The big question mark is how will he return from such an injury? Will he kick again? How will he look? Then with Nick Diaz, it’s been over two years since he’s fought. What will he be like?” FOX Sports 1 telecasts the PREFIGHT, PRELIMS and POSTFIGHT SHOWS that evening. Watch a complete breakdown of the main event here: http://foxs.pt/18muvZo
