There's was a moment during the Diaz vs Henderson fight tonight that all of a sudden the FOX broadcast flipped to a picture of an glowing blue Octagon and empty arena. It was abrupt and odd and seemed like a momentary programming glitch and I wondered if LayzieTheSavage had accidentally tripped over the power source to the main cameras at the arena while he was in the press room backstage pacing back and forth nervously watching Nate Diaz fight Bendo. And then suddenly the broadcast was back and the fight was still going. It was one of those moments where every person in the room starts yelling at the television as though a criminal act just occurred. It was upsetting and weird enough to make someone out there in this world of uncomfortably curious and disturbed people ,ake it their mission to find out what really happened. It looks like this picture being circulated on Facebook might be the answer. It was merely a Nate Diaz midfight middle finger salute. Never would have guessed that.

I was rooting for Diaz but he lost fair and square. He looked silly taunting Hendo while getting beat.

There was A moment? It happened about 10 times didn't it? Someone else at the bar even commented on it and I explained "209 by night all day! Don't be scared homie!" Weird thing is I was rooting for Bendo and I have no idea why I got so hype saying yelling that.

"It was merely a Nate Diaz midfight middle finger salute. Never would have guessed that." Really? It was plainly obvious this was the case the moment it happened. Especially as it happened twice in a matter of seconds. C'mon now.

Get your sarcasm detection skills up to par, they are obviously lacking.

Apparently one can rule the world if you kick the front leg. This isn't a joke.

Funny that didn't happen on the Canadian feed. It was a great moment in the fight when Diaz did that.

Yup, watching from Canada while on a business trip. I was surprised when I saw an uncensored finger until I remembered, "Oh yeah, they're not uptight religious pricks up here"

The middle finger losses it's power when you're getting your ass handed to you like a catchers mitt.

I know I'm in the minority, but the exchange pictured above actually had me laughing at how cheesy it came off. I know middle fingers are second nature to the Diaz brothers, but it looked like a forced pro wrestling spot. Oh well. Really exciting 5 rounder, at least.

No shit this was the reason. You didn't realize while it was happening?

I saw his arm go out so I figured that that's what it was immediately. Kinda annoyed me, because they're taking away the best part of watching Nate Diaz.

The whole point of a Diaz fight is to see the middle finger!
I feel like I have been ripped off!

It actually happened again, I think in the final round, when Nate was laying on his back and Ben was standing above him at his feet. I saw a split second where I thought he was going to throw up double middle fingers, and Fox cut away for an even shorter time than the first.

Well, all this censorship only made me curse, raise the middle fingers and show my nipples to everyone. Well done Fox.

Diaz's mean mug technique wasn't getting it done so he had to switch up techniques.

Oh. I guess that makes sense. I thought they cut away because they were worried that some of their grappling positions were homo-erotic.

That is the reason why GSP will never fight on a fox card.

Nate was just outclassed byt under prepared. Hus brother should have told him to make 155 for title fight. Plus nate mentioned he hadnt seen nick at all since he arrived.

So he had no big bro. No one told him including Cesar about 155
Limit. And had no big 155 wrestlers just like problems at 170

Nate was screwed from all angles
