Lets not forget how rocked Silva was in Round 1 at UFC 168.
Yeah Weidman has more power than Diaz, that's a given. What i'm saying is if Anderson starts getting over confident against the cage he could get caught, after all that's where Diaz throws his best combos.
In the Bonnar fight he was definately getting punched in the face here and there before he exploded for another Silva"esque" KO, but he was getting hit and that .gif shows it.... Now factor in that Silva has never fought someone who throws combo's against the cage like Diaz, especially mixing in body shots.....
I'm just playing devils advocate here..... if you notice i'm picking Silva by KO - but Silva sitting against the cage trying to bob & weave a Diaz combo could equal something noboby wants to see.

I'm worried about the chin because of the rematch; Weidman knocked Anderson down in the first round from a short hook in a single collar clinch.
That punch was not powerful in the least but it really ****** with Anderson, so I can't trust his chin anymore.

If you haven't seen it yet, the reason why I say that is because Nick Diaz exposes not only his head but his neck completely when he does his body punching against the cage. Look at the way he leans his head on Evangelista's. In the picture of the body hook on Frank Shamrock, Nick Diaz's neck is once again susceptible to getting grabbed by Frank's left hand. In the GIF where Nick Diaz is beating down Marius Zaromskis, look at how he leans his head forward as he starts to target the body towards the end of the clip. Finally, if you look at the last image against Paul Daley, Nick Diaz does the same thing only Paul Daley has the knowledge and wherewithal to initiate the double collar against Nick.
Anderson Silva is still a master of the double collar tie plum and with that added size advantage, he'll probably be able to rip Nick Diaz's head straight off of his neck MK-style.

But like I said, I don't think Silva will look like he used to. Nick would probably clip him upstairs before Silva can land any big knees.
And I actually think his head is relatively safe when its pressed up to the other guys head/neck area. You hear good wrestlers talking about doing that all the time. Its when Nick is rushing in just before he gets right up on hi that the clinch could come.

Remember what Nick Diaz did to BJ Penn? I think that Anderson Silva is going to do the same thing to Nick Diaz. I really love both fighters. In fact they are two of my favs, but I just don't see Nick Diaz being able to hang with Anderson Silva. However, it is possible that Silva is on the downhill slide of his career, and we all saw what Diaz did to Frank Shamrock on the downhill slide of his career.
In all honesty, if Diaz makes out of the 1st round, I'll be surprised. I'm excited for the fight, but then again tentative both for Diaz and Silva. For Silva this a "nothing to gain, everything to lose fight." For Diaz, he's going in there against the greatest MMA MW of all time, and I think that Nick's style plays right into Silva's hands. I wish them both luck.

GSP injuried himself during the alves fight not prior. That not the same thing at all, GSP had trouble even making weight for the Diaz fight because he injuried his knee prior to the fight. Yes we do all know who won the condit - Diaqz fight, it was Condit, by out landing him the entire fight and having by far the most dominant round of the fight which was the 4th. Diaz fans still butt hurt. COndit has been more then willing to rematch DIaz, but you don't see Diaz taking the fight do you? Condit won that fight and he dam sure win the rematch.

But I'm on team Anderson ... always have been, always will be. Even when he fought Chael who I love to bits, I was rooting for Anderson.
Chael Sonnen is god.
