December of last year, I said Nate Diaz would become number one contender. Tonight, my prediction was made correct. Nate Diaz (who I've always called the BETTER Diaz) has finally come.

GREAT FIGHT AND A GREAT NIGHT OF FIGHTS!

Hendricks should've lost though. I picked Diaz 'cause I think he's the 2nd best fighter in the division, as I did in December (well to be fair I thought he was the best in December).

Yep...SO glad Belcher and Nate won! The only thing that sucked for me was Pat getting KO'd...

He looked great tonight, never would have thought he could stop Miller just like that though. Pettis vs Nate is a fight that got to happen now...

Diaz also deserves props for telling people to buy the shirt that Miller was wearing (pretty sure the proceeds go to his nephew)

Pettis was there, so they could have hyped that but Nate wants to wait to fight Bendo/Edgar.

@Judo yep heard it too by now, Nate wants to wait which is OK imo, but a Pettis vs Diaz fight would be a epic battle...

Nate learned some TD defense, at least it's not as bad as it used to be, as always good boxing and killier BJJ skills, pretty exciting fight, made me feel better after watching Barry and Palhares lost, I didn't like that Palhares lost but it was a great fight, but Barry just disapointed me. great night overall (not for my picks though, lol)

We were at B-Dubs and the guys I was with said they felt Diaz could win. I said I was rooting for Miller, but my gut knew Diaz was more than capable of winning. I said these exact words..."If he does win, it'll be by submission cause neither of them is going to get knocked out...."
Should have shut my mouth! But a very impressive sub!

In the final submission, Jim Miller had spit out his mouthpiece, and his tongue had got caught protruding from his mouth.

If the submission hold had been applied tighter and longer, Jim's tongue might have had serious injury!
