UFC 158 GSP vs Diaz Discussion Thread (Spoilers)

Will GSP ever fight Jones or silva?

 

Man, watching the press conference

"I've never paid taxes in my life...I'm probably going to go to jail." - Nick Diaz

Dude is crazy.

 

He started to look away when he realised what he was saying wasnt making much sense. Ive never watched these after fight interviews but he does not seem all that comfortable...

Well he wont be fighting Jones but its a maybe for Silva. I bet GSP is hoping Weidman finishes Silva so the pressure wont be on him to take the superfight..

 

atsch

 

He also told Hendricks that he didn't deserve to win, while sitting right beside him, and that he thinks he can beat GSP. He commented that GSP hits like a girl.

 

Not surprising at all. I've heard that a lot of these guys don't pay their taxes. Most aren't stupid enough to admit to it in front of the media at a press conference though.

 

quote of the press conference:

ill make excuses all day - nick diaz

 

thats how he broke koscheck's orbit, with his girly jab.

 

diaz is one of those people who lives his life as a victim. that way he always can blame someone else for his lack of looks, education, ability, etc.
complain about how if he'd been born in a better part of town, or with better parents and better opportunities, than his life would of been much better for him.
it would of been fairer.
he has a huge chip on his shoulder that will eventually crush him.

he's a bit like arnold judas rimmer really!

 

I was impressed with Diaz' take down defense. I can't remember the last time GSP struggled to take an opponent down. That was it though

I'd love to see either Hendricks or Ellenberger test his chin. Can't wait to see Macdonald fight. Either against Kampmann or Ellenberger.

 

you are not accounting for a huge factor here, fear. Hendricks is the most heavy handed opponent gsp has ever faced and I think that will mess with him.

 

So much for Diaz and his dangerous JJ

 

People dogging Nick for his performance...give me a break. GSP is a stallion swaddled in tiny spandex shorts. If they're both running at full speed, no way can Nick do anything with him. Diaz's game plan was actually the right one, it just didn't transpire like he needed it to. Take it past the 2nd and 3rd round and see if GSP gasses, and then use his cardio to try and close the gap.

Didn't happen. Oh well. Bring on the Big Rig baby.

 

i know your taking the **** but it actually ran through my mind during the fight how overlooked GSP's jiu jitsu is. he controlled the **** out of diaz on the floor and could have taken his back numerous times. id love to see them go at it in a gi match
