On Tuesday, February 23, UFC Lightweight Champion Rafael dos Anjos had to pull out of his March 5th fight against Conor McGregor.
The organization moved quickly to find a replacement. Nate Diaz stepped up with 10 days notice to take the fight, which will be a non-title bout held at 170 lbs.
At today's press conference the two engaged in an epic war of words. (Watch it in full here https://youtu.be/x0Ze86N21ro)
McGregor called Diaz a "cholo gangsta from the hood" and mocked his side job as a kid's jiu-jitsu coach.
"He makes gun signs with the right hand and animal balloons with the left hand," McGregor said.
Diaz responded by accusing his opponent and every other fighter in the UFC of being on steroids.
"Everybody's on steroids ... the whole UFC. You, dos Anjos, [Anthony] Pettis," Diaz told McGregor.
The Irishman fired back by reminding Nate that his teammates Jake Shields and Gilbert Melendez had both been suspended for failed drugged tests in the past.
"You're on steroids," Nate repeated a second time.
McGregor vehemently denied the accusation. For the record he has never failed a drug test.

Meanwhile, dos Anjos tweeted out a photo of his broken foot and wondered why McGregor picked Diaz, who might not be in tip top shape for the fight instead of Donald "Cowboy" Cerrone, who has had two fights in the last three months and is guaranteed to be in shape.
The same thing happened last year when Jose Aldo pulled out of a fight. McGregor instead fought and easily defeated Chad Mendez, who stepped in on short notice.
Sorry to all my real fans and @ufc,I never cancel any fight due to injury but accidents happen #Jesus #truechampion pic.twitter.com/wrV58w9KaS
— Rafael dos Anjos (@RdosAnjosMMA) February 24, 2016
Why Gregor didn't pick Cerrone to fight!? He loves some out of shape with 10 days notice like Mendez. Want 2 belts? Gotta beat me
— Rafael dos Anjos (@RdosAnjosMMA) February 24, 2016
To The Notorious One's credit he eventually did eventually fight Aldo, once the Brazilian healed from a rib injury. He knocked him out in 13 seconds to win the Featherweight Championship at UFC 194.
We'll find out what happens when Diaz and McGregor meet on March 5th at the MGM Grand in Las Vegas, should be a great show.
Holly Holm vs. Meisha Tate is the co-main event.

Kanye West performed at 1 Oak in Los Angeles on Tuesday, February 23. Mid-show he took time to clear the air about a couple of things that have been bothering him.
"MediaTakeOut, never stop trying to make up stories," he told the crowd. "And my wife got Amber to (inaudible). That bitch ain't never stick her fingers in my ass. I don't play like that!"
West was responding to an Amber Rose's tweet from January when she called him a #FingersInTheBootyAssBitch, during his feud with her ex-husband, Wiz Khalifa.
The rapper continued his rant by calling Taylor Swift a liar.
On the song "Famous" off of his "The Life of Pablo" album he raps, "I feel like me and Taylor might still have sex. Why? I made that bitch famous."
West claims to have gotten the singer's approval prior to releasing the song, but her camp denies that.
"I called Taylor. I said Taylor I talked to my wife about it. And I said how do you feel about this line Taylor? I said Taylor I feel like you and me might have sex and she said, 'Oooh, I like that line.' Then she won her [Grammy] and said something completely different. She not cool no more. She had 2 seconds to be cool and she fucked it up!"

The Sparta Combat League is a small mixed martial arts promotions company based out of Colorado. Apparently they have no age limit or morals because at a recent event they allowed 68-year old Ann Perez fight a 24-year old opponent named Laura Dettman.
The bout went exactly like you would have expected. Perez lost by technical knockout when was quickly taken to the ground by Dettman and punched in the face repeatedly until the referee stopped the fight. https://youtu.be/rccaw66HSzs
Colorado has to have a boxing commission. Whoever sanctioned this freak show should be fired.
The Sparta Combat League is a disgrace. I had never heard of them before now and hope they go belly up very soon.
Thoughts?

Dante Fowler, the hulking 6'3" 260 pound defensive end for the Jacksonville Jaguars, has an easy way for women in his life settle disputes. He lets beat the hell out of each other.
TMZ Sports obtained footage from the February 1st incident involving Fowler's girlfriend and the mother of his baby.
The two women were having an argument outside of an elevator at an apartment complex in Florida. Words didn't settle the dispute so Fowler waved his hand like a referee for the two to get physical.
When Fowler was satisfied with the outcome he broke the two women up and left with his girlfriend.
Nobody got arrested because the police were not called.
Check it out below.
**UPDATE**
It shouldn't come as a surprise that Dante Fowler has issued an apology after the video surfaced of him refereeing a fight between his girlfriend and baby's mother.
Read what the third overall pick in the 2015 draft had to say below.
“I am embarrassed and have apologized for my actions to everyone involved. As a family, we have been dealing with this moment and the conflict that led to it since this occurred. The video surfacing is a sad reminder that emotions got the best of all of us. I take 100 percent responsibility for everything that happened.”
The Jaguars have released a statement as well.
“Dante brought the incident to our attention prior to the video being released and was embarrassed and remorseful. Violence of this type against others is unacceptable in our society and to our organization. We will continue to look into the incident while offering resources and providing support to Dante and his family to help them through this private matter.”
Now here is where we get down to the real reason the above statements were issued. The Jaguars want to avoid the league office stepping in and punishing Fowler. They would much rather handle this in-house.
The NFL under Commissioner Roger Goodell has come down hard in recent years on players who get into trouble off the field. Especially actions they feel damage their brand. After all, football is America's sport and a multi-billion dollar cash cow for the 32 team owners.
Although Fowler didn't throw a punch or display any kind of violence during the fight between the two women, it's possible the league could fine or suspend him. However, the latter seems highly unlikely.
Read what the NFL had to say below about the incident below.
“These are disturbing images and we will review the matter.”
Ryan O'Halloren, a beat writer for the Florida Times-Union, blasted the league office for getting involved in the situation via his Twitter account.
1. Pathetic for the league office to issue a statement calling the video "disturbing." When Fowler is cleared, they should announce that.
— Ryan O'Halloran (@ryanohalloran) February 23, 2016
2. That word -- "disturbing images," -- is going to be attached to Fowler when he didn't throw a punch or get involved.
— Ryan O'Halloran (@ryanohalloran) February 23, 2016
3. The fact that Fowler did step in to the altercation once they were done flailing away, that's all I needed to see.
— Ryan O'Halloran (@ryanohalloran) February 23, 2016
4. If Fowler would have tried to break it up from the start, how about if in the process, the pissed-off party fell to the floor?
— Ryan O'Halloran (@ryanohalloran) February 23, 2016
5. The league office made this a story with their statement, which then forced the #Jaguars to put out their own statement.
— Ryan O'Halloran (@ryanohalloran) February 23, 2016
How do you think this should be handled by the league and the Jaguars?

It's no secret that Jay Z's music streaming service, Tidal, has struggled since it's inception. Kanye West has stepped in to breathe new life into it.
West's latest album titled "The Life of Pablo" is a Tidal exclusive. While there reports that has led to widespread bootlegging to the point where Yeezy is considering legal action against the torrent site, The Pirate Bay, it has also been just what the doctor ordered for Hov's company.
According to TMZ, Tidal subscribers have more than doubled from around 1 million to 2.5 million since "The Life of Pablo" was released. That could eventually turn into a $15 million windfall.
Due to the tremendous success of the project, the powers that be are now considering a second release that may include physical copies.
