Whether Penn looks fat or not, which is usually indicative of how motivated he is

good point. I guess whether he even shows up or not is indicative of how motivated diaz is?

lets put it this way. both diaz and penn are doing a triathlon. penn would quit during the swimming part and diaz wins the triathlon. Nick D. does many triathlons and some in my neck of the woods. the sierra nevada mountain range. 19 days till penn says the same thing kenflo just did on twitter.

Prediction: wrong Penn   wrong Submission   wrong Round 2  

I think Penn could potentially win by a stoppage due to cuts but I believe his improving wrestling is gonna help him get Diaz to the ground, open up a cut and sink in a choke just like he did to Joe Daddy.

joe daddy 5 feet 6 inches. nick diaz 6 fet 1 inch. penn is the one who will get the worse of the standup. diaz is at his peak and penn is in decline. plus the moneyline has gone down like i said it would. diaz is now the small favorite in nevada.

@Wolf those are very valid points, I agree with you 100% the only difference is I see this being a 3 round stand up war. I wont be shocked if Diaz throws a big flurry and gets a TKO. I dont see Penn winning this fight. No mattert how many times I invision this fight I always see Diaz coming out on top. Im excited for it though.

I like you mike and i like tacos too. i bet nick likes tacos. only the penn supporters don't like tacos. :- }

 

Too many "ifs" with penn going into this fight. I know diaz is coming to fight, brawl and finish penn.

You do make a valid point. Diaz has much, much better endurance thatn bj penn. I admit it. But, BJ has fought way better guys than Diaz.

THe only common oponent i can think of off the top of my head is Diego Sanchez. Take a look at those fights.

This will be a fight where BJ reminds everyone why he's considered one of the best ever, and Diaz isn't.

Diego/Diaz was 5 years ago, Diaz has gotten better since then. Im starting to lean more and more towards Diaz. Diaz has better cardio, effective boxing that wears you down. Diaz's biggest weakness is his wrestling but its not Penns style to wrestle someone.

Maybe he has. He certainly looks like he has. But who has he fought in those 5 years? Frank Shamrock, Zaromskis, kj noons. C'mon son. "Diaz weakness is his wrestling". Maybe, but one of his strengths is his bjj, and penn won't be at a disadvantage there.

Penn showed against Jon Fitch his wrestling was capable...When in the last 5 years has Diaz fought a wrestler that we've seen such improvement? Also Penn is way to powerful for Diaz to take a few shots from while he tries to use his pitter-shatter boxing technique

he knockout daley who would have knocked out gsp with the same punch that hit diaz. see diaz when knocked down will stand back up. when gsp got hit with a big shot from serra he just stumbled around till he was finished. diaz will tko penn. i very confident.

Paul Daley is not a top 5 guy. No disrespect to him. Diaz would not be able to land that shot on GSP though,

the point was not if he was a top 5 guy but whether he could take daley's best shot. i say no.
