diaz needs to fight miller at a 180 and then come back to fight daley once daley has beaten someone like noons.
I think htat the fight will get made between Diaz and Miller. Strikeforce knows that they have a good grudge match that they can promote. I think they are just giving it time trying to get it built up as high as they can before they make it happen.
BJ Penn would never call out a fighter then backdown in front of millions when he accepts over a few pounds. If BJ called out a light heavy weight and that dude said alright lets go, BJ would have no problems moving up 50 lbs to fight him. Thats what a badass would do. Nick is no badass.
I'm gonna challenge Overeem at Super Heavyweight and not back down then everyone will call me a badass, too! Cause I didn't back down...I'll just weigh in with an extra 100 + pounds in weights strapped around my ankles/wrists + weight vest.
Nick says or does alot of retarted **** but for me its almost irrelevant. This guy is so exicting and backs up pretty much everything he says. Has Nick Diaz ever had a boring fight ? I dont recall one.
I hate his personality but, he is a good fighter. I really wish he wasn't so much of a ****** though, because I'd like to see em in the ufc.
A match with Daley interests me much more than a fight with Mayhem personally. The hype for the latter would be big but I think the reality would be Diaz having an obvious advanatge standing and Mayhem being unable to sub him on the ground, either a jab decision or a control decision. You know a fight with Daley would be a war standing with a good chance of Diaz getting the sub if it hits the ground. If I were Nick I'd be keen to stick to 5 round title matches aswell, makes it much more likely his cardio and aggresion will win though and harder for opponants to grind out a decision.
Really those are the only top fighters he's been in with as of late - though Zaromskis was a stiff challenge - although out of his depth against Nick.
Wow, you know you're desperate for some credibility when you're saying that Frank Shamrock is a top fighter ("of late").
The problem with Miller is that he's in a similar position to Frank, it'll have hyped beforehand but Diaz won't get much credit for stepping up in weight since its agenst an unranked opponant. I would point out that Fitch got to the #2 spot before facing GSP in a rather similar fashion to what Diaz is doing now, besides argeubley Diego(although he was coming off a loss and about to move down) he didnt beat any really established elite fighters but rather climbed the rankings though a series of low/mid level wins. In the end really established elite WW's a very thin on the ground, argeubley moreso than in any other division since no real talent pool was fostered by Japanese MMA.
I don't think Diaz is that much better than Mayhem on the ground. In fact in submission defense I think Mayhem has him. Miller would've submitted Shields if time would've allowed.
