Nick Diaz and many of his fans and friends from Stockton California as well as across the country will be in Las Vegas for this fight. GSP will be facing a very hostile crowd so i will tell him "Don't be scared homie". Diaz wins by third round TKO.

I think GSP is going to treat his last fight the same as if it were a lose (not going to lie it was probly his worst fight to watch), which means he will come out very intense. Diaz has been good lately and is most definitely the best opponent for GSP. That all being said Diaz has never fought anyone near GSP's caliber, he has great heart but the talent, skill and work ethic does not match GSP and because of that "Rush" will win. My hope is that he can finish the damn fight this time because the shields fight was pathetic.

I thought the most anticipated fight of the year was Henderson vs Fedor

@kallous, I'm surprised their hasn't been much talk on it. It is only a month away. I wonder if Zuffa is going to do a UFC Prime Time type thing for that fight, I'd like to see one.

I agree. Makes me wonder how many people fell for the Dan Hardy hype, especially after the prime time series.

Diaz honestly stands NO chance of winning this fight.

I don't see any area where he can even compete with GSP.

I fully agree with Ian on that point. Asilva= legend and certainly an enigma.  I want to get drunk with Andy and piss him off so he'll **** me up just so i can show my friends after i get out of the ER haha.

I really hope this is an exciting fight, but I see GSP being just too strong for Diaz. He'll probably be able to stuff any submission attempts Nick throws his way.

Don't mess with The Spider.

Regarding Diaz/GSP, Diaz can't win, he just can't.

I doubt Diaz wants to move up in weight and get destroyed by Silva

Definately could be fight of the year. Especially if Diaz wins and I'm picking him to. Can't wait.

i saw someone say that the henderson/fedor fight was the most anticipated fight coming up. i respectfully disagree. for one its not a title match and fedor has lost two in a row. both diaz and gsp have double digit win streaks going for them. most people in america have no idea who fedor is. the nick diaz /george st. pierre fight is the most anticipated fight coming up. this fight will be a chess fight whereas  the fedor/henderson fight will probably be a first round knockout.

I dont see GSP being aggressive enough to knock Diaz out he'll be to busy playing it safe as usual , so i hope Diaz can actually do something , I really dont think I can sit through another GSP decision again .

just like condit and leben, diaz will go for the finish. he will make gsp actually fight. i really hope gsp  tries to stall b/c he will get boo'd unmercilfully by the vegas crowd.
