GSP has a torn ACL, Condit and Diaz to fight for interm title at UFC 143.

War Condit lol

oh god

in before the words you know bitch french pussy money not-enough-of rashad evans like fuk you all grunt grunt look sideways fuk you ariel words are used in an upcoming nate diaz interview

My god, GSP... Dunno what to say except I cant remember the last time GSP had to pull out of a fight because he was hurt, and now he's done it twice against the same person in 6 months or something.

Condit is a beast, he is the true #1 contender, he just doesn't have the big name yet. If Diaz finishes Condit, I'll get on the hype train, otherwise he's just a mid-tier winning fighter imo.

wtf Miguel Torres was released for that?

That twitter quote isn't the exact quote he got fired over. He deleted the original and reposted that one. Apparently it comes from "It's always sunny in Philadelphia" but I haven't rewatched the episode to check (which is one of the best shows ever BTW).

Basically IMO it's retarded to fire him over that and this is one of the few times that I think Dana is acting like a complete cock. There is an interview with Helwani where he says at the start of it that he calls all the guys when they do this sort of stupid shit to get their side of the story (ie/ Forrest re: rape comments and Rashad re: rape comments). But then 5 minutes later says he never called or talked to Miguel about it, he had his people do it and word back was that, "it was a joke". Apparently that was the length and breadth of the explanation which sounds like complete bullshit to me.
