    On the contrary. It will be one of GSP's most exciting fights because Nick poses a legitimate threat from every position with a limitless gastank.

    How? He's never beaten a top 5 WW. Ever. Look, I'm a huge Diaz fan, but i have serious doubts he can convincingly beat alot of the WWs in the division. Here is a list of fighters I would give a very good chance of beating him.
    GSP
    Condit
    Rory Mac
    Hendricks
    Maia
    Ellenberger
    Fitch
    Alves
    Marquart

    Can you honestly say Diaz has A) done more than all them to earn a top 5 spot, and B) would definitely win a fight against them?

    Nick's only chance is a sub and GSP dont get subbed.

    Different, yes, but do you think this new spark is a bad thing? I don't.

    Did I say it was a bad thing ? :huh

    Just said he acted weird...and that's just an opinion ! :good

    He seems genuinely pissed at the press conference and like Rob already said, he will either really want to damage Diaz, or be reckless....so either way great fight incoming IMO ! :thumbsup

    But at the weight in it was kinda weird, don't remember other GSP weight in but the way he threw his arm in the air was just...weird... but I'm prolly reading to much into this !

    I see this fight lasting 3 1/2 rounds tops. It will be like the Cyborg Santos and Paul Daley fights only that I see GSP winning. If GSP tries to stand with him he will be backed up and tagged so I hope he puts Diaz on his ass. From there I see him punching with full force from the guard, and causing the ref to jump in rounds 2 or 3 :good

    TBH I agree with you.

    I think GSP def jits is enough to beat Diaz and he is intelligent enough to not put himself into dangerous position.

    I agree with you that with that stand up Diaz has really good hands and insane volume but TBH IMO I think we might some vintage GSP tomorow.

    The way I see it it's going to be stopped in the 3 or the 4 with vicious knee to the body...at least I hope !
