Is it possible that Nick Diaz could psychologically & tactically defeat GSP?

Ive said for a while now that Nick Diaz would have the best chance vs GSP.

I think Diaz gives him hell on the feet & has good enough BJJ to keep reasonably safe when GSP takes him down + Diaz is a cardio machine & gets stronger as the fight goes on & he wont get discouraged by being hit or taken down repeatedly.

I think its thee fight to be made at 170 & it would decide IMO who the best WW in the world is.

 

I agree

 

And the delay in the fight caused by his injury.

 

Nick Diaz is the anti-GSP. You say the best aspect of your game is stand up - Nick bangs it out with you. You want to take it to the gorund - let's go to the ground. His will is unbelievable and he breaks his opponents. Whilst GSP is undoubtedly the more naturally talented, I think the mental aspect of his game is lacking and Diaz is great at exploiting these flaws in his opponents.

I still think GSP could lay and pray his way to a decision mind you, but if something like last night happens and GSP gets cut or swolen, the panic which he showed against Shields would be exploited by Nick.

 

I completely agree with this.

 

No.
