UFC 137: Penn vs. Diaz

[FullyMeltedDome]

True. If he can keep himself out of trouble he can go far in the UFC.

Hell never beat GSP.It will be a slugfest though.Cant wait to see it.Ive been watchin UFC from the beginning,and im a fan of skillz.But im also a Fan of how people carry themselves and treat others.And just because Diaz is a good fighter,i could care less because hes a disrespectful piece of crap.MMA is all about respect,thats MMA 101,you learn that as a kid.Personnality for me is big and i could never be a Fan of someone who doesnt know how to act.No matter how good of a fighter he is.Hell never be a Champ at 170 in the UFC,i would bet anything.Because even after GSP,theres matchups that will give him too much trouble,imo.But he is lb4lb a top fighter,and top douchebag.

UFC Primetime is on tonight @ midnight on Fox.
Looks like it is a preview of the upcoming Cain Velasquez/Junior Dos Santos fight coming up November 11, and a general preview from Fox about their upcoming series for which they signed a $100 Million contract for the right to telecast UFC fights for the next seven years.

Loving this post-fight picture -

Great picture. It really highlights the size difference between these two men. Props to BJ for taking on a much larger guy, but I really think he was well out of his weight class. He should not be fighting guys that much bigger. 155 is his real weight class, but I guess he just didn't want to cut weight. Can't imagine why. They say he trains really hard, but it doesn't look like he does enough running, or he wouldn't have that baby fat around his middle. Anyway it was a great fight. I'm still tripping on it today....
Would still like to see BJ compete @ 155, but I guess he's done. Can't imagine how these guys take the punishment they do and remain on their feet. Both of them took numerous shots that would put a normal person down, but they just refuse to go down.

Nick Diaz set a new record at UFC 137.

According to FightMetric, the official statistics gathering site of the UFC, Diaz now holds the record for ‘Most Significant Strikes’ landed in a single fight.

He landed a total of 178 ‘significant’ strikes on Penn over the course of their three round battle. Significant strikes are those that are judged to have landed with some degree of impact and so would not include, for example, a glancing blow to the midriff.

GSP vs Diaz could be a good fight but I hope GSP outclasses him and wins.

outclass? the only thing GSP has on Diaz is wrestling. The only way GSP can beat him is by laying on top of Nick for 5 rounds and hoping for a judges' decision.

That means that BJ set a record for most punches taken!
