The Gudderman Posted March 14, 2013 Share Posted March 14, 2013 Check out this incoherent embarrassing rabble. Maybe it's a good reason for Diaz to miss press conferences. http://www.fightersonlymag.com/content/news/18502-full-video-ufc-158-pre-event-press-conference 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DomDom Posted March 14, 2013 Share Posted March 14, 2013 He's a joke, and probably reflects badly on the entire sport. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marshmallo Posted March 15, 2013 Share Posted March 15, 2013 Listening to the presser just now, I really think Nick has some sort of mental illness/disability, however mild. -1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
banana Posted March 15, 2013 Share Posted March 15, 2013 Not a chance JDS is a better striker than Hunt. At best you can say they are about even. I'm totally unashamedly a Hunt fan. Absolute fanboy nonsense in my book, but we'll agree to disagree and hope for a good scrap. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
forkboy Posted March 15, 2013 Share Posted March 15, 2013 He's a joke, and probably reflects badly on the entire sport. Does anybody outside the MMA "bubble" actually know who Nick Diaz is? I mean casual fans don't watch press conferences or listen to conference calls. They'll watch the fights & at most maybe check a news site on the odd occasion. He gets hardcores going with his odd stream-of-conciousness rants but I'm not convinced Diaz is well known enough to reflect badly on the sport. Now if he beats GSP & is suddenly a UFC champ, that's a different matter. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marshmallo Posted March 15, 2013 Share Posted March 15, 2013 Paddy Power are offering a good few more markets on this than usual, hopefully this will continue. Markets for KO/Sub/Fight of the Night. Daron Cruickshank at 33/1 for KO of the night looks huge to me, he won it in his last fight and tries a lot of crazy stuff. -1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's clearly been punched in the head too many times. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Will get on that for sure. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Marshmallo Posted March 16, 2013 Share Posted March 16, 2013 Only thing Nick made any sense about was the wrestling thing Nah I disagree, if a guy is able to control the fight then that's fine by me. You have to stop someone who's doing it effectively. -1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BUNTS Posted March 16, 2013 Share Posted March 16, 2013 Nah I disagree, if a guy is able to control the fight then that's fine by me. You have to stop someone who's doing it effectively. Totally agree, it's a fundamental part of the game. I think the whole reason Diaz even brought it up was to try lure GSP into a stand up fight with him. I see GSP taking Diaz down for most of the fight and contolling it from there. Diaz is dangerous off his back, but so was Shields and GSP controlled him. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Diaz is dangerous off his back, but so was Shields and GSP controlled him. I think that's what will happen too. I think if anyone's going to beat GSP it will be because they are a powerful striker and they take advantage of an opening he leaves with one huge strike. Diaz is a very good boxer but it's volume instead of power that's so effective for him. Even if it were to stay standing I could see GSP winning. -1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shuggie_Murray7 Posted March 16, 2013 Author Share Posted March 16, 2013 (edited) The key thing about the stand up is, as has been said, Diaz throws volumes and if you stand infront of him he will catch you. There's no fucking chance GSP will just stand in front of him and make himself a target, And if Diaz does get within range I can't see GSP not managing to take him down.
