McG just revealed on Twitter PPV buy data, which is a breach of UFC protocol. Not sure what the punishment would be, but the distance between the UFC and McG is getting bigger.

Conor was going off on Diaz yesterday on Twitter. In the same breath he called out ND for making excuses for the first 8 minutes of the fight, then he went on to say the only reason he lost is because he gassed out...

Lol yep. He just needs to shut up, move on.

And as for the 'gassed' excuse, he was saying that as soon as the fight was over. Never really gave Diaz credit for simply landing strikes and making Conor dazed. To Conor's credit though, he was winning for quite a while, he just met someone with a good chin and who could respond from getting hit.

I'm OK with him beefing with the UFC, though I don't find everything he says to be a valid contention. But with regard to Diaz, he needs to stfu. He got beat and now he welched on the rematch. He should have nothing to say to Diaz.

I don't mind him beefing with authority in that sense, I just think he's done it in the wrong way. He made some fair points, but doing it in a way that takes you out of one of the biggest events in your history is somewhat dumb.

As far as his beef with the UFC, Conor is right, the UFC is doing it wrong with all the promotion they do. Conor knew how big this fight was for his career, he's off in Iceland training and the UFC wants him to do these stupid ass press tours when his Twitter and Instagram account trump what those stops do. You've got to have a formal press conference but there's no need to do relentless press.

Conor's stiking at 145 is devastating, at 170 and against a granite chin and skilled striker who's naturally a bigger man, not so much. Not having the endurance is a fault, he lost that fight to a guy on 11 days notice who was partying on a boat in another country when he got the call for the fight. They both had some extreme circumstances for the fight they had to overcome. So it's all even there, he lost, straight up.

And yeah, pretty dumb to take it as far as he did, will be interesting to see where this goes.

Tatiana looks to be the real deal. She just dominated Joanna's top pick. She has phenomenal wrestling. If her striking continues to improve, I think she'll be able to compete with the likes of Joanna, Claudia, and Rose.

JJ had perfect technique, Tatiana just outmuscled her. It wasn't fair. Tatiana will likely be the champ someday soon. She is beastly. Kinda boring tho....

Yeah, I'm not the biggest fan of wrestlers. I don't mind as long as they look for the finish. Lay and pray isn't my thing.

Paige VZ beef with RR

According to [Miesha] Tate, Ronda cussed out the Team Alpha Male star for congratulating Holly Holm after her title clinching win.

Miesha’s words:

“Paige told Miesha, “We were at a reebok deal recently, we were at a shoot and I was trying to find her [Ronda] so I could get a picture, and the reebok people said don’t ask Ronda for a picture. Stay away from Ronda don’t ask her for a picture.

Ronda found her later that day and cussed her out…

I guess Ronda said to her, **** you your fair weather *****. How dare you cross me… You congratulated Holly Holm for beating me, so **** you, you ****ing fair weather 115 pound fighter…

Paige came to me and told me, and I was like well, welcome to my world…”

Rhonda is as phony as her weak ass stare down before her fights. Loved watching her lights go out.

Rousey wasn't a phony when she was dismantling the entire division. Her bulldog approach against an elite striker with a perfectly executed gameplan backfired.

RR is still the best, IMO. She will beat HH and Miesha within the next 12 months. I don't get why she's such a big ticket, though. Who is actually a fan of hers?

She's going to have to fine tune her game plan against Holm and it still may not be enough. It's a really bad matchup for her. I have no doubt she'd beat Tate.
