The fact that Tony and Nick are fighting on the same card but not each other is the problem with the UFC

@thecardbunker801 29 дней назад

I'm so happy about that real fans are too. Tony would get obliterated by Nick. This fight is good for Nick's career & when he wins I'm sure he will give a great call out! Tony ain't it dies nothing for Nick's career!

@prod.bymobinnn4625 29 дней назад

@thecardbunker801 were comparing Tony to a 40 year old nick coming off that performanceagainst robbie, not strikeforce champion nick. What ur saying is ridiculous.

@thecardbunker801 29 дней назад

@prod.bymobinnn4625 what u gonna say when Nick beats Luque? You'll say nothing. And then you'll hate on Nick's next fight too 😂 you newbies are predictable we don't care about what u guys say. Real fans know wassup wit Nick.

For the people calling Diaz a quitter, do yall really expect him to risk his life? he already had an injured neck, a very vital place in ur body. hes taking hits on the head, which affects the neck heavily. yall want him to potentially break something in his neck than quit once after all the wars hes been in? wardiaz is a thing for a reason
