To say Diaz has NO chance vs ANY of those 3 is ridiculous... he has a great chance vs every WW on the planet, GSP included.
What does Diaz have for Fitch or GSP. I'm a big fan of Diaz but he hasn't fought anyone at WW that would be top ten in the UFC, if the Daley fight gets made then he will be. I don't see Daley as an easy win for Diaz though.
Diaz is no joke on his feet. Say what you want about Frank Shamrock being past his best, but Diaz was just outclassing him. Shamrock was not at his peak; but he was better still at a higher class than say Phil Baroni or Scott Smith. There aren't many mma welters that would fare well against Diaz in something that would resemble a boxing match. Diaz would struggle more with good wrestlers with good submission defense. I think he would struggle agaisnt Fitch and Koscheck. I would like to see Diaz against Matt Hughes. I think that could be a fun fight.
Penn is certainly a better style match-up than GSP, Fitch, Koscheck or Shields. If Penn chooses to keep it standing as he did against Edgar, I can see Diaz winning a decision.
If this fight went to the ground the JJ exchanges would be off the hook , both very very talented JJ practitioners who dont lay and pray and always look for a finish !!!! Id pay just to see that :deal
Daley is so many levels below Diaz on the ground that a mismatch doesnt do it justice !!!! If it goes to the ground early Daley is done :deal
GSP might outpoint him but he would be made to work for it & Fitch only hope is lay n pray, he gets outboxed on the feet & in would be i9 constant danger on the ground inside Diaz guard.
Yep, if Diaz wants an easy night he`d be as well going to the ground with this... why even give Daley a punchers chance by standing with him ?.... knowing Diaz tho, he`ll probably make it a war on the feet.
I hope he does , after all he stood there and took bombs from Santos over and over again . If you stand with Daley your asking to be punished
Guess we'll have to disagree! Diaz is fighting low level fighters an I personally don't think he looks great in those fights if GSP was fighting that level he wouldn't go to pnts once, GSP stops Diaz if it ever happens!
