He may be, but why should he give every advantage to Miller? Miller call him out, not the other way around; the two were in negotions, Diaz offered a fight at like 180, Miller walked away. Diaz is undeniably the better pfp fighter, and is offering to come up in weight more than half way. Miller just wants publicity, not a fight.
Thats funny. I don't see JM bolting out of SF because of the fact that he loves to fight all over the world. UFC would want him fast. The man can talk and fight a good game. SF isn't doing right with JM because he should be used as much as they can use him on the cards.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Perspective_(visual) He is the smaller of the two between him and Miller. He has the belt, he is the more accomplished fighter, Miller was the one asking for the fight. I don't think it's unreasonable in a meeting to negotiate the details of the fight, that Diaz ask that he not have to do all of the movement in weight. So to recap: Miler calls out Diaz, Diaz agrees to negotiate, Diaz wants to meet somewhere between their two weightclasses, Mayhem walks out. You don't call out a smaller guy, walk out when he asks you to move down in weight a little, and then call him scared.
Nick and Miller are both 6'1 according to strikeforce.com . Nick is tall and lanky for the 170lbs division. Nick actually expects to get get this fight in his favor after beating on Miller with his boys and now expects to not look like a ***** when he doesn't wanna fight at 185?? His rep is on the line like never before and it has Nick scared homie!
Nick shot is mouth off. Nick sucker punched the guy. Nick said he wants a fight at 185. This is now on Nick. He comes across looking like a wuss. The prob is he knows that Jason has an all around game. Is in his prime, and would have a very good chance at beating Nick. I have said before I enjoy watching Nick fight and he has very good skills, but when you sucker punch someone, then say you want a fight at that guys weight class. It's a ***** move on Nicks part.
