Also in regards to Johnson fighting a better opponent in the rankings due to a five fight winning streak and all that...nah. Nate doesn't fight enough to accurately gauge him rankings wise. He lost to the champ his last time out, but everyone seems extremely convinced RDA is on PEDs. Plus RDA then went on to maul Pettis way worse than he did Nate. Nate's still elite, ***** just needs to stop taking a year off between fights and/or start taking **** seriously again. Him missing weight against RDA concerns me that he's going into fights half assed just to cash a check. This pick could change after the weigh ins or during the lead up to the fight depending on whether or not Nate makes weight and if he seems to give a **** or not. As of right now, I think a motivated Nate Diaz is way too much for Michael Johnson.

Then I start seeing signs that maybe Nate's actually into this MMA thing again ... I say oh well, still, when you see the styles clash, you know MJ won't brawl and is quicker and has better footwork, he's supposed to win the fight via not being there when Nate's plodding forward.
THEN I watch the Road to the Octagon and **** me sideways, Nate Diaz looks like he back. Not talking about skills, just that he generally looks like the fire is back. He's smiling, his eyes light up, he cares and he's in shape. Now I don't know who to pick.
The wannabe fighter analyst in me says, too fast, too cautious, footwork too good for a plodder like Nate to catch him in a corner and go to work. But when comparing grit and just visualizing the fight I can see a scenario where Nate manages to pressure MJ who'll eventually start taking him down because the pressure of Nate's volume is too much and end up getting subbed.
Then again, when I pick a Michael Johnson fight it goes the other way. Every time.
