T-Minus 23 hours till BJ’s doubters get their reality check.
Yeah, they’ll get their real payout check when they bet on Diaz to win and BJ loses via submission, beat at his own BJJ game. It’s going to be a “Sports Competition” according to Diaz, because he respects him too much. Diaz doesn’t want to humiliate him with a TKO.
That’s funny. But that’s all it is.
HA! Did you lads just watch that?!
Leave it to Diaz to bring this one to a boiling point: IT’S ON NOW!!
I wonder how Vera will do against Marshall. He needs a win….
isn’t Vera back because of a failed test from an opponent which turned vera’s loss to a NC?
Let us just hope that win or lose he puts on an amazing show to keep him around.
Yep, against Thiago Silva. Vera needs a win and should get that against Marshall.
