    30 seconds into rnd 9 and Diaz threw one meaningless punch

    i have it 5-2 grj, it's a quantity vs. quality fight but diaz is just way too passive in most of these rounds. it's frustrating as hell, feels like he could win this if he takes more risks. the jab is bothering him a lot though.

    That's a huge pet peeve of mine, particularly in a pressure fighter. What the heck's the point?

    Much better tactics by GRJ these last couple of rounds - using the ring and boxing instead of standing in front of Diaz and getting his ribs roasted.

    Not sure If his conditioning sucks or he is just looking for one big shot but Diaz isn’t going to win rounds getting so heavily outworked.

    Round 1 Diaz 10-9
    Round 2 Diaz 10-9
    Round 3 Russell 10-9
    Round 4 Russell 10-9
    Round 5 Diaz 10-9
    Round 6 Diaz 10-9
    Round 7 Russell 10-9
    Round 8 Russell 10-9

    Close round, but GRJ landed his jab more often and in combo, his shots are actually getting through now, Diaz still doing good work to the body.

    Diaz needs to land something BIG.
