By (contact)

ANAHEIM, Calif. —  Dana White, who’s known for granting more than a few wild requests, laughed at this question. A fan asked the UFC president, who held a Q&A before the UFC 157 weigh-in at the Honda Center, if he’d be able to take a picture with one of the fighters about to hit the scale. “The guys sitting back there right now waiting to come out and weigh-in are miserable, nasty and (expletive) mean right now,” White answered. “They’ve been training for eight weeks. They’ve been away from their homes, their families. They’ve been dieting and cutting weight for two days. Today ...

UFC 158
Nick Diaz fails to back up years worth of talk

UFC 158 A welterweight title fight that felt incredibly different wound up remarkably the same. Georges St. Pierre manhandled nemesis Nick Diaz with his wrestling. St. Pierre won every round on every judges' scorecard in Montreal for his sixth straight unanimous-decision victory. Diaz had preached his superiority over St. Pierre for years, but when he finally got his chance, he looked as helpless as all the other challengers to the 170-pound division's throne in the last six years. St. Pierre's consistency continued to amaze. Now it's on to Johny Hendricks, who defeated Carlos Condit in the evening's co-main event. Could he be the one to finally threaten St. Pierre?
