UFC 137 results: Nick Diaz overwhelms BJ Penn for decision win - MMAmania.com

Quote:

The main event of UFC 137 tonight (Sat., Oct. 29, 2011) in Las Vegas, Nevada, although re-worked a million times, settled on a welterweight war pitting two of the greatest mixed martial artists in recent memory, as B.J. Penn and Nick Diaz took it to the cage to slug it out.

They were friends before stepping inside the Octagon but became enemies just as soon as the horn sounded. Diaz, the Strikeforce welterweight champion, showed exactly why he deserves all the accolades he's received for the past few years, as he blew right past "The Prodigy" in a three round slugfest.

These two literally threw the kitchen sink at each other, trying to do whatever they could to finish the fight. Ultimately, it was Diaz who walked away with the unanimous decision win after three hard-fought round.

bj is only effective if he hates and wants to defeat his opponent and his heart wasn't in this one because nick is a friend.

Diaz vs. GSP at some point in the near future here. I don't know if anyone caught the Spike prelims but Brandon Vera broke his arm and didn't tap and then won via decision. INSANITY!
