UFC 143 fantasy picks

I guess they need to figure out if Diaz was serious about being done with MMA. You think he would take the rematch since he thought he won.

Most likely it's a failed drug test that is preventing him from fighting Condit again, not him not wanting a rematch.

You are correct. The story on ESPN says he tested positive for the "grass" after his loss. Guess he will never learn. I've never done it so I don't know what advantage that would give you. I couldnt imagine fighting like that. When I fought I wanted my concentration level to be at its best. Maybe that helps it?

Well I don't think he was high while he was fighting. If he's a real pot head type of guy, I'm sure he smokes a lot throughout the week. It stays in your system for a while.

When I was in school, one of our sciences classes had us test our lung capacity. All the guys that smoked weed seemed to have higher lung capacities than everyone else. That's about the only "advantage" I could dream up.

So were you just guessing on that or had you heard something somewhere?
