F*CK GSP!!!
hahaha couldnt have said better myself. but i do feel bad for condit bc he was going to be next ww champ next weekend.
Will nick diaz be there?
No, I’ll be too busy doing some ground n pound on your mom
that was so lame lol
I hope Nick doesn’t show just to piss all the goody-goody-I-lick-my-bosses-asshole off.
I wonder if Diaz will show? maybe his 100k lawyer person will tell him to be there
All the bullshit aside, he’ll show up when fight night arrives, and that’s what’s most important to me. I could give a damn about the press conference
I guess I, like everyone else, was thinking the same thing if Nick will show up. It almost looks like a setup. A surprise press conference !! WTF.
lol they always have a pre-fight presser.
is it the 29th yet
Patience my son.
Man I cant wait for this showdown…Nick looks to be in great shape.. Fight of the year right here..
