UFC 131 Fight Card: What Diego Nunes Must Do To Beat Kenny Florian Friday, June 10, 2011 @ 7:38PMIf Diego "The Gun" Nunes isn't a gamer, I don't know of any fighter that qualifies as a gamer. He delivered a 15-minute walk through fire for Mike Brown at UFC 125, he's one of the few guys that admits he would not duck his teammates, especially since one of his teammates, Jose "Scarface" Aldo, holds the throne, scepter, cape and crown in the UFC Featherweight division, and on top of all of that ...
