Best of Luck to Diamond Supporters Bart Palaszewski and Josh Samman at TUF 17 Finale Tonight!

Tonight Urijah Faber and Scott Jorgensen battle it out in the main event of what should be a fun card in Vegas for the TUF 17 Finale. On the undercard, TUF 17 semi-finalist middleweight Josh Samman fights grappler/rapper Kevin Casey and Bart Palaszewski fights Cole Miller at 145-pounds. Samman and Palaszewski will be wearing Diamond MMA in the octagon tonight to protect their groin and avoid any of those pesky 5-minute recovery periods after taking a stray low kick to the nuts. Samman fell short in the TUF tournament to Kevin Gastelum, will be looking for his first UFC win, and Palaszewski tries to bring a win back to Curran MMA.

An Ode to the NBA's Charles Oakley - One of the Toughest Players Ever

As athletes transition off the basketball court and onto the golf course for retirement, it's important to remember just how tough these guys really are. One of our favorite examples is Charles Oakley. He is one of the top 20 all-time players when it comes to activity with over 1,000 games played. That's a tough ass career for the former all-star to be battling on the boards with the likes of Horace Grant and Charles Barkley. Oakley famously played for the Knicks, but he also balled for the Bulls, Raptors, Rockets and Wizards. He was the player happy in the trenches, an enforcer on the basketball court and a hardcore power forward. 

Legendary Ref "Big" John McCarthy is Waiting for a Kick in the Nuts!

Not really, but Diamond (@DiamondMMA) reached out to one of MMA's most prominent figures, "Big" John McCarthy, and he likes our design and feel. He's just been lucky enough to avoid a nut shot so far. Once he does get hit down there while wearing Diamond, he'll realize the product's full protective potential. We are honored that a man who's spent his entire career protecting professional athletes would enjoy our safety gear!
