UFC on Fox 3 Press Conference, MMA Past & Present

UFC on Fox 3: Diaz vs Miller

Although the card doesn't take place until May 5, the press conference was held yesterday at Radio City Music Hall, and there was a great turnout. Every fighter except for Rousimar Palhares (something was wrong with his visa?) made an appearance at the event, and each had plenty to say. Unless of course you're Nate Diaz, who seemed to like responding in inaudible two-word phrases throughout most of the Q&A process. Most of the questions were about the fighters' upcoming strategies, with some media outlets asking about Frankie Edgar and what's next with him. Dana simply replied, "I still don't know what's next with Frankie. I still want him to go to 145, but I'm going to talk to him later today, so we'll see". In reference to who gets the next title shot, White said, "We said the winner of this fight would get the shot". He then reiterated that statement when someone else asked again if indeed the winner of Miller vs Diaz would get the next shot, so barring anything unusual happening, that's the latest. Personally I think it's a better matchup than Pettis, and more deserved. Shoutout to the guy who kept yelling "HD!" everytime Pat Barry said anything, that shit was kinda funny. Fun Fact: each fighter on the main card is coming off of a win EDIT: Frankie Edgar will get title shot re-match; winner of Diaz/Miller to get winner of that. Full album of conference:

frontpage PICKS goes 3/7, UFC: Live starts Friday

OK, so my first attempt at picking fights didn't go so well. To be honest though nobody saw that Kampmann finish coming, and Paul Daley looked like he really was eating fried chicken and watermelon before his fight with Kazuo Misaki, a guy who had never even fought at WW before.
