Most likely Diaz will get worked badly by GSP. Hopefully Diaz pulls out some Stockton magic and wins the upset.

Conor wouldn't be any better in my opinion. I don't know why there's interest in GSP fighting lightweights.
I mean, He says he wants "legacy fights." It seems he's just back for the paycheck. Good for him, but don't expect people not to notice.

But frickin Nate Diaz man, we already know what he's capable of. He's not championship material. He's not going to keep improving. He's very solid but not good enough. There's no drama in this fight. If this fight happens it represents everything that's wrong with the current day UFC. Chasing after a decent TV rating or PPV number, instead of focusing on great fights.

I hope this fight does not happen. GSP can just stay retired and never fight again and it'd make more sense than this pointless fight.

The only upside to this fight is that it won't be for a belt. If he does win at least he won't be able to hold a division hostage by fighting once every two years like he did his entire career.
He lookedmlike a pile of **** against Bisping. I highly doubt he has the cardio, speed and reflexes to deal with Nate.

I also take issue with the idea of Diaz beating GSP. My biggest problem with a potential GSP-Nate Diaz match up is that it would not be competitive at all. Diaz has not done well fighting at 170, while St. Pierre is the GOAT at that weight. Also, when Diaz has lost in his career, it has often been because of his poor wrestling defense. Wrestling is GSP's greatest strength. Maybe GSP has lost a step due to inactivity and age, but Diaz hasn't fought for almost 2 years and is only 3 years younger than GSP.
I would also add, that every fighter is in this sport to collect cheques and feed their ego's. What other reasons are there to fight professionally?

This fight won't be at WW I believe.It will be at LW.
I'll grant you that Nate's TDD isn't stellar at only 46%, but again--what is GSP going to do when he gets him there? He's not subbing Nate, and he's not.TKOing him, so the most likely scenario.is that he exhausts himself in Nate's guard and.possibly gets subbed doing so and definitely gets sliced up. GSP basically got cut to pieces by Bisping in that position.
I completely disagree with your assessment that this fight wouldn't be competitive.If you are thinking of the GSP that fought Nick then yes, it wouldn't be. We're not talking that GSP; we're talking about a guy five years older who has undergone multiple surgeries, has.colitis and who gassed in two rounds in his last fight. Before that one he got the **** beaten out of him and.was gifted one of the worst split decision.wins.I.have seen in MMA.
GSP can only win this fight by decision.
He is only good.for.three rounds.max, and that's based on the idea that he will not be more.depleted at LW than he was at MW, which is extremely unlikely.
Anyways it would be a boring world.if.we.all.thought and felt the same.way about everything. I appreciate your opinion!

You really think he'll fight Diaz at 155? I am not so sure. It would make sense in terms of trying for a title in a third weight class, but I have serious doubts about his ability to make that weight at this stage of his career, particularly after putting on a fair amount of weight to fight Bisping. I would give Diaz a slightly better chance at 155, but GSP would still be a big favorite in my eyes.

Guess thats how bald roided up cheaters do it in quebec. He only fought bisping when he found out he had only one eye. And he still barely beat him.
