Essential The Official MMA Thread

Woodley started to train MMA because of Robbie Lawler. He had a gym near Woodley and Tyrone started to go there. Lawler was fighting on Strikeforce and Woodley wanted to fight too. He asked Robbie, Robbie gave him the number and Strikeforce put him on the Robbie Lawler's undercard. Then hype started getting around Woodley and literally the night before the fight Scott Coker signed him to a 6 fight deal because they believed in him

I think you mean Strikeforce breh.

Deserve doesn't mean shyt in this sport, I've begun to accept that. Woodley vs Nick Diaz would bring in the numbers and these new owners want to make money so

I get that they have their stanbase but I don't consider the Diaz brothers to be "exciting" or aesthetically pleasing fighters to watch where I gotta tune in to see them fight.

They come to fight and finish, I wish Nick would take his career as seriously as Nate does.

I don't see them doing Woodley/Diaz at all. It would be an uneventful match and Diaz would have tough time dealing with Woodley's wrestling. I see Lawler/Diaz II as more likely.

Edit: I read that Wonderboy is injured, he said he'll be ready for November. Woodley is healthy, so the Diaz fight is a possibility. Not many options.

How are they not exciting? Yes, the odd Nick fight can be lacklustre (especially if you decide not to trade with him). But for the most part, he's an exciting fighter.

They're both finishers. Nate has the most post-fight bonuses of any fighter on the roster. Both brothers can finish you on the ground or standing.

[The G.O.D II]

I would much rather see Ferguson vs Alvarez since he's more active and has a better record. But I could see why they would not want RDA va Khabib again. Diaz isn't fighting Woodley. I guarantee he doesn't want that even if its for a title. He better hope he does fight Wonderboy because if not its Maia. Either way he's losing. Same with Alvarez. The days of Silva and GSP are over. Belts are going to be changing like crazy. I think only JJ and DJ will dominant their division for a while
