Who knows if Ariel Helwani has some … Continue reading Another Wrinkle To The McGregor/Diaz/Cerrone Saga
I Hope Nate Diaz Isn’t Trolling Us
On Saturday, ESPN's Brett Okamoto provided us with this nugget from UFC 235. https://twitter.com/bokamotoESPN/status/1104583458595069953 And then tonight Diaz tweeted this- https://twitter.com/NateDiaz209/status/1106730320928231424 I mean, come on. This isn't fair. A Cowboy/McGregor fight would be awesome and while we all got excited for it, it appears like we might not get it after all.

Conor McGregor and Khabib Nurmagomedov Crack ESPN’s World Fame 100
Conor McGregor and Khabib Nurmagomedov both came in the top 15 in ESPN's World Fame 100. https://twitter.com/espnmma/status/1106555915757645824 The only athletes to come in ahead of McGregor were Cristiano Ronaldo, LeBron James, Lionel Messi and Neymar.
