Mixed martial arts has had its share of upsets. Any time you have two guys hurling thinly-padded fists at one another’s faces, it’s always going to be somewhat unpredictable. That’s why we see so few perfect records in this sport. Anybody can get caught. Anybody can have a bad night.

Ask me again why I’m a Nick Diaz fan. I dare you.
