He said in the p4p rankings he was #1-9, and Jon jones was maybe #10 and Mighty Mouse #11.
The crazy thing is I've seen videos of Bones and Conor chilling. You can tell Bones has a lot of respect for that man. Conor had absolutely no reason to diss him but dude was really letting all that hype get to his head. Bones still showed Conor love afterwards though.

To be a black belt in Jiu Jitsu along with being a skilled boxer requires extremely high intelligence.
(1) You DO NOT need to be "intelligent" in the way that MOST people define it to be a black belt in BJJ and be a decent boxer...That's MOSTLY based on rehearsal and muscle memory...

It is CONDITIONING...

(2) If we are talking about "intelligence" in the IQ academic sense, then my experience as a Healthcare Professional tells me that there is something "off" with Nate Diaz...

(3) But I am also a Humanist and I believe in "multiple intelligence"...And Nate Diaz is at the Top of his chosen profession, so he is "intelligent" in that regard...

Uhm actually you do, especially if you're competing at the professional level. They call fighting "kinetic chess" for a reason. There is a lot of REPETITION and muscle memory, but not rehearsal. You're thinking of shyt with preconceived bs scenarios that often don't play out in real, dynamic situations such as strip mall mcdojo karate or some shyt. That's rehearsal. shyt like Boxing and Jiu Jitsu, however, regularly place practicioners in live dynamic scenarios such as rolling and sparring where you take all that you've learned through repetition and apply it in live combat. The repetition merely sharpens the technique, the live combat tests how you will physically and mentally perform in a fight as you are putting all that you've learned together. That definitely takes intelligence, and when you're competing amongst the best in the world like Nate in the UFC, you are definitely intelligent. You go into a fight trying to use "rehearsed" shyt and you will get your ass whooped. Fights are more mental than physical, this is why they have something called "fight IQ".

So Rousey gonna get the shot at Miesha

Holm went to the bushes fast as fukk
It half makes sense but I think it makes more sense to have Holm vs Rousey then winner faces Tate for the title. The problem with that is it leaves Tate without. A fight for a fairly long time. Rousey has been out long enough and Tate would have a little break and still have time for a good camp if they fought at 200. It's a catch 22 because all the Rousey fan girls are clamouring for her to get the title back but also for her to fight Holm again. There's not THAT much excitement for a Tate vs Rousey 3 besides it being a title fight.

Dana never wanted to push Holm in the first place even when she had the belt. She destroyed his cash cow. Either way though, they're gonna have to run that Rousey/Holm II since she created a major blemish on Rousey's career :patrice:

(1) I understand your statement...The argument is essentially one of semantics...

(2) If you use a broad and a "socially inclusive" definition of intelligence, then any Human Being that has mastered how to perform something can be considered "Highly intelligent"...
