Nick Diaz No Shows UFC 137 Pre-Fight Media Call
Diaz better set his clock, and arrange for a follow up wake up call from the front desk, cab and directions to the press confrence…
Cant wait for the 29th! And on another note, I think Cerrone vs Siver should be on the main card instead of Jorgensen/Curran. just my opinion..
amen!
BJ looks fat. He hasn’t been training for this fight. His cardio will come into question again. It’s ashame because BJ has so much talent.
@Dan ^^ Quickly go kill urself. u could pull it off nobody would notice since u are an outkast. do us all a favor
thats just how bj is when he fights at 170 looked the same when he knocked out matt hughes in 21 seconds sure diaz is a different animal
I’ve been browsing on-line greater than three hours today, yet I by no means found any fascinating article like yours. It’s lovely value sufficient for me. In my opinion, if all web owners and bloggers made good content material as you probably did, the web will probably be much more useful than ever before.
