Nick Diaz belongs in the UFC Hall of Fame, despite the fact he's never won a UFC title ... so says Tyron Woodley.
"He's done enough in his career, in my opinion, to be inducted into the Hall of Fame," Tyron said on this week's "Hollywood Beatdown."
Diaz famously began his UFC career back in 2003 with an armbar submission victory over Jeremy Jackson.
He beat guys like Robbie Lawler before a showdown with Diego Sanchez on "The Ultimate Fighter 2" finale (Diaz lost that fight).
Nick jumped to Strikeforce, where he DOMINATED -- winning all 7 of his fights between 2009 and 2011, winning the welterweight title and defending it 4 times.
Eventually, the UFC bought Strikeforce and brought Diaz back to the UFC roster where he beat BJ Penn and lost some epic battles to guys like Georges St-Pierre and Anderson Silva.
Now, 37-year-old Diaz is rumored to be making a comeback ... but Tyron thinks he's already got a Hall of Fame resume.
There's a lot more in the episode ... including Tyron explaining why he's FINALLY ready to fight Colby Covington on Sept. 19th, a fight that's been talked about for roughly 2 years.

She ended the clip by pointing out that FBG Duck was killed in one of the prestigious and seemingly safest places in the city, Oak Street.

Nicolas Chavez, already weakened by two gunshot wounds, was on his knees and pulling a Taser toward him as four Houston Police Department officers fired a fatal barrage of bullets, according to police video of the encounter.
The officers involved in the April 21 death — identified as Sgt. Benjamin LeBlanc, officers Patrick Rubio, Omar Tapia and Luis Alvarado — were fired Thursday for what police Chief Art Acevedo said was their decision to fire a combined 21 rounds at Chavez, who was suffering from an apparent mental break and who died following their 15-minute encounter in east Houston. Acevedo determined the fatal shots were “not objectively reasonable.”
“You don’t get to shoot somebody 21 times,” Acevedo said. “Because, at the time, Mr. Chavez was at his greatest level of incapacitation.”
Prior to his death, Chavez, 27, had already been shot, stunned and was unable to get up on his own, Acevedo said. The officers, he continued, could have taken two to three steps back when he reached for the spent Taser but instead opened fire.
“I cannot defend that,” Acevedo continued.
Chavez was rushed to a hospital but did not survive. A toxicology report later found traces of meth and alcohol in Chavez’s body at the time of his death.
Concerned citizens first reported seeing a distraught man throwing himself in front of cars along Interstate 10 near Lockwood Street and jumping fences in the Denver Harbor neighborhood. One caller said he had what appeared to be a “metal tube” in his hand. He was bleeding and ranting.
Those calls led police to Chavez, who could be seen frantically huddled under a street light.
“I’m a MHMRA patient and I feel like dying,” Chavez is heard crying out, using an old acronym for the Harris Center mental health clinic.
“That’s fine,” another officer told him. “Have a seat.”
But Chavez paced the parking lot instead, at times stumbling, flailing and stabbing himself with what officers believed was a knife. LeBlanc fired two bean bag rounds at Chavez and Alvarado followed with the Taser. Neither appeared to have an effect and Chavez began walking toward the officers with the metal object.
LeBlanc and another officer, Kevin Nguyen, fired a combined three shots as Chavez approached him and a constable’s deputy. Acevedo said he found only that instance in the 24 total rounds fired to be reasonable.

NFL wide receiver Josh Bellamy was arrested Thursday after officials say he misused government loans intended to help struggling businesses survive the COVID pandemic on lavish items like Gucci, Dior and casino trips.
31-year-old Bellamy -- who was cut by the NY Jets just 2 days ago -- is essentially accused of participating in a scheme in which people applied for more than $24 MILLION in PPP loans, intended for business owners to help stay afloat during the pandemic.
But, prosecutors say neither Bellamy nor his co-conspirators put the money toward their businesses -- instead, Bellamy blew a fortune on things like custom jewelry, designer clothes and casino trips.
In fact, officials say Bellamy spent $95k on custom jewelry, $5,381 at Gucci and $2,014 at Dior.
They also claim he dropped more than $62k during a recent trip to the Seminole Hard Rock Hotel and Casino.
Of the requested $24 mil, officials say Bellamy and his co-conspirators received roughly $17.4 million in PPP loans.
The alleged conspiracy is complicated but boils down to this ...
Officials believe Bellamy not only requested PPP loans for his own company based on false records ... but would then recruit others to apply for giant loans -- and when that money was received from the government, Bellamy would take a sizable kickback from the borrower.
By the way, prosecutors say Bellamy does technically own a business -- Drip Entertainment -- but officials say it hasnt been “active” since 2019.
Prosecutors say they have bank records showing Bellamy made large bank withdrawals recently -- taking around $302,800 between May and July 2020.
Officials say Bellamy executed the scheme while he was preparing for the 2020 NFL season.
If convicted, both the bank fraud and wire fraud charges carry lengthy prison sentences ... we're talkin' decades.
Bellamy was an undrafted free agent out of Louisville in 2012 -- and went on to play for the Chiefs, Bears, Jets and others.

“Stash Box” is the first single from 38 Spesh’s album Interstate 38. I-38 drops in October
38 Spesh has been so focused on producing for the last year, rappers finally got a chance to breathe. But that all ended in July when he dropped his first solo project of 2020, “6 Shots: Overkill.” The EP demonstrates how effortless emceeing is for the Rochester mastermind. However, what heads didn’t know is that the release was just warm-up for his upcoming full-length studio album titled “Interstate 38.”
To spark this campaign off right Spesh is giving fans what they’ve been demanding, a new single with his day-one Benny The Butcher! As soon you hear the sped up sample that starts “Stash Box,” you know you’re in for something special. It goes without saying that the bars here are ridiculous. Both emcees manage to document their come ups and eventual triumphs in 16 bars a piece.

(CNN) Less than a week after George Washington University announced Jessica Krug would not resume teaching this semester after the professor revealed she had been lying for years about being Black, the school announced she has resigned.
"Dr. Krug has resigned her position, effective immediately. Her classes for this semester will be taught by other faculty members, and students in those courses will receive additional information this week," the university said in a statement obtained by CNN on Wednesday.
It continued, "We hope that with this update our community can begin to heal and move forward." Requests for comment from Krug, formerly a history professor specializing in Africa and Latin America, have not been returned.
The resignation comes after backlash from Krug's essay, published on September 3, in which Krug admitted to masquerading as North African, African American and "Caribbean rooted Bronx Blackness" throughout her adult life. She is, she said, actually White, Jewish and from Kansas City. One student at GWU who had a class with Krug told CNN she fronted as an Afro-Latina woman from the Bronx.
Just one day after the essay published, GWU announced Krug would no longer be teaching for the semester while the university reviewed the situation.
Krug apologized for what she called her "continued appropriation of a Black Caribbean identity," saying she was wrong, unethical, immoral, anti-Black and colonial.
"I am not a culture vulture," she wrote. "I am a culture leech."

A South Carolina police chief was stabbed in the face by a man who told him that he was “going to die today” when he answered the door, authorities said.
Bonneau Police Chief Franco Fuda said he heard a knock at the door Monday and went out to meet the suspect, who was later identified as Forrest Bowman, news station WCIV reported.
Fuda said Bowman told him he was “going to die today” and stabbed him under his left eye with an ice pick, leaving him covered in blood, the outlet reported.
The assailant took off for his mobile home and refused to come out in a standoff with authorities, news station WCSC reported, citing authorities.
Berkeley County deputies sent a scout robot into his trailer before making entry to arrest Bowman, who was naked and screaming, authorities said.
A judge denied bond Tuesday night for Bowman, who faces charges that include attempted murder for an assault, the outlets reported.
