Hard to argue with Nate on this one.  

Bringing an amateur to the pros doesn't make the amateur a pro, it makes the pros look like amateurs.

Prediction: wrong Diaz   wrong Submission   wrong Round 2  

They'll accidentally be dinging the bell to end the round with two minutes still left on the clock constantly on the card CM Punk gets booked on.  Makin the pros look like amateurs.

A matchup between Diaz and Pettis has me drooling. Gotta go with Diaz just because RDA is inconsistent.

Pettis would do what Josh Thomson did to Diaz but much more awesomely. I agree about Diaz beating RDA though.

Prediction: correct dos Anjos   wrong KO/TKO   wrong Round 1  

After Nate weighed in at 160.6 I don't think he's taking this fight seriously enough. I changed my pick from Dos Anjos by Decision to by KO.

I've been telling people all week ... Diaz is phoning it in, he's pissed off, he's not in it and is fighting because he has to.

Him  "oversleeping" for media workouts and missing weight by 5lbs is basically him saying "maybe I have to fight but I'm still gonna give you a ****load of **** yous along the way"

Is Diaz getting cut if he loses this fight? Holding out over a contract, skipping open workouts, and missing weight all look bad for him.

I'm wondering if he missed on purpose.  Everyone knows how much Dana hates it when fighters miss weight.  Is he trying to get the UFC to cut him loose?

I think Dana is going to see through what Diaz is doing. I see nothing but horrible match ups and being buried on cards for the rest of his contract, however many fights that is.

Didn't Nate Diaz ask to be cut awhile back?

OldManBreaux, it is obvious that is  what Nate is trying to do.  Reebok diss tweet, comments about CM Punk and now coming in 4 and a half pounds over.

Diaz missing weight just sealed my confidence in RDA.

RDA seems the clear pick now.  Of course maybe Diaz shows up possessed and gets it done, but with the layoff and all this BS?  I'm going RDA.

Diaz didn't look drained. because he didn't even bother. 

He's a great underdog here.
