Diaz fighting stoned got Carlos to have the runs. j/k. Diaz messed up huge. I'm a fan of his but didn't believe in the whole rematch idea and now this. Damn.

I guess this was why the rematch was never official. Cesar Gracie knew Diaz was going to **** hot. I can't even keep track of how much money Diaz has screwed himself out of with this move. The UFC won't cut him because he's a polarizing fighter who draws in the fans but he'll be on the shelf for a long time and won't get an immediate title shot.

Should GSP drop the title in favor of Carlos (which he totally should), Juggernaut gets the next crack at it.

The article makes the guy sound like he didn't much care for Diaz in the first place. I'm not going to make excuses for Diaz but weed being a PED is pretty much laughable. Oh well, its not like the UFC didn't know, that is probably one reason he won't get cut.

Kizer already explained why it's legal, not because it's a PED but because it can make you lathargic and jeopardize the person taking it, whereas PED is more about the safety of the opponent.

I don't think the writer of the article sounded like that at all, but after all of the countless times he's mentioned Diaz letting everyone down, how can you still be a diaz fan? The facts are that he's a manchild, he's NOT the greatest fighter in the world, he doesn't follow anyones rules etc etc.. I find it hard to believe anyone can still be a diaz fan after all this ****.

For me, I couldn't stand Nick and Nate until I started training and sparring etc. Then as fighters they started to grow on me just because of how real they were and what I understood in the gym. Its more of an appreciation I suppose. Its hard to just drop Nick even though he may not do the right things. He is as real of a fighter as it gets.

      By the sounds of that wall of Fox News propaganda gibberish attacking the Democratic Party you've already had plenty of "juices" flowing this morning. You've ruined what could have been a productive comment thread.
    • Why it's almost impossible to produce a smartphone in the United States

      (Topic to get the juices flowing this Sunday morning!...) Actually, the situation has almost nothing to do with "lack of skills", especially since assembly-line skills can be taught to anyone, including Americans, certainly. Rather, the inadequacy-to-impossibility of large-scale tech manufacturing in America today, and the reasons why America finds tech manufacturing completely onerous in the 21st century, has to do with politically driven laws amid a plethora of non-scientific, utterly politicized "science-fact" that is patently false, punitive business taxation at every turn, an array of judicial fines of unimaginable scope and complexity, and, last but not least, American unionization strictures that serve to actually slay job creation and hobble all such manufacturing endeavors in America before they can get off the ground. Globalism emerged, they tell us, as the needed answer to American hubris and an unholy American drive to excel. Unless one is buried under mounds of political propaganda, it's easy to see the absurdity of labeling the employees of SpaceX, for instance, as "unskilled labor"... Etc. ad infinitum. At one time in the recent past, American manufacturing prowess was the envy of the world in a wide variety of technical fields! The current federal and state government roadblocks against America becoming competitive globally in tech manufacturing are considerable, it's true, as anyone with a working brain knows. But remarkably, that is only half the story! The other half of the story is, of course, the corporations themselves... Chinese tech manufacturing is simply unassailable in terms of profits, because the Chinese government wants to see its tech manufacturing second-to-none globally so that no companies/nations can compete in terms of ROI, and China has completely succeeded in that goal. Let's tic-off a few things: *Chinese tariff policies are set according to what is considered best for Chinese business, Chinese employees, and the Chinese people. Huge difference with how things are done with tariffs in the US--as the US government (SCOTUS in this case, Congress in others) plainly feels that tariffs are "unfair" for the limited number of citizens who may pay them, whereas nothing is "unfair" when Congress considers the Personal Income Tax rates to be infinitely hike-able, along with infinitely enlarging annual budget deficits. *The Chinese government boldly subsidizes Chinese companies to artificially amplify their profits. *The Chinese government deliberately refuses to avidly demonize Chinese businesses and does not consider Chinese businesses "the enemy", so very unlike American (D)s these days. *Chinese labor laws and businesses are allowed to set their own labor policies according to what Chinese companies consider is best for companies and their employees... Simply put, American workers in tech manufacturing are not allowed to set their own labor policies! It is the height of hypocrisy for Americans to decry working conditions in China while simultaneously ensuring that American products are manufactured in China, not in the US, simply to maximize profits. There is nothing wrong with making a profit, of course, absolutely nothing. But there is plenty wrong with attempts to normalize hypocrisy of this kind! But rank hypocrisy and the (D) party in the US are longtime bedfellows... The current government in Washington is working overtime to see if it can toss out the horribly poor, failed economic policies of the past, while the (D)s still in Washington work very hard to bring back the stupidity whenever possible. With the right policies in place, America can be an infinitely competitive manufacturer.
