Prediction: correct Diaz   wrong Submission   wrong Round 2  

I'm taking Nate by sub. I think Donald has a slight advantage on the feet, but Nate has a slight advantage on the ground.

Prediction: correct Diaz   wrong KO/TKO   wrong Round 3  

Diaz's boxing will wear Cerrone down. If Nate makes it out of the first, he takes the fight.

Prediction: correct Diaz   wrong Submission   wrong Round 1  

Just changed my pick from Nate Diaz to Cowboy, I'm sorry Nate.

The harsh weight cut is too scary for me to put money on.

Then again, I don't really care about my prediction percentage...

CHANGING BACK TO NATE DIAZ ROUND 1 SUBMISSION! WAR KUSH!

Prediction: wrong Cerrone   wrong Decision  

Diaz always lacked physical strength and i see Cerrone being the stronger of the 2, Cerrone should be able to control positions to his advantage.

Not sure if Cerrone can walk through getting stockton slapped, but i think Cerrones stand up is more dynamic and will land harder in exchanges.

Prediction: wrong Cerrone   wrong Decision  

Cerrone just wants to beat that ass apparently!

Diaz missed the lightweight limit at 155 pounds and then cut to within one-quarter pound. Instead of taking 20 percent of Diaz’s purse, as is normally mandated by state commissions, Cerrone agreed to re-work the contract. He also said Diaz didn’t have to cut any more weight. Cerrone’s camp told its fighter to pipe down and asked Diaz to go lose the weight. After two tries Diaz got it done and the most heated fight at UFC 141 is a go.”

Prediction: wrong Cerrone   wrong Decision  

No way Diaz takes this...Cerrone has made all four of his fights in the UFC look easy.  Diaz is always way overconfident and ends up dropping decisions because he doesn't fight with any urgency when he's down on the scorecards (not to mention this is only his second fight @ 155 and he missed initial weight!).  Don't know if it's his corner or if he just thinks he's going to pull a sub out of his ass but he doesn't seem to realize when he's down and then whines when he loses.

Cerrone is a tough SOB--I think they will stand and bang for the first two rounds and the third may go to Diaz but it won't be enough.  29-28 x3 Unanimous Decision win for the Cowboy!

Prediction: correct Diaz   correct Decision  

Seems like an unpopular pick, but I keep thinking about Cerrone's first round against Paul Kelly earlier in the year when he had trouble striking early on. Might be reading too much into it, but if Cerrone does have a weakness these days I think it's more in the striking than in his wrestling or submissions. Diaz, with a longer range and tricky boxing, could possibly out-point Cerrone if he can stay standing. Would be surprised to see Cerrone take this, but I'll go with Diaz.

@Gregory I agree that Diaz can win, but I don't see a boxer out pointing a kick boxer

We'll see!  Obviously Cerrone is the favorite but sometimes I like to be bold.
