off topic, but it is really wild to me how Stipe Miocic wasn't pushed to the moon in the way the way Forrest Griffin and Liddell were. Even before the UFC became the footstool for the Trump Administration. He literally had it all. Blue Collar, child of immigrants from the Rustbelt. Did he even get a commercial spot?
Modelo's beer. Dude not being able to speak coherent English probably hurt him a bit.
On paper Leon is a terrible matchup for Nate - accurate striker who's proven he can go 5 rounds before versus a guy who gets marked and cut up easily
The size difference was apparent in the face off at the presser, Leon was towering over Nate who's usually always the taller man

Diaz has been beat by everybody under the moon and hasn't finished anyone above 5'8 in over a decade (see page 1 for further details) ...
it's the same nonsense as to why 15-loss Masvidal got back to back title shots this past year. they both were undeserved, but because he blew up on Instagram, he got the fights ...
Dana just doubled down today however and said that Usman vs Covington 2 is the next title fight, but it's possible that IF Diaz wins this weekend, he will get the winner of that title fight ... think about how absurd that is ....12-loss Diaz who's 1-2 in the last five years is suddenly going to be next in line for a title shot
Marcelo Rojo, a UFC featherweight and coach to incoming flyweight title challenger, Brandon Moreno, has posted numerous racist images aimed at current flyweight champion, Deiveson Figueiredo — in which Rojo has replaced Figueiredo’s face with that of a monkey.
Rojo, 32, made numerous posts on his official Instagram account during the pre-fight press conference last night ahead of UFC 263 this weekend in Glendale, Arizona — replacing Figueiredo with an image of a monkey. Rojo’s account has since been switched from public to private.
The Argentine native posted on his story, a picture of Figueiredo speaking during last night’s press event, with the Para native’s face replaced by a superimposed image of a monkey, with the caption reading; “@daico_deusdaguerra that push only show fear.” Figueiredo, who had spoken critically of Moreno during the event went on to push the Baja California challenger in the chest during the face-offs after the press conference.
On his story, Rojo features another image of Figueiredo, who is once more replaced by a superimposed image of a monkey, whilst a follower posts; “The Brazilian monkey doesn’t know English.“” while another asks Rojo to point his camera to UFC middleweight champion, Israel Adesanya.
In a third post from Rojo, he posts a picture of a monkey carrying a stick, wearing jewelry and dressed in a coat and pants — alluding to Figueiredo, posting; “Let’s teach him who the real tough guy is.“
In another post, Rojo reshared a message which read; “Mexicans came from Indians, Brazilians from the jungle and Argentines arrived in boats from Europe. I wish a couple of monkeys like Cafu (former AS Roma, A.C. Milan footballer and 2002 FIFA World Cup winner with Brazil) and Ronaldo (former FC Barcelona, Inter Milan, and Real Madrid footballer and 2002 FIFA World Cup winner with Brazil) had come from the jungle and we had won five World Cups. Unfortunately, people with YouTuber faces like the son of a thousand p*** arrived here on European boats. of Foyth“ (in reference to Argentine national team defender and Villarreal player, Juan Foyth.) (H/T Combate)
Rojo has competed once under the UFC’s banner, dropping a third round knockout defeat to Charles Jourdain at UFC Vegas 21 in March in his promotional debut. Rojo is currently booked to fight Kevin Croom at UFC Vegas 36 in August. As of writing, the UFC are yet to make an official statement regarding Rojo’s posts.

All I needed to know
funny how this also just happened recently
Argentine President Offends With Comment: ‘Brazilians Emerged from the Jungle’
He just wasn't interesting. Dude looks generic af, is as dry as the Sahara, and has a weird voice. It would be money burned promoting him. He's what Colby Covington would have been if he didn't go the ultra-heel route.

When you get the puters puting, halfway white and have a cult following that will pay to see you fight.. you get huge fights that you don’t deserve , even if you’re a Journey man. Shouts out to Maga Street Jesus.
Nate tryna get his shyt scrambled?
Figs needs to put that spicycac away.
How does this belt change hands?for the double digit loss, BMF fighter fans out there ... there are two BMF's on this PPV card.
12-loss, Nate Diaz
- Diaz is 1-2 in his last three fights (4-5 in his last nine)
- has only fought three times in five years
- Diaz is 6ft tall and hasn't finished anyone above 5'8 in well over a decade (Rory Markham 2010)
10-loss, Demian Maia
- Maia is 3-4 in his last seven fights
- in fairness to him, he did lose to Woodley, Covington, and Usman all back to back to back
- Maia is coming off of a brutal TKO loss to Gilbert Burns
with the current BMF Champion, Jorge Masvidal, producing back to back losses (and 3-4 in his last seven fights), surely either Diaz or Maia will be next in line for the BMF belt.
@You know damn well
