Nick surprised me and he's going to be a challenge for GSP.

Ill be the first to admit that he smashed Penn.. just look at my fantastic avatar as proof for my repenting :p. I hope he kills GSP. Its gonna be a good fight at least as Diaz could make any fight look good with his style. Still, gonna go with GSP on this one. Theres something about Diaz that makes me like him and think he can win though.. its like hes missing the part of his brain that allows him to reason and does crazy things..

As I have said in the past it wasn't Diaz's lack of skill that got him bumped out of the GSP fight and he proved it last night with a great fight, with that said (and as a Condit fan) GSP/Diaz is the fight everyone wants to see.

the thing i like about diaz is how much punishment he can absorbed. his face was messed up too but he just does his thing. i really want gsp's face to be much worse than when he fought penn the first time. i question how much punishment georges can take.  especially knowing he will potentially go five rounds vs i think the fighter with the better cardio in nick diaz. plus he will be dealing with a hostile crowd. i can already hear the chants of diaz from the mgm grand.

I can't wait to sit back and watch tapology blow up for this fight, it was starting to get pretty heated before their fight got cancelled. I never "hated" Diaz so the hype wasn't all that bad but GSP/Diaz seemed to get pretty ugly

did anybody catch the after fight news conference. diaz was talking alot to the reporters and was making them laugh. even dana got in the act. its not just nick diaz that has to be paid. its all his trainers and sparring partners that need some benjamins. he really is still driving that honda and he had his bike stolen in stockton.

11 straight wins and soon to be 12. JDS proved that a striker could beat an elite wrestler. he even had a serious knee injury while doing it. diaz will put a beating on gsp worse than what gsp did to fitch.
