Venom I won't lie that IS disappointing.
The fight itself was okay. Diaz is tough as nails and obviously worked on his kickboxing. Silva sparred for 5 rounds and was never in any danger. My biggest annoyance was whenever Silva would back Diaz against the cage and start hitting him Diaz would just cover up and refuse to counter. He didn't wana get caught but what can you do. Both made REALLY good money which is always cool because we know mma fighters don't get their worth. Also I think the fight decision either will be or already has been overturned to a no contest.
I felt bad for his bro Nate taking a beating when he obviously wasn't in fighting shape and probably just needed a paycheck.

Pettis was easy money for RDA. But I didn't call it. Thought Pettis was gonna do his thing and find a finish.
Presumably Khabib is gonna be the next champ but Cerone has apparently gotten better and RDA will be VERY motivated. Pettis will be back too. His bro took a bad loss too.

Since the thread is alive(!) I'll say couple things:
-JDS/Stipe was a good fight and Stipe got robbed.
-Rumble is scary
-Picking MacDonald over Lawler
-Aldo vs McGregor looks promising. Picking Aldo obviously
-Hunt vs Miocic is going to be a GREAT fight. Miocic should win it
-Dillashaw/Barao 2 will be epic. Going with Dillashaw as he seems to be quick enough
-Faber will be easy money for Edgar. Edgar's still champ material and Faber's faded.
-Machida v Rockhold will be exciting.
-Sorry Shinryu about Henderson :/ Mousasi is looking GREAT right now and will be in the title mix again.
-Crocop/Gonzaga 2 lol.
