True MMA Warriors: Nick Diaz and BJ Penn I was struggling to figure out who to root for during UFC 137 because both Nick Diaz and BJ Penn have been some of my favorite fighters in MMA for a long time. I saw myself cheering when BJ was doing his thing and taking Nick’s back in the first round, then having it be hard to watch him take a beating in the second and third round. He never stopped though. On the other hand, no one can’t dispute that Nick Diaz belongs with the best of the best in the UFC. He’s a different beast. In the end, it didn’t matter. As a fan, you got to see two warriors battle it out in the octagon. These two brought it like you couldn’t believe. When I watch MMA, I just want to see two fighters fight (standup, ground, clinch, etc.). Just scrap. QUESTION: What were your thoughts on Penn vs. Diaz?
