Prediction: correct Diaz   correct KO/TKO   wrong Round 3  

I am so stoked this fight is going to happen. I am goin Diaz, he has shown he has no problem standing with strikers with devistating knock out power i.e. Ruthless, Diaz also has great grappling abilities, he is much more dangerous in several areas than Daley is. Therefore Daley is going to have more to worry about, and is more than likely going to be put in bad positions both on the feet and on the ground.

Diaz is no doubt  a better jiujitsu guy bit i kinda worry. it might be like the sotiropoulos/siver fight. diaz has a hell of a chin but he risks more in striking with Daley. not sure how easy itll be to take Daley down.

Diaz won't have too much trouble getting Daley down and once Daley's down, he's in way over his head.

Prediction: correct Diaz   wrong Submission   wrong Round 2  

I like Diaz in this fight, but it depends on how he fights. 

Diaz has a hell of a chin, but Paul Daley might be the hardest hitter he's ever faced.  No disrespect to Robbie.  Not only does Daley have power though, he's got great technique.  Diaz won't be able to eat too many of Daley's hooks before he goes down.  If Diaz decides to fight smart though, I think he easily catches Daley in a submission before the fight is over.  This is a hard fight to predict because Diaz has shown in the past that he's not afraid to stand with any striker.  But if he does stand with Daley I think he could get knocked out.

Prediction: correct Diaz   correct KO/TKO   wrong Round 3  

I defenetly agree with skelliher, If Diaz decides he dosent want to stand with Daley I think he'll be able to take the fight to the floor, and then it will just be a matter of time.

Diaz better not pull a kampann and keep it standing. as impressive as it would bbe to see Nick ko Daley, i dont think its worth the risk.

Diaz isn't stupid, he's gonna exchange A FEW, then take the fight to the ground and use the same game plan Shields implemented....

haha I never thought this would happen Im actually going to be cheering for Diaz in a fight. Im confident Diaz will beat Daley on the feet or the ground, I may not like Diaz but he is damn good. I have to think about this more before I put in my predictions but right now Im going Diaz by ko/tko.

@loneronin, i wanna see Daley get an ass whooping from Diaz as well. better yet, i wanna enjoy it live. seeing Daley tap and kawajiri perform will make it a great event.

This will be a tough fight for Diaz as he doesnt possess the wrestling chops of the last people to beat Daley do. He will have to exchange with Daley in order to get close enough to attempt to pull guard or trip. It will only be a matter of time...

I wonder if Daley is stupid enough to shoot for a takedown himself?

Dayley has brutal KO power unlike any other WW. If he catches Diaz within the first 2 rounds (which he probably will) then the fight is his. If it goes past 2 rounds then the fight is Diaz's!

Prediction: correct Diaz   wrong Submission   wrong Round 4  


I am not sure how so many people think Daley can beat Diaz via KO.  I agree Daley has very heavy hands, but Nick Diaz understands the stand-up game, I assume he will have the reach on him.  Even if Daley drops him, it would have to be a KO...Daley jumping down to finish him is most likely end in an armbar/guillotine etc...  Also has anyone ever seen Nick Diaz get KO'd???? I have not and I don't think it will happen with one-dimensional Paul Daley.
