TMZ reporting that Nick Diaz retired after a loss to GSP, according to sources.

[kato]

I like GSP but i'm officially sick and tired of watching this dude fight. I can't stand it anymore.

[Moolah]

Lol, Diaz said that he's never paid taxes before in his life and he's probably gonna go to jail. Also said that he couldn't work out what to do with the time differences in Canada so he just went to sleep on the day of the fight and woke up at 8:00pm.

[dubs]

[the dead poet]

saved by the fucking bell haha

[bbatson1]

AA got fucked up. Broken jaw and half of his lower teeth were knocked out.

[dubs]

The.crowd was the worst.ever. People booing every fight.
Yelling dumb shit like PUNCH HIM IN THE FACE AND KNOCK HIM OUT MOTHERFUCKER. the usual suspects the tapout crowd.

Marlon moraes...badass dude. Destroyed tyson nam. And he talks like a mixture of mike tyson and jackson. I felt bad for him in post fight interview. Crowd was hysterical when he started talkin.

Bas rutten was there. Cool guy.

Paulo was only there for a check. Some of the shit he was throwing looked like he hadnt even trained for the fight.i know he almost missed the fight because he had a panic attack at the airport. He will never live up to his old self.

[jamrage]

Not sure how old this is, but good for some cheap laughs.

Marcus Brimage vs. Conor McGregor

[the dead poet]

fucking sweeeds didn't realize it was on so early. Luckly FB prelims allow you to rewind.

[Smitty]

That was a really great card, lotsa good finishes, a shame we didn't get to see Gustafson/Mousasi though.

Lookin forward to tomorrow's fights. The UFC's tall foreheads allowed ads featuring Uriah Hall and Josh "Shitbird" Samman to be released months ago so it's pretty certain they'll be moving thru to the finale.

I'm gonna feel bad for Dylan Andrews though, he may be the guy Dana mentioned having an anxiety attack prior to his scrap with Uriah...

[Smitty]

Well, well. Josh Samman lost.

Happy to have been proved wrong.

[bbatson1]

This has been a good ass card.

[HopeLess]

Damn Cat put it on Tate in that last round

[HopeLess]

And so fucking glad Maximo got a win. He could be a force at 145.

[HopeLess]

Was also very surreal seeing my old boss from Holds Gym in Samman's corner last night. Crazy.
