    Great fight. There will be a third fight. Diaz looked like he got his ass beat by 4 guys in an alley.

    Yeah. I don't know that Duaz will drop the #15 to run at 155, but it is going to be be a definite 3rd!

    It's an amazing sport. Plenty of rules now- don't think of the "no holds barred" days.

    Honestly haven't ever watched a second before - I have this ever growing aversion to violence. Hard to explain. It wasn't there before - just in the last 3 years or so.

    It may be a brutal sport, yes. But it is not strict out right violence. It is a sport that requires serious conditioning, rigorous training, and elite strategy. It requires intense focus, dedication, and versatility; it is a mix of so many variations of martial arts, wrestling styles, and boxing skills, that it is a sport unlike any other. It is not violence, it is a trained and skilled sport. Saying that it is just violence is saying that It requires no skill whatsoever, and it does.

    Oh, I don't doubt the 'sport' aspect.
