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.

You think the crowd will be pro-Diaz? I'm not sure. Even if a large Stockton contingent comes, there's still a lot of GSP fans out there.  I think he'll get a bigger reaction than Diaz.

@ gregory. trust me it will be 75% for diaz and 25% for gsp. the money line already went form a +350 in some places to a +275. thats a big swing. plus 90% of the time the wagering public will go with the competitive underdog in the last hour meaning the gamblers at mandalay bay will be putting there money on diaz. most people in Vegas want to take a risk or two. especially the visitors and tourists.

  Hope the Diaz boys come in with the birds flying, trash talk GSP, then win or lose finish it with a post fight octagon brawl.

during the fight, nick diaz; the most smothered man in the world...this fight is going to be gsp on top of diaz for 5rds, i don't care how good diaz's jits is gsp will completely control him, nick's tdd is pretty bad, gsp has the best td's in the game pretty easy one to call

i'm hoping for a 3rd tko, but UD is the obvious choice

GSP isnt necessarily a hero character but id enjoy watching Diaz putting St-Pierre through a war. I know Diaz would want this fight to continue all the way through but GSP might end up getting the ringside physician to stop this one.

I think this fight could be a bit of a snoozer. I mean don't get me wrong, it could be an all out war, but, I could also see GSP getting takedowns at will and smothering Diaz to a ud. Not hating on GSP here, but I think that is the most likely scenario.

I see GSP playing it safe. Hope Diaz does the Charles Oliveira and makes Georges have an exciting fight.

Diaz won't be able to stop GSPs takedowns, and GSP does a really good job of controlling on the ground so that he can't get submitted. Plus Diaz has always sucked against wrestlers and he's never beaten anyone ranked in the top ten. I really do hope Diaz can bring the fight to GSP, I would love to see that. GSP knows he can take Diaz down at will and will do that to play it safe. GSP decision.

Nick could easily put GSP in some bad spots on the ground though.  I think this is going to be a very strategic fight for GSP... maybe a take down at the end of each round.  Diaz is also prone to getting kicked a lot.  I think GSP needs to use a lot of kicks and well timed TD's.

gsp has good conditioning...but nick diaz is a mo ****n IRONMAN! i think, imo, gsp will control the first 3 rounds with takedowns galore...HOWEVER, i see this only serving to piss off the madman, and diaz catches gsp during a sloppy attempted takedown..gsp goes down, scrambles, but its too late...diaz by tko in 4th
