uh diaz got submission of the night???
yes,,,can u think who had a better sub?
In the text it says Nate Diaz took home “Fight of the Night” instead of “Submission of the Night”.
Article says fight of the night twice, so The RobertH has every right to question it.
Sub of the night for nate
I have always been a bigtime fan of Diaz brothers but also a fan of Jim Miller who I consider one of the hardest working fighters in MMA and prob the best sportsman in MMA. Win or lose Jim Miller is a class act and still one of the best 155ers in world. Diaz has always been tuf as hell but he has stepped up his game bigtime noone submits Jim Miller. big props for both these warriors for leaving it all in cage to night. Anyone who ever doubted that the lighter classes as being worthy to be main event have been proven wrong time and time again and tonight was no exception. Big thanks to Joe silva for matching up two top 5 guys in world.
+1
Agreed, +1.
FOTN should have went to Belcher.
Nah.
Aw lol it was worth a try…. Belcher threw himself into the lion’s din and ktfo that lion!
As if kos check v Hendricks wasn’t fight of the night
Hell of a fight. They got bamboozled
I been on the Lavar Johnson bandwagon since before he was “big” Johnson. That sounds ghey…
Haha sounds pretty funny. Especially with Bruce Buffer screaming it at the top of lungs.
Back to the minors Barry, we’ve seen enough
He should drop weight lhw
Editor please help this guy out. Nate, not Nick. And Nate took submission of the night. YOu can’t give fight of the night to two different fights.
For the love of God…. i love BJ Penn, and use to love this site…. but they have gotten some really bad writers and terrible typos all the time now!!!!!!
I got so much hate from ops for noting that. It just keeps showing up, and now mixing up names, and mixing up accolades. Nick vs Nate. Nate wasn’t even fighting. LOL. Two fight of the nights. Where’s sub of the night. Yea, it’s pretty bad.
I mean Nick wasn’t. Well, ops can make an error I suppose. How many ops proofread… Easy to make an error, but when you’re an editor you need to proofread. At least I noticed.
Anyone realize it says nick not nate in the second sentence
WHAAT you guys didnt see when Nick jumped the cage and subbed miller?
lol I could just see the look on Miller’s face with two Diaz’s in the cage with him
“Don’t be scared, homie!” hahaha
