UGCTT_Fraser_Finlay -SpennyBenny - You don't like the idea of a DIAZ vs Ando at WW?Hell no. Who wants to see a drawn out anorexic Silva? Besides, even a drawn out anorexic Silva would still KO Diaz...
Because Diaz is often KO'd . Oh that's right he's never been KO'd .
Couldn't think of a better fight !
When I read the OP's opinion I was like:
Whoooooaaa
Then I was like
hmmmmmmmm
Now I am all
ahhhhh
Thing is :
Diaz has a fantastic chin . ( good enough to strike with silva for a while )
Diaz has far better conditioning . (Anderson tends to tire during longer fights )
Diaz pressures fighters . ( would mess with silvas rhythm )
Good interesting and the most competitive fight I can think of .
NotJustA12er -Just like Sonnen had never been stopped by punches before?UGCTT_Fraser_Finlay -Because Diaz is often KO'd .

Just like Marquardt had never been stopped by punches before?
Just like Leben had never been KO'd before?
So what if Diaz has never been KO'd before, Anderson has and would KO a lot of people that have never been KO'd before.
I'm not even an Anderson fan but Diaz got knocked down and nearly finished multiple times by Paul Daley. Anderson Silva is 10x the fighter that Paul Daley is.
Granted Diaz does have a solid chin and is a great fighter but we're talking about Anderson Silva here! Diaz makes a lot of mistakes and can be wreckless, he drops his hands in pretty much every fight he is in. Do you think a guy like Anderson, the most accurate, precise, lethal striker in the world wouldn't capitalize on that?
Condit? I think it's funny they left him out of this equation. Probably would just jog around Anderson for 25 min anyway. Dana and company must think the same.

All I was getting at is he has a chance .
Ok !
NotJustA12er -Diaz definitely has a chance.

WandPwnsyou - Condit? I think it's funny they left him out of this equation. Probably would just jog around Anderson for 25 min anyway. Dana and company must think the same.
Condit would use a different strategy because silva knows how to cut someone off in the cage.
DeusEx - Lets be honest...Diaz wouldn't even face Mayhem.
Maybe he would face Silva if Silva dropped to WW....but Im not sure if he would face him at catch weight..maybe he would for the right money.
GSP would probably face him at WW...doubt at catch weight.
As for how the fights will go...I think GSP is a better MMA fighter than Sonnen and his takedowns are great...So I think it will be a good match.
I think Diaz has better stand up that a lot of MW thats Anderson has faced....Like Sonnen,Maia,Leites,Forrest (LHW),okami,....and even vitor IMO but I m sure people will disagree about vitor.
So diaz could fight him in the stand up....In the ground diaz could get him a sub.
Two very good fights for Anderson, skill wise.
Mayhem wasn't worth the fight !!!
Anderson is the man !
Period
Diaz versus either please.

Maia? Well it doesn't matter, Condit wouldn't get that fight anyway. Im happy at least Zuffa gives credit where credit is due ie Diaz/Anderson instead of Condit/Anderson.

Condit is the interm Welterweight champ, why the fuck would Condit/Silva make sense....
There is credit due.... Diaz is going to have a hard time in WW, the cold hard facts are: he is not top 5.... So saying that he has anything but a punchers chance with Silva is retarded....
I will give Zuffa credit for not considering Condit/Silva I will also give them credit for not considering Diaz/Silva.... It's only idiot fan base Diaz has that thinks be would do well...
Let this thread either die or ask for it I be deleted, it makes you out to be an idiot
Leave their respective legacies alone. There's no reason to have them fight. My goodness, is there 0 respect for weight classes anymore?!
No we don't... We want Silva to go to have at most 1 fight maybe against belcher, then go to LHW and fight Jones.

Yea, why would Condit wanna fight Anderson. It's not like Anderson is the MW champ. Not like Anderson vs anyone not in his weight is a super fight. Yea, idiot fans.

Edit-Pot brownie. I thought Dana had said it. If I knew it was just a poster just posting it I would have ignored it. I do feel stupid now lol. Fuuck it. I withdraw everything I said. I So Sowwy.

Kenny Florian couldnt win a title in his weight class(s).... he should fight Silva
alot of people, yourself included, dont understand the whole weight class thing... Diaz would be outmatched skill wise and weight/strength...
I don't want to see Diaz die, no thanks
SickEyeDiaz - Nick wouldn't be intimidated by Silva...that's a huge plus right there. I would give my left nut to see that fight.
