Nate Diaz slams Jorge Masvidal

Jon Jones and Daniel Cormier lock heads again
Jon Jones is preparing for a heavyweight debut and his long-term rival Daniel Cormier has raised doubts as to whether "Bones" can finish people at the higher weight class. Cormier stated that Jones's lack of finishes at 205lbs makes him doubt how he can suddenly knockout bigger and stronger opponents.
Jones has clearly heard this loud and clear and he tagged Cormier in this delightful video of him TKO'ing the UFC broadcaster out in their rematch at light-heavyweight.

In other Paulo Costa news, he has taken quite the criticism from most quarters over his claim that wine was the reason he lost to Israel Adesanya. Cub Swanson has weighed in and it's safe to say he isn't best pleased.
Well how dumb can you be? That sounds like self sabotage to me

The internet has also weighed in with these two comments catching our eye.

Paulo Costa says too much wine the night before the fight was to blame for his performance against Izzy. Jon Jones used to get tanked and rip lines out of stripper's assholes before fights and still go out and rawdog everyone they put in front of him.

Ben Askren is raring to go for his boxing exhibition with Jake Paul
Ben Askren is not known for his striking but after this explosive clip showing his training for the fight, YouTuber turned boxer Jake Paul could be in a world of trouble.
Bens sparring is on point. But the question seems to be - slow motion or real time? Check out the vlog and you decide. On April 17th it’ll be nothing but real time and JP won’t be able to keep up.

Jairzinho Rozenstruik and Tyron Woodley targeted in one meme
UFC Vegas 20's main event of Cyril Gane vs. Jairzinho Rozenstruik wasn't the heavy-hitting affair fans were hoping for. This has somehow brought Tyron Woodley also into the firing line. Some might say there is more of a strike rate than there was in the main event.
