http://sports.yahoo.com/mma/news;_y...=dm-strikeforcediaz081009&prov=yhoo&type=lgns Summary: Commision wanted a pre fight test, Diaz knew he would have failed, skips it, fight gets cancelled. ****, I like some pot now and then, but when you have already been suspended and had your biggest win turned to a no contest, you think you would be a little more careful. Now instead of Diaz vs Hieron, we get Hieron vs Jesse "JT Money" Taylor atsch. Hell, Hieron as a replacement for Riggs, which would have either been a rematch or rubber match depending on if you count the Diaz vs Riggs in the hospital fight. The rematch made that interesting, but Hieron is probably a better fight all around. JT is a fine fighter, but Diaz vs Hieron was both a meaningful fight rankings wise, and potentially a fight of the year candidate waiting to happen.
Diaz is a guy i just cant tolerate. He's sooooo unprofessional. And in my eyes he actually isnt even that good. His Jujitsu is solid but his boxing?!?!? Why do i keep hearing about he's ****ing boxing? Even his stoppage over Shamrock was flattering as Frank just looked like a really old man. He **** talked all the way through it and prior to that with a pig stink attitude that just wasnt neccesary. Why did he put his finger up at Frank when Frank went to shake his hand? I dont think this guy will ever fix up as frankly he's a pothead and a serious one at that.
Disapointing but it didnt **** up Strikeforce we still got Carano vs Cyborg, Babalu vs Mousasi and Ishida vs Melendez.
I never been really impress with diaz. His striking isn't really all that but he does have good bjj. anyways i hope he can fight cung le in the future or have one fight with anderson silva at 185. I hope white can make it happen since he doesn't like diaz, he can feed him to silva and see him get KO:rofl
Diaz couldn't even beat Sanchez at WW, he would get mauled by GSP, Fitch and Alves and at Middleweight he is toast as well. He needs to stay in Strikeforce
Shame, Diaz is too imature to understand he is wasting some valuable prime years. (He has the rest of his life to enjoy the Ganja, what an idiot) & I like the Diaz bros. Oh well...
I agree but this would be a huge win for Taylor if he can get it. I'm interested to see what he has. Also, seeing how his last fight went, it's great that he can get right back in the cage.
I'd like to see Lesner get a pre-fight test. Of course, that would never happen to a zuffa fighter suspected of drug use. You guys always complain about the wrong people. It's like you look up to bankrupt criminals like the fertittas. Idol worship is stupid. But at least find a worthy idol.
He has you idiot. So have several big name Zuffa fighters, one of the top of my head that was certainly suspected of steroid use due to a postitive test, Sean Sherk. Sherk and BJ both passed, BJ passed another one before the last fight, GSP has passed them. Just again shows how little you actually know or care about MMA. Not as bad as your bull**** Mizugaki insult, but just to repeat for emphasis; If Zuffa never ****ing existed you should still know Mizugaki is one of the best 135lbers in the world. Especially since you claim to be such an expert on the issue of what "real MMA" is all about. You think somebody who claims to be all about the purity of the sport would now about ****ing Shooto. The guy was absolutely great in Shooto and Cage Force (GCM at the time he was there). Are you Kazja13 perchance? The nutjob who got banned from the UG? We get it, you hate Zuffa and even though MMA has become 100x bigger with them around, you think they are trying to kill the sport, we get it. Maybe post something original, something about some other organizations, other fighters, there are plenty out there; I suppose its easier to just say the same bull**** over and over again rather than provide real information on the sport you claim to love. If you actually give a **** about the sport, why not provide us with some information about some of the non zuffa mma in the world, that would be the best way to take peoples minds off Zuffa. But please, we're all dieing to hear something besides, or at least in addition to how the Fertittas are the mafia, Dana is evil, blah blah blah blah blah.
excellent post beebs :deal, i said something along similar lines in another thread just no as elloquent as this.
If Diaz skipped the test because he has something to hide (which it appears) wouldn't it be more likely that it was something other than THC he was worried about. There at least used to be a bunch of over the counter stuff you could take to clear that in a couple of days. Plus it appears from the article that he had at least a week or two notice that they wanted to test him.
diaz is an idiot, if he was smoking **** it shows he is still as unprofessional as ever, and as for those strikeforce commentators who said his boxing was as good as elite boxers who were at the top of their game was the worst comment i think i have ever heard, he can throw combos that flow but his boxing even for mma standard is below average
