going into UFC 201. Heres what we didnt know, and thus What We Learned, over the weekend in Atlanta.Its good to be a DiazI like Antworten

One thing we didnt learn last weekend: 2016 is the Year of the Underdog.That much we already knew. There has never been this kind of turnover in UFC title fight history -- considering not only the frequency of belts switching hands, but the manner in which they are doing so.Stipe Miocic: First round. Eddie Alvarez: First round. Amanda Nunes: First round. Michael Bisping: First round. And now added to the list, Tyron Woodley: First round.Anything can happen in MMA and all that jazz, but this has gotten out of control.But again, we already knew that going into UFC 201. Heres what we didnt know, and thus What We Learned, over the weekend in Atlanta.Its good to be a DiazI like to picture Nick Diaz on a boat off the coasts of Mexico last Saturday, toasting shots with brother Nate Diaz, UFC 201 welterweight championship softly playing in the background -- no one giving it any thought.The Diaz brothers have reached, at least for the time being, what actually might be the pinnacle of MMA. That is, big fights come to them. Theyre not chasing anything. Neither holds a belt, but the champions who do are calling them out.Shortly after Woodley demolished Robbie Lawler at UFC 201, he was interviewed on live television by Stephen Thompson, the next obvious No. 1 contender. A very polite, very deserving Thompson essentially asked Woodley if he was ready to dance with him next. Woodley stared coldly into the camera and shut poor Thompson down.Woodley wants a money fight against Nick Diaz or former champ Georges St-Pierre. Thompson is nowhere on his radar. And as crazy as it sounds, Diaz jumping the welterweight line doesnt sound that far-fetched.Heck, hes done it before. He fought St-Pierre for the title in 2013, despite coming off a loss. Hes officially 0-2 in hist last two fights, with one no-contest thanks to a failed drug test by Anderson Silva last year. He just served an 18-month suspension for his own failed drug test (marijuana). His only win in the UFC within the last nine years is a decision against a hopelessly undersized B.J. Penn five years ago.Thompson, meanwhile, is on a seven-fight win streak. This year alone, hes knocked out Johny Hendricks in the first round and prevailed over Rory MacDonald in a five-round fight.Diaz has no business fighting for a title before Thompson, but if thats the route the UFC goes, it wont be that surprising. Nate, meanwhile, is currently the only man Conor McGregor is willing to fight -- and lightweight champion Eddie Alvarez is also on-record wanting a fight against him.Regardless of how you feel about it, theres no doubt: Diaz business is booming.Joanna Jedrzejczyk gonna hold that strawweight title for a minuteNo one is safe. We must constantly remind ourselves of this. But if there is a fine print to this rule, it most certainly reads, Oh, wait, except for Jedrzejczyk.Rose Namajunas was being touted as one final potential hiccup to Jedrzejczyks title reign. Even before her loss to Karolina Kowalkiewicz on Saturday, there was reason to believe Namajunas wasnt quite ready. Now, theres no doubt thats the case.Kowalkiewicz (10-0) is undefeated, tough and in good shape. She accused Jedrzejczyk of being scared of her at the UFC 201 post-fight press conference, a claim that seems ... unconvincing. An all-Poland title fight sounds like a good time, especially if the UFC can land it in the countrys capital of Warsaw. But even in a time when champions are falling like flies, Id set the odds of Jedrzejczyk being one of them close to zero. Cheap Thunder Jerseys . Rob Manfred, baseballs chief operating officer, testified last week during the grievance filed by the players union to overturn Rodriguezs 211-game suspension.
