Another UD but much more bloody (yea Nick was bleeding some VS The Dream but this will be worse) as GSP will be looking to prove a point and hates Nick.
GSP will be in full control and TD and own Diaz at will. Bad match up, as Diaz can't stop it or hurt GSP on the ground. It's like the majors VS the minors and Nick did not deserve the fight in the first place. Enjoy the destruction.
A WWE like match up.
Although it's SUPER LEGIT compared to JBJ X Sonnen, it's no 'war' at all, it's complete ownage.
As for me....... as with the Sonnen fight.....Waiting on the line .......
I like this match up, but it doesn't remind me at all of Diego/Diaz on how it'll go. Diego/Diaz is one of the greatest grappling matches in MMA History along with Diego/Karo and Karo/Diaz.
Just curious, what kind of replies are you expecting?
GSP will likely beat Diaz up for the large majority of their fight. Diaz needs to "catch" him, either on the feet or getting a sub in a scramble.
But I'd take Nick to beat Diego today. Nick's TDD is vastly underrated, he can stop better takedowns artists than Diego (e.g. Sherk) and he's improved a lot from back then whereas Diego has pretty much stayed the same.
I mean that fight was 7 years ago when Nick was 22. Diego/Diaz pretty much couldn't have less relevance to GSP/Diaz.

I love this Majors vs Minors shit, so basically only two guys at the most are "Major League" in each division in the ufc? because the best Strikeforce guys are about #2-3 in each weight class.

Really? The point of the thread (as with my posts) is truth. Yes it's not popular lots of times but so what.
Hendo who can't afford it was robbed of another shot in favor of Sonnen (and now the winner of the Shogun VS Gus fight too) and now Hendro too was robbed. The reality here is there was no reason for it given the certainty of the results of there respective fights. It is what it is.
Any word on odds yet? I got JBJ at an average of about -$637, that shit was like stealing no question. So is this one.
Odds last time were -365
My guess is it'll be higher this time round.

I need to jump on that shit right away just like I did JBJ VS Sonnen
I hope I'm wrong but I see Diaz taking a beating in this fight. I think GSP will take him down obviously. I also see Diaz actively looking for submissions which will create openings for ground and pound (as opposed to someone on the bottom just trying to play it safe). Diaz also has a deep gas tank and has the energy to keep trying for subs for the full five rounds. Diaz marks up easy too so it will probably look pretty bad by the end of the fight.
I hope I'm wrong because I like Diaz fights.......but I don't see how I will be.
Of course a submission is a possibility, but I see it as a pretty unlikely one. GSP is next level shit in terms of avoiding submissions.
BJ stomped Diego, Diego stomped Diaz, Diaz lit up Bj. Mma math at its finest, GTFO lol

No MMA math was used. Reading is fundamental!
He was stomped on the ground by Diego and this will be worse (much worse) only. No math, just BRUTAL ground choppage with no chance of victory and lots more blood as I said.
In fact with GSP, Nick and Diego in order for there to even be proper math, Diego VS GSP had to me mentioned no?
I know, no worries, I was expecting lots of pre-butt hurt here

Not at all, COMPLETE CHOPPAGE and domination is called only.
