My apologies if the alcohol is speaking... but my perspective of this Lawler and Diaz fight... there is no possible way Diaz wins this fight.  Diaz is not the same young and hungry Diaz anymore.  The guy is a LEGEND, he is one of the pioneers of MMA and I am a huge fan.  His brother has surpassed him, if it was Nate Diaz vs. Robbie Lawler I would choose Nate to win the fight.  But Nick man, I'm sorry, Robbie is going to starch him in the first or second round by TKO.  

The second that Diaz gets hit, he's going to be like ***... that's what happens when you are so many years from this sport.  I hope I'm wrong, I love Diaz... I loved their first fight.  But it's over for Nick Diaz.

I can imagine Nick's training camp went like this.  His teamates wouldn't dare go hard on him or hit him hard in this new condition out of respect.  Lawler on the other hand will go guns blazing on him and it will be game over.

Only thing I'm worried about in this fight is Pearce's aggressive style leading to a finish by Omar.

Pearce takes the first with the control and takedowns? He's got an uncomfortable style though.... Feel like he leaves himself ridiculously open
