“Big Country” Roy Nelson showing off some Kung-Fu for his upcoming bout with Dave Herman at UFC 146.

According to Koshcheck’s Twitter, the UFC has proposed a match-up between him and the retired BJ Penn.

#UFC just offered me to fight BJ Penn…I said YES!!!!! Just waiting on him!!!!!! Let’s scrap bra?

I’m sure everyone is hoping this fight happens and BJ makes Josh look this, sorry Joe Daddy.

Last weekend, Nick Diaz who is currently suspended from MMA was supposed to take on world-class Jiu-Jitsu practitioner Braulio Estima.  This grappling super-fight was going down at the World Jiu-Jitsu Expo organized by NYC’s own Renzo Gracie.  Many MMA nerds praised Diaz for taking on such a high-level grappler in his own domain.  Don’t get me wrong, if this was MMA, Nick would have laced him up badly, but this was pure Jiu-Jitsu.

The buzz around this match was super hyped, but unfortunately this fight did not happen.  Diaz was nowhere to be found at the time of the match and conflicting stories arose immediately.  I read many different accounts on what happened, but now we have official statements from both parties.  Check it out:

Nick Diaz/Cesar Gracie’s side:

Despite all of this Nick was still going to compete. He brought up Kron Gracie and prepared himself. Around this time I was informed by Junior that Braulio wanted to weigh in the day before and not right before the match as is the custom in IBJJ competitions and Abu Dhabi. At the time Nick was about 186lbs so I consented to both guys weighing in at 180lbs the night before.

Nick boarded a plane on Friday for Long Beach having cut 6 pounds for the weigh in that night. On his way there I got a call from Junior telling me Braulio would not be making weight! “Cesar Braulio is complaining about the weight cut. Can we have him weigh in tomorrow? He can’t make the weight tonight how about 185 in the morning?”

Nick arrives in Long Beach to the news that there will be no weigh ins that night. As a professional with over 30 fights this was the final straw. The disrespect and total lack of professionalism given him convinced him he was at a circus not a professionally event.

At 3:20 in the morning I received a text from Junior that Braulio would in fact make the 180lbs weight class at 10:00AM. With no other option available I said fine I’ll check with Nick in the morning. At 10:00AM Braulio did weigh in at 180lbs but by that time Nick had already left.

Braulio Estima’s side:

Hi César I was reading your statement. very interesting points..

1st- When Junior approached me to offer me the fight I was actually training at the Blackzilians at the time so obviously I was training MMA. Junior told me about Nick not wanting to fight an MMA fighter. I never fought before so [Junior] said it was fine & why [didn’t you] cancel the fight before if this was really an issue..??

2nd- Nobody has ever bended no rules for me. Because there was no rules set to start off with, it wasn’t going to be a UFC match but a superfight on a BJJ Expo so the whole point here was for us to show a fight.. has Nick signed a contract that stated the date time and weight that we both need to reach? I didn’t. And since this whole thing was going to be a friendly event I really don’t see any issue here even if Nick turned up 10lbs overweight. Still when asked I went and dropped the weight to meet the requirement. Actually to put things straight it was myself that called Junior around 10pm Friday to check if there is going to be a weigh in at all. He kept contacting you and got back to me saying I need to be 180 that time, of course I said I can’t for the simple reason I was away in Irvine and it was already late at night but I said sure no problem I’ll make it first thing in the morning if needed, even if it would put me in a bigger disadvantage I didn’t care I just came to fight. Junior had actually called me back no later than midnight that he spoke to you and confirmed the weigh in for 10am.

Besides when did Nick actually weigh in? And who witnessed that if we are being so strict and professional?

3rd – You are saying Nick had left by 10am Saturday morning? Why you never said anything then? I even asked you I’d like to see him and his weight and you said he’s not gonna come down because he ate already and wouldn’t make the weight anymore. And Lana, after speaking to you, called his room and said he was actually there sleeping. Nobody at any point had mentioned he could have left. Leaving me believing we would fight till the very last minute, now you’re talking about lack of professionalism in the organisation of the superfight and this was very professional behaviour right?

There is many more points here that I don’t agree with but I am just fed up of this whole situation and don’t agree for anyone to ever release the blame from Nick for whatever reason, we were there to fight and that’s what should happen no excuses, we are both professional athletes and should respect one another no matter what. And this is inexcusable.

You have to feel for a guy who is so emotionally invested in his fight.  Hats off DP, and you’ll be back better than ever.

“I want Jose Aldo!” Those were the words exclaimed by the most exciting fighter in the UFC, Chang Sung Jung also known as the Korean Zombie.  I, along with a legion of MMA Nerds believe he definitely deserves the next title shot after tonight’s performance.

The Korean Zombie dominated heralded fighter, Dustin Poirier for 4 rounds.  Eventually, Jung sealed the deal with a beautiful D’arce Choke.  The Zombie beat him on his feet, took him down with ease and almost submitted the Lousiana native numerous times.  Poirier was actually the favorite going into the fight, but the Korean Zombie proved Vegas awfully wrong.  Jung has improved technically ten-fold from when he first stepped foot into the Octagon, and I believe he is ready for the chosen one himself, Jose Aldo.

WAR ZOMBIE COWBOYS FROM KOREA!
