Truth
I want Diaz to win, mainly due to MMA becoming stagnant and needing a major shakeup to get interesting again.
GSP and Silva have been at the top too long and I'm anxious to see one go.
I think it would be more exciting, that's for sure
I am a REAL fan and want GSP to win. Your theory is inaccurate, MMA Einstein.
I want GSP to win but I cannot deny that it would be damned interesting if Diaz got it

I'm such a fan of Gsp, I don't care if he lays n prays for five rounds. I hope he does so I can watch the emotional breakdowns that will occur.
Does your hate for Diaz fans really have you hoping to see a 25 minute LnP?
Don't 'real fans' (whatever that means) want to see a good fight?
Real fans of fighting and martial arts want Diaz to win. Sports fans want GSP
yes but the real fans know GSP will probably win via smother or by cut..
The middle fingers of NickDiaz - The only reason people like GSP is because hes such a nice guy. Nobody says "I like GSP because his fights are insane and he always comes to fight"
Everyone likes to watch Diaz fight, no matter what they say.
Personally, I like him because he's so well rounded in all aspects of MMA.. I watch MMA to see everything, not just the flat footed strikers who plod straight ahead.
Real fans of MMA like watching fights that showcase all facets of Mixed Martial Arts.
Low IQ mouth breathers like watching WWE style shit talkers and punching only hood rats.

Everyone likes to watch Diaz fight, no matter what they say.
Or they like him because he's the best at what he does, he's ahead of the curve, and he's an all around stand up guy.
Just found out I'm not a real fan :-(
So does it make me a real fan if I want GSP to win but actually fight aggressively and win by KO/sub? I mean if he fights balls to the wall and goes to decision I wouldnt be upset but I'd like him to do more than lay on Diaz. I'm not sure if that makes me a fan or not. I should probably just stop watching if I'm not a fan.
I'm a real fan and I want GSP to win. Umad?
In a way I think your right OP...All my casual friend fans hate Nick Diaz they think he is this new guy, some disrespectful punk the UFC just picked up...But all the hardcore guys, the guys that have been following MMA for years and years understand who Nick is and know whats up.
AlexanderTheGOAT - Real people do. Nothing against GSP but Nick deserves the strap.
Tell me more about how he deserves it
Matt Perry -Real fans of fighting and martial arts want Diaz to win. Sports fans want GSP
In a nutshell this! All my casual friend fans that want GSP to win are football, hockey jocks who never trained any kind of MMA and they understand that GSP is the best in the SPORT...all my old school fans have done bjj, boxed, mua thai and they are pulling for Diaz... Right on Matt
VTFU!!
MasterofMartialArts - I am a REAL fan and want GSP to win. Your theory is inaccurate, MMA Einstein.
This.
Fuck off, OP.
Anderson Emelianenko GOAT - wanting GSP to win against Diaz would be like wanting Guida to win against Aldo
Why, gsp is nothing like guida and nick is nothing like Aldo?
GSP will ragdoll nick
If anything it's the opposite, any casual fan loves Diaz, he has a bully style of fighting where he cuts off the ring and uses power shots in great volume
GSP's style is alot harder to appreciate, it's strengths rely on solid striking fundamentals, an incredible ability transition between striking/clinching/ground phases of the game, and very powerful positional BJJ and transitions on the ground for strong GnP. A lot more nuanced, Jack Slack wrote a whole article just on his jab and it was anything but pandering -- there really was alot to write about
I love both fighters and will be happy whoever wins, but Diaz is alot more accessible and at least in Toronto / Montreal, he's got alot more casual fans not counting the seperatists who're gonna root for Georges no matter what lol
IDOHARM -I wasn't gay until I clicked this thread, and now all I can think about is faggots like the OP.
lol
