BJ Penn Vs Nick Diaz - UFC 137

[Luke]

I don't get it, Luke. I posted something that SUPPORTED upcoming cross-promotional fights and you say I was sucked in?

One I was just joking around and two where did you post anything that said cross promotional fights were going to happen? Are you meaning this?

Promotions remain separate so long as the Strikeforce contracts with Showtime are in place. That was the big hurdle. Was crossed recently

Diaz is still under contract with Strikeforce/showtime thats why he was allowed to box if he wanted to

Now that this is official you all can lick my nuts :

Dana's already said that Strikeforce will keep on keeping on and that all network deals etc. will be honored. He also said no cross-promotional superfights. Which makes me wonder where the benefit is to all this.

Yeah ,I dont believe any of that for a second

Meh, I do. At least for awhile. There are contracts in place and whatnot. Think WEC.

This is for you, Luke.

Whoops! Fixed. . .

Interesting. Rumor I heard earlier today:

Nate Diaz was offered $1 million and $2 per PPV buy to shut up about boxing and fight GSP.

Do not tell his big brother. Nick will be kicking his little bothers ass.

Its on

@danawhite: U wanted it! U GOT IT!!! GSP vs DIAZ Oct 29th UFC 137 at Mandalay Bay in Las Vegas

It was the biggest and most hyped fight the UFC had ever done at the time. It was a superfight, revisionist history or not.

[SPX]

Probably.

It's kinda sorta fits the criteria too, with two dominant champs in different weight classes facing each other.

But the problem is that it's always been obvious BJ wants to be a welterweight, and had competed in that weight class many times, and MOST importantly . . . they had fought before.

Weren't they calling GSP vs BJ Penn II a superfight?

[SPX]

What did I say . . . I'll believe it when I see it.

Can someone give me an example of one when of these announced UFC superfights HAS occurred?

Complete scrubs like Paulo Thiago and Carlos Condit?

I think he was saying like a catch weight fight with Vera.
