RE: UFC 244: Upon further review - I think the doctor was correct to stop the Diaz / Masvidal fight

Wow, those are some pretty bad cuts. I have watched MMA with my wife in the past and she just can't handle it. Not the blood so much, but just the brutality in general. It is funny how your whole body can tense up when you watch it like you are ready for a fight yourself. Diaz was a jerk in the early seasons of The Ultimate Fighter, so I am not really a fan of his. I haven't followed him that close lately. Maybe he stopped being such a douche.

the thing with Diaz is that he came back into the limelight as a response to McGregor and then once he beat MeGregor it was on like Donkey Kong. However, a bit part of what made him who he is was the fact that he actually was such a jerk. Now that he is finally getting some big payouts, the jerky side of him had kind of disappeared and well, that probably isn't a good thing.

It's kind of like the people I have seen in the past that worked so hard to be champion, really going for it every single bout, and then when they finally become champion they lose that edge.... rather than working to be the champ they seem to be working in slow motion simply trying to not lose. I dunno if that makes any sense... I had 6 beers at dinner.

Yes, that does make sense. I can totally respect that he is still relevant after all of these years. It had to be a good fifteen years ago that I originally saw him. I can appreciate that tenacity for sure. I know there are a lot of people that really like him. Also, good or bad, it is nice to hear that he isn't as much of a jerk as he used to be :)

did you hear that after this fight he has been (although very cryptically - if that is even a word) indicating that he might retire? I think he is just trying to create more controversy to bring the spotlight back on himself.
