up and if he wins the same people will say Diaz is rusty or not even that good in the first place. His doctor said the leg will be stronger than ever especially with a titanium rod inserted in there so I don't think it'll be a problem. The problem will be if he's back mentally after losing 2 in a row by a mistake and an injury. I personally hope we see the old Silva and also a new Silva get back to title contention and have one more shot at the title. If the champion is still Weidman if Silva makes that comeback then it's going to be one hell of story if he wins.

[Crimson]

I never thought of it that far ahead, but the UFC should pray for that to happen. The story would be amazing.

[RP]

What's the odds Diaz even makes it to the weigh in?

[Stickman]

There is no reason for Silva to not completely destroy Diaz. To me if he doesn't it is a sign he is nearly done. The Weidman fights do not indicate him being on a decline, this fight will if Diaz puts up a fight.

Diaz got arrested in Lodi

[The Mask]

What the fuck is that?

[Kris P Lettus]

Nick Diaz being (unintentionally) hilarious before the GSP fight.

[Innovator]

Man Diaz is gonna get hurt

[Crimson]

Odd how all the promos I've seen on TV don't even have Silva there. One of the greatest of all time you would think they would try to put him in there somewhere.
Its basically a Diaz promo.

[Kris P Lettus]

They made Diaz heavy ones and Silva heavy ones

[Crimson]

Hadn't seen that one. Now they shoulda combined both and made a good one I think.

[RP]

Really worried about Silva's leg. I think he's rushing back.

[Innovator]

I'm worried about Diaz's front leg

[Kris P Lettus]

I think Anderson will win but I think it will be much more heavily contested than most are predicting.

[RP]

As much as I love Diaz, I think barring Anderson twisting his leg again, he'll probably kick the shit out of Nick Diaz. But I'm rooting for Diaz.

[Clerk]

Don't worry about his leg. It's fucking metal now. He will shit on Diaz.

[RP]

Your brain is metal

[NoJabbaNoBogRoll]

I can see Anderson wanting to make a statement by coming out and throwing a lot of hard kicks.

[Crimson]

Diaz doesn't care how he loses he just wants to get paid.

Anybody have a link to the full fight?

[Crimson]

Had to miss this fight. Surprised it went 5 tho

[Kris P Lettus]

It was hilarious

[Kris P Lettus]

The whole card was great too. Too bad everyone slept on

[Clerk]

Wow too bad the super bowl over shadowed this. What a stupid decision to have it super bowl weekend.

[Kris P Lettus]

They do a big card every year super bowl weekend

I bet this got over 700k buys

Not good enough for an Anderson Silva fight

[Crimson]

Because they have all sorts of Superbowl coverage on a Saturday night?

[Kris P Lettus]

What Silva fights are you comparing it too?

[Clerk]

Yes why wouldn't they 1 day before the game?

From ufc.com


“On February 3, 2015, the UFC organization was notified by the Nevada State Athletic Commission that Anderson Silva tested positive for Drostanolone metabolites on his Jan. 9 out of competition drug test. UFC’s understanding is that further testing will be conducted by the Commission to confirm these preliminary results.

“Anderson Silva has been an amazing champion and a true ambassador of the sport of mixed martial arts and the UFC, in Brazil as well as around the world. UFC is disappointed to learn of these initial results.

"The UFC has a strict, consistent policy against the use of any illegal and/or performance enhancing drugs, stimulants or masking agents by its athletes."

[Innovator]

Well that's real disappointing

[Kris P Lettus]

I'm still in the denial stage of grieving.
