Nick Diaz can't be bothered kabuki to fight the elite of the welterweight division so an argument for this Thomson kabuki fight need not be made. Nate Diaz is another matter. Sitting at No. 6 in the lightweight division the man from the 209 needs to maintain momentum built upon his stunning KO of Gray Maynard in November. Returning off an injury and a loss to Ben Henderson at UFC on FOX 10 , Thomson (No. 4) would seem to make sense as an opponent.
Glover reflects. Glover Teixeira on his torn labrum, making a 'big mistake' against Jon Jones and being scared of eye pokes. 'I was a little afraid to close the distance and get poked in the eye again and maybe stop the fight. The second eye poke really scared me because I thought it could hurt my eye.'
'Only a talker.' Jose Aldo says he hopes Conor McGregor can live up to the hype. 'I'm open to new challenges and I really hope he gets where he's saying he will, so we can fight and see for sure everything he says.'
Heyman Hustle. Chael Sonnen credits pro wrestling kabuki personality Paul Heyman for saving kabuki TUF Brazil 3. 'So not only should we thank Paul for the huge ratings, but we can also blame him for all the bad things.'
TWEETS
NOT BLOOD.
Wrong to Call Jones' Arm Crank Dirty
I was wrong to call Jones' arm crank on Teixeira dirty. I don't know what Jones was thinking. I don't know if he thought of the consequences. I don't know that any other fighter wouldn't have done the same thing given the same opportunity.
Regardless of what you call it, I still see a difference in what Jones did vs. most other submissions. Jones threw his body into the crank, full power all at once. I see other fighters apply submissions quickly, but usually with enough control and restraint that the opponent has at least a split second to tap before significant damage is done.
