Pride FC and MMA

[ktothe]

He's always like that. And its fucking amazing. I love the Diaz brothers.

[cJajce]

if you haven't yet, watch his pre-fight interview. pretty entertaining stuff...

"maybe thats your job but where i come from, people like that get slapped." Nick Diaz

[TPR950H]

yeah it seems like hes talking crazy though, like he has a paranoid or something-- always looking around. and then talking about getting suspended out of no where and not really answering questions.

bonkers man.

[ktothe]

"That motherfucker doesn’t want to fight me. Talking about [how] he wants to fight me every chance he gets. He’s got control of the media. I’ll fight at any weight. I’ll fight at 185 pounds. I’d like to get paid. Pacquiao’s making $40 fucking million, GSP’s making a couple millions dollars, and I’m over here driving a Honda because my shit’s breaking down."

[ke1]

@ktothe, lol don't worry, I'm well aware of his vulnerability to wrestling. he even got taken down in the daley fight. I also know that his level of competition has't been stellar and he's somehow managed to avoid fighting wrestlers in this most recent win streak of his. It just comes down to it being a gut feeling, mostly persuaded by bias.

When I speculated how diaz would fare against the likes of kos and fitch, my first instinct is to say that he'd manage to stay off his back via reversals/sweeps/escapes and would outstrike easily. The second scenario, and more probable one, plays out like you said before.

Speaking of which, it just came to me, gsp has been able to get off his back.against fitch (and kos?) fairly easily. Also, though we've seen diaz taken down here and there, but when hasn't his high level Jiu jitsu gotten him back up just as easily? Not gonna start comparing gsp and diaz, maybe a little, but is gsps explosiveness and strength that much more effective than diaz's aggressive jiu jitsu?

All in all, I just hope this strikeforce merger happens sooner than later

Take a look at the Sanchez fight. It's basically Nick trying to get off his back for 3 rounds.

Also the Karo fight.

[Lozinski]

Diaz got knocked down twice in the fight... Not really number 2 material but very good nonetheless.

Melendez on the other hand could easily destroy anyone in the 155 division.

Melendez vs. Edgar unification title fight? mmmmmmmmm

HOx3q1nJCVk

heh ufc def getting more clever with its advertisements.....

[16steps]

gsp all day over jake shields

[i wear shooes]

GSP.

Can't wait for Saturday's card.

[dunkin deeznuts]

wow! really? i think you are in the minority in that thought

[TPR950H]

im more excited about jokerface.

on the topic of WEC, jose aldo is badass.

[dunkin deeznuts]

i just hope gsp doesnt let it go to a decision....i'd like to see a ko or submission....no need to show us how good your cardio is georgie!

[16steps]

if it goes to decision ive got $100 that says he'll say "im so sorry to my fans"

[Lozinski]

So pumped. I'm going for GSP.

Jake Shields last win was not very convincing. Either way, it's still going to be one hell of a fight.

[ke1]

Jake Shields has to be the worst striker he's fought since MAYBE Matt Hughes which was 6 year ago, and quite possibly even further back. Prepared to see some crazy ass shit on the feet by GSP. Also feel like he'll take it to the ground at one point or another and surprise us with how well he bodes against Shields' bottom game.

[baizilla]

I'm definitely more excited about the Aldo-Hominick fight than the main event.

[aak]

i'm with baizilla, aldo/hominick has the potential to be exciting as fuck!

gsp by tko. you heard it first.

[jackandcoke]

Aldo is gonna get top mount, rain down punches, hominick will cover up and

get his back taken in transition and get the RNC

[TPR950H]

i dont think it will go to the ground.

im hoping for a head kick KO

[ke1]

Makdessi, that's some vicious shit.

Great to see Macdonald back with a win via beautiful triangle set-up.

[ke1]

Don't expect Rory to be suplexing every dude 3x in a row, but this kid is no joke. Teaming up with Firas is gonna send him over the top.

Shits kinda depressing though cuz I just turned 21 myself...

[Leonard Leroy]

lol another steven seagal KO by Machida

[cJajce]

^^^pretty sure that was the crane.

[alex-san]

[Lozinski]

lol... The end of the first round was tight but for the rest of the fight, that eye thing threw him off. I love his fights but I can see why a lot of people aren't the biggest fans.

Any leaks or rumors on who he's fighting next?
