GSP does not want Diaz to retire

says mma needs a fighter like diaz. when or if they fought he said diaz would bring out the best in him. if i was diaz and thought gsp was sincere about that why not make a handshake and say the whoile fight has to be standing. you think gsp would take that offer?

 

sherdog was the source.

I really want to see GSP vs Diaz. Only because GSP seems to really really want to fight him. I wonder if that could mean we see a different, old GSP.

As much as I dislike GSP I would love to see if we see a GSP who goes for the finish. Im team Diaz though. But I think it would still be cool.

I really hope Nick Diaz doesn't retire. It was a close fight, and though I think Diaz won, the only person Diaz has to blame for his loss is himself, because he left it in the hands of the judges. Granted all Condit did was run away, and tip-tap the entire fight, obviously he did enough in the judges eyes to win the fight.

Back to the subject at hand, I really hope Diaz doesn't retire, because I would still like to see Diaz continue to fight in MMA. He's one of the most exciting fighters in MMA. MMA needs fighters like Nick Diaz, BJ Penn, Rampage, Melvin Guillard, Urijah Faber, Jose Aldo, and others who show up to fight every fight. I have more respect for a fighter who goes out, gives it his all, and loses more than a fighter who fights to not lose, but still wins by points.

Problem is, if we ever did get GSP v. Diaz, I don't see it being a much different fight than Condit v. Diaz. GSP is too smart to stand and trade punches with a straight brawler and so he would either wrestle him down and grind on him for a few minutes or stay light on his feet and circle every time. Problem with Diaz is his lack of pursuit and his unwillingness to take Condit down until the 5th round despite Condit "running" the whole time.

I love Diaz and definitely want him in the UFC, but he's got to be more adaptive if he wants to fight top tier welterweights
