honestly - read that this morning and thought the same. What a idiot. He got totally outclass/dominated by a half fit GSP (according to reports) and wants to throw all the rubbish about drugs etc in to the mix to try and get another shot.

If I was Dana i would happily boot him.

my 2p's worth. All at the same weight, Silva beats GSP, but Jones beats Silva.

If Diaz didn't make so many excuses, this complaint might be taken more seriously. It's not impossible that GSP's tiredness could have been due to a tough weight cut. If that was the case, then cutting a further .9 lbs would be significant for someone that was already struggling. I just find it odd that officials declared this .9 lb allowance when it's written in the contract that the weight is 170 and title fights have to be smack on the weight or under.

Hope all is well that ends well for Hardy

I actually think that might be the end for Hardy.

He spoke recently about his plan to retire fairly soon, within 2 years I think was his plan. With this diagnosis I think the end may come sooner than expected.

TUF was pretty good.

Good to see Luke brought back to Earth.  He was getting cocky.

Spoiler fail...

Re TUFI like the young Wrestler that won the first fight. He seems to be improving the most and Sonnen thinks a lot of him. Also wasnn't that bothered that the brit lost as I like the Kiwi guy, he seems nice.
Lastly, Lol at Bubba for being scared for his next fight. He clearly does not have the right mental attitude to make it as a MMA fighter, which is why he hasn't done so up til now

Most deffo.  Bubba came across as a right bitch.

The wrestler guy seems like a good kid and I liked the fact that they both came out swinging.

Would have liked to have seen more Rousey and Tyson.  Why have them there if you're not going to focus on them?

BigStu1972

I don't see the point in having Tyson there but agree Rousey should have got more airtime. Looking forward to a whole season of TUF with her coaching
