“I thank Nick Diaz for saying no to the Condit fight. I think he’s in La-La Land. You lost your last two fights. You haven’t won since 2011. He’s probably beaten one or two wrestlers in his life. Look at his losses: GSP, Diego Sanchez, Joe Riggs; a lot of guys that could take him down or keep him cornered off. He’s a great fighter and nobody can take that away from him, but outside the cage, he’s a moron. If you think you can retire coming off back to back losses and think you’re gonna jump right back into a title fight…he’s just playing off the fact that he might be a great draw.” In a recent interview with Bloodyelbow.com’s Steph Daniels. UFC 171 co-main event participant, Tyron Woodley, has some choice words for Nick Diaz.

“TRT is the monkey that is off my back now. You guys need something to talk about. TRT was fun wasn’t. Oh that was fun. You could write six – seven page stories about it, and Vitor (Belfort), and now it’s gone. What is next guys?… I never defended him, I hit you with facts. I stated facts, it’s not like I was defending – and then everything was always Vitor, Vitor, Vitor, there’s other guys that are on this stuff, not just Vitor. At the end of the day the media got what they wanted. The media got what they wanted. He’s banned. He’s not fighting Chris Weidman, and the media got what they wanted. They wanted no Chris Weidman fight with Vitor.”

Hendricks went to a local gym and dropped the remaining weight, coming in at exactly 170 pounds. Like many in attendance, Dana White was surprised that Johny Hendricks had that much trouble cutting weight.

“I would love that. I’ve always said that, I never would’ve found women’s MMA if I hadn’t seen her (Gina Carano) fight. To fight her would be a real honor and I think that’d be a milestone for the sport. But, I mean, you can’t fight for anyone but yourself. I wouldn’t want her to fight for any other reason than if she wants to fight. It’s a personal decision for everyone. (Carano deserves a title shot due to) everything that she’s done for the sport and the pioneer that she is.
