MMA - Diaz Versus GSP, Who Ya Got?

[bigmc]

It's like getbiggers are always falling for the hype, they always pick the underdog, like the listen to Rogan and believe his grap, Nick is not in GSP's league, not even close and this fight was over along time ago

are you canadian by any chance

[WOOO]

are you canadian by any chance

he lives in london

this

Sherk ragdolled Diaz years ago and GSP will do the same if he wants...but I think GSP would rather keep this standing to embarass Nick. GSP by decision after 5 round beatdown.

[bigmc]

gsp will stand through ego untill he gets popped a couple of times

he will then lie on top of diaz for the rest of the fight and get a decision

since sera beat him he has lost the style that made him a star

the best thing that could happen for gsp is for him to win a war where he beats diaz at his own game

[OTHstrong]

are you canadian by any chance

lol .....

But it's true though, every Anderson fight, getbiggers say Anderson will lose this one, cause this guy is different, their style don't match and blah blah blah, and same with GSP, they say the same all the time so getbiggers=gullible to Rogan's sale pitch.

But he shouldn't even be #1 contender though, he lost to Condit and had a poor performance.

Also no one performs at 100% coming off a loss, no one...especially to another opponent


and the Montreal crowd gives GSP some crazy hype power, the ball is in his court big time.

Nick has 8 losses and is alway letting his emotion get to him and when the Montreal crowd boo's him, he will feel like he walked into the gates of hell.

It's 100 to 1, this win is given to GSP on a silver platter.

he beat conduit three rounds to two

conduit won by tapping him with leg kicks and running away

diaz wont give a fuck about the shit he gets from the fans

[Nicademus]

GSP Unan Dec.  4 rounds to 1

no one is immune to 20 000 boos's, that is impossible, that will play a serious mindfuck on the toughest baddest person on the planet,'

Nick still lost and I thought it was a shit performence, who has Nick ever beat,no one just a bunch of cans, he has zero wins against big names except for BJ Penn who is a light weight and 4-5 years over his prime, everyone else is no name who no one has ever heard of and now he fights GSP, this is a joke.

paul daley is a brilliant striker and he knocked him out

To be fair, while Nick's resume might seem mediocre, there is MMA outside of the UFC (although most folks wouldn't care to look into it).

Here are a few other guys Nick has defeated that while not as remotely popular as a GSP, are both seasoned and well-known fighters in the world of MMA:

Chris Lytle - One of the veterans of the sport, now at the age of 38 he is retired, but had a solid record against top fighters.

Robbie Lawler (20-9) - A solid fighter with many good fights under his belt.

Josh Neer (33-13) - Everyone knows Josh and he isn't a walk in the park come fight time.

Gleison Tibau (26-9) - Part of American top team with a killer guard and some wicked submission capacity.

Frank Shamrock (23-10) - Frank is a solid fighter and unlike his brother, he doesn't believe in taking a fall.

Hayato Sakurai (37-12) - Solid fighter.

Paul Daley (31-12) - Was one of the most talented fighters in Strikeforce.

BJ Penn - The legend.

P.S. I still believe this fight will go to GSP, but I don't underestimate Diaz. While I don't think Diaz is a superb fighter (because he is not), he does have solid JiuJitsu and a boxing technique that very few in the UFC can compare with. GSP is just a more complete fighter that knows how to utilize all the tools he brings to the octagon.

Oh ya Paul forgot about him, but he ain't no GSP though, not even close, he has not been in this position and will crumple, I predict it wil either end quickley but if it does go to round 5 it will be a 1 way performance.

He should have fought at least Jon Fitch, Alves, Koshchek or Hardy before even being considered for number one contender, in fact any of these guys would beat him. Or he could have avenged his loss to Sanchez but he certainly not even top 6 welterweight and should not be fighting GSP.

 The only reason he is cause NIck has a loud mouth and has unpredictable mood swings which makes him easy to promote. This fight is pure cash for the UFC but a horrendous match up.

[Ronnie Rep]

GSP will destroy Diaz!

i agree that diaz is the best guy to promote

the other guys dont have personality

so props to diaz for putting himself on the map

same with koscheck

some of the guys in the ufc have no personality or star quality at all

that isnt diaz fault he admits he talked shit to get the fight but at least you know with diaz

that he will try to win from round one to round five and will go toe to toe

diaz brings something to the division that it needs a villian a bad boy etc

Those where long ago wins. He has not fought anyone currently at the top except for Condit which he lost to, also has losses against Sanchez, Sherk, and Parysan (sp?). He has not proved himself or paid his dues, a fighter always has a chance but he certainly does not deserve it.

Very true and that is why the fans want this fight.

[The Abdominal Snoman]

I think GSP will win the fight. But GSP's jaw is suspect. I don't think he will stand toe to toe with Diaz. He will need to take him to the ground which he will be able to pretty easily. If GSP's ego takes over and he decides to stand toe to toe, I think Diaz will knock him the fukc out.

[Fuzzy Nuts]

Diaz is a poor counter puncher. Condit might have ran around, but he also would hit Nick 3 times before his hands started moving. Diaz also has the pity pat style that is unlikely to score a knockout.

GSP never stops innovating. I have a feeling that he is going to finish Diaz.

Anyway, tonight is really going to sort out the welter weight devision.

[OneMoreRep]

Well, the Sakurai, Daley and Penn wins were all within the last 3 years. By MMA standards, those weren't too long ago.

He has not fought anyone currently at the top except for Condit which he lost to

Consider that when Diaz fought against Condit, Condit didn't bring the fight to Diaz in a way that was exciting. He (Condit) fought a smart fight, but he worked hard at dodging long exchanges with Diaz. I actually felt that the Diaz vs Condit fight was a bad match-up and a truly boring fight.

also has losses against Sanchez, Sherk, and Parysan (sp?).

Those losses occurred a while back (more than 8 years ago).

He has not proved himself or paid his dues, a fighter always has a chance but he certainly does not deserve it.

Well, I guess it comes down to a matter of opinion, but the guy has been in professional MMA for over 13-14 years, has a 26-8 record and has held championship belts in over 3 organizations (WEC welterweight champ/ IFC welterweight champ / Strikeforce welterweight champion). I think it is more than fair to say that he has paid his dues.

Either way, I think tonight's fight will, at the very least, be entertaining.

Don't be surprised (even though I HIGHLY doubt it will happen), if Diaz walks away with a win.

Not to take anything away from Diaz, but beating the current version of BJ Penn isn't that big a deal.

[HockeyFightFan]

he lives in london

Ontario or England?

GSP, but he won't finish him.

Only thing left is to watch the beating.
