    And Diego wins impressively tonight, I want to see Diego get a shot at GSP. I have always thought that Diego would give GSP problems IF he fights the way he used to fight. He is extremely aggressive on the ground when he wants to be, has an unlimited gas tank and is very good in scrambles and with submission attempts. I think GSP would beat him, but out of the current crop Diego would be the most interesting matchup. Only if Diego impresses tonight against Kampmann though. :good

    What do you all think???

    Sanchez lost to Hathaway this would not be in the least bit competitive! Seriously I think people forget just how good GSP is?

    lay off thee meth
    gsp destroyed penn 2times, penn destroyed sanches
    gsp would probly win a submission,
    diego needs to work on his submissions, when he got paulo thiago down he just tried to get the tko
    he could be good, just not as good as gsp

    I love Diego but he would be mauled.

    GSP/Silva is all I care about now.

    Ok fellas. Well if GSP DOES stay at WW he needs a challenger. We all know MMA math doesn't work all too well, so Sanchez AT LIGHTWEIGHT losing to Penn doesn't mean all that much to me. He also beat Nick Diaz and fought a very close fight with John Fitch.

    The type of fighter that will make a fight with GSP interesting at WW is one with very good cardio, quickness on the ground and in scrambles, mentally tough and physically tough and a guy with at least decent stand up. Diego fits. I don't think he'll beat him, but out of the current crop the "old Diego" who beat Riggs, Karo, Diaz will put up a decent fight and it's a fight I'd be interested in seeing.

    Ok, so why don't you educate me. If Sanchez is impressive tonight against Kampmann. And GSP beats Shields and decides to stay at WW. Who would be a better challenger for him than Diego? :huh

    He's already destroyed Fitch. Condit, I would like to see but if you really think Condit stands much more of a chance than Diego, I just don't see why:deal

    I think GSP should take on Diego, Nick Diaz and BJ Penn all in one night. 2 rounds each for Diego and Diaz and a fresh BJ Penn for the last round. BJ would tap that a*s

    Probably the worst fight that could be made. GSP would dominate him.

    fitch

    just because he is ranked third or fourth does not mean he will put on a show, zero chance in every department

    Fitch ain't getting another shot either. That's another shutout win waiting to happen, and he's got a rematch with BJ to tend to anyway.

    Ok well after tonight I'm no longer interested at all at seeing fat, bald Diego Sanchez get executed by GSP. It would be ugly. I was wrong.
