    Ed Soares is a no class clown. Cesar has skills to pay the bills. The other separation is that when Cesar competed, he won shit...

    Can't wait ! 5 rounds with Diaz is going to be to much for GSP. The only way I see Rush winning is by laying on him for 5 rounds with his superior wrestling and strength. But it looks like he's pissed now, maybe he'll come to fight for once, and if he does, it's going to be a long night or him.



    Anyway this is going to be great - Diaz new WW Champ !

    So your saying that you hope GSP will be so pissed that he fights Nick Diaz only in areas that Nick Diaz is strong?



    Just like Nick Diaz fights people who are strong in wrestling with even better wrestling of his own?



    Cesar Gracie and NIck Diaz are whiners who try to eliminate wrestling from MMA and leave only Boxing and BJJ by trying to denigrate wrestling as a legitmate Martial Art. The reason they do this is because Nick Diaz sucks at wrestling and they know he will lose to an accomplished wrestter.



    Do you really believe that GSP will stand in the pocket and trade with Diaz's punches in bunches, or will he change levels and easily take Nick down--then GnP his face to a bloody mess?



    Do you really believe that GSP will gas in round 5?



    I hope the bookies give Diaz fantastic odds of winning. I could use a new hardwoord floor in my living room.

    The last 5 fights Diaz has everybody says the same thing he can't win iy he does so and so.



    Let me say nick has good tdd when he doesn't want to go down. He has Gilbert and shields to train with and has in the past displayed extremly good tdd. He stuffed Sherk 8/10 times. He is also the best welter weight mma grappler. The way he got out of bj's back mount was methodical and beautiful to watch. There was a few seconds of the best bjj I have seen (extremly high level) in a while. Do you think George will risk posturing to strike?



    Diaz whines but has a point. The judges dot understand grappling very well. They don't score transition, sweeps, isolation, and nullifying an opponent on top. All of Diaz's losses were too close to call if you know grappling and what he was doing to Sherk, Sanchez, Riggs, or parysian.



    So we will see.

    Maybe now Nick will start getting some of the credit he's been due a long time. I don't know about being THE biggest fight in UFC history but it will definately be one of the biggest in UFC history. I hated seeing Bj getting beat up like that, tbh it was one of the worst fights i've had to sit and watch as Bj and Nick are my two favourite fighters and have been for a long time. Still, it had to happen but i'm glad it's done and dusted now, bring on GSP i say, GSP is definately a different deal altogether but i really think Nick has a good chance of beating him, especially over 5 rounds. GSP has had the strap for long enough now and i think a changing of the guard is coming, i can already see Nick as the UFC WW champ!!!........

    im starting to like diaz as a fighter and i hope he brings the fight to GSP cause we all know that Gsp doesnt bring the fight,he brings the wrestle...which isnt bad,im jus sayin that he is a boring fighter.i know,i know that he is the champ and he wants to stay the champ but every other champ in every other division slugs it out and looks to finish a fight....so why cant he do it for once????

    the reason why Nick Diaz has been successful lately is because he brings his opponents into his fight which is more of a brawl. he stood toe to toe with Bj and traded shots, same with Daley and his other previous opponents. GSP is a technical fighter who likes to win by points and leaving the fight with trying to take the least amount of damage as possible. I know a lot of people think Diaz is going to run right through GSP but I'm going to say GSP is gonna out smart Diaz and wont fold into his Street Fighter game and come with a better game plan to outpoint Diaz on the judges card

    It's pure BULLSH*T that Condit gets sidelined for this. Diaz F*cked up and should have to wait for his shot, plain and simple. Beating Penn is no reason to put him right into the title fight. Condit should be rightfully pissed off by this change of events. Bad move Dana, I'm not agreeing with this at all. This is a money grubbing douchebag move.

    So first he puts GSP down, questioning his ability and integrity, but now Diaz is fighting him it's gonna be the biggest match in history? No contradiction there...



    I have no problem with guys promoting their fighters but if you lay the BS on that thick, you sound like a fan boy, not a pro.
