Dana White: Most UFC Fighters Smoke Marijuana
From an outsider’s perspective, mixed martial arts is a dirty sport. How is it possible that these muscle-bound men aren’t taking performance-enhancing substances? UFC heavyweight Roy Nelson once told us that he believes as many as 80 percent of his peers are on the juice. If you think that’s an astonishing percentage of drug abusers, [...]
Nate Diaz worried about judges? decision in fight with Benson Henderson
"I don't think I've got a chance of winning any type of decision. So I gotta go out there and do what I can do to try and finish my opponent, try to be the better fighter and win the fight," said Diaz said to Inside MMA. "Either way, if it goes to a decision, I'm going to try to be the one outscoring, outpointing and outdoing him."
Winning by a finish is a pretty tough feat for Diaz to accomplish. Henderson has never been knocked out. He lost once by submission and once by a decision. The submission loss was in 2007. Since then, he's been in some tricky spots but hasn't tapped. In both fights against Donald Cerrone and in fighting Jim Miller, Henderson was memorably stuck in positions which seemed close to a submission. But instead of tapping, Henderson would give the thumbs up and went on to win all three fights.
Decisions in bouts with Henderson are also a likely occurrence. His last six fights were decisions, with five ending with Henderson getting his hand raised. Diaz isn't as successful in decisions, so you could see why he might be nervous. Of his seven losses, six are by decision. Only two of his 13 wins came via the judges' card.
Should Diaz be concerned? Speak up in the comments, on Facebook or on Twitter.

Ronda Rousey now has championship belt, first UFC opponent
Rousey also has her first opponent. Rousey will fight Liz Carmouche at UFC 157 in Anaheim.
"It means a lot," said Rousey at the UFC on Fox 5 press conference. "I feel like we have a lot to prove at this event and no one's going to be disappointed. The women are here to stay and we're gonna prove it."
[Also: Rising UFC star Rory MacDonald can only go so far]
The UFC will break two barriers with this fight. Not only will it be the first time two women fight for the UFC, but it's also the first time an openly gay fighter will take to the Octagon. Carmouche is a lesbian who served under Marines "Don't Ask, Don't Tell" policy, which is no longer in place. She has been out for much of her MMA career.
It's a career with a record of 7-2. Her losses are to former Strikeforce bantamweight champions Marloes Coenen and Sarah Kaufman. Rousey is undefeated, with all six wins coming in the first round.
