This press conference is more entertaining than the fight looks (on paper at least)


Diaz is his usual aggressive answering most things and GSP keeps going about everything.



-P-

There are dark places in GSP's head that Diaz is going to realize were a bad idea to get riled up.

Is anyone expecting this to actually be a good fight?

I was hyped the last few weeks but i just rewatched GSP's last couple fights and now I really don't give a fukk unfortunately. GSP is going to lay on him and clasp his hands together. Give a few rib shots and few pitter patters to the head .. REPEAT for 25 Minutes.

I actually am hyped to see this fight, more so than any other of his last 10 fights or so. Mainly because I really wanna see the strategic battle. If a fighter has a strong striking gm, GSP jus lays on em for 25mins as u sd wit his pitter patter (hardy, alves) if a fighter is strong on da ground he stands up wit em n jabs em to death (shields, Kos). But Diaz may be one of the few fighters who actually has good BJJ while on his back. And we saw, GSP wanted no part of Jake Shields on da ground. So maybe GSP plans to use the Condit strategy and stand wit Diaz, and out jab em, work em. Which will b pure entertainment for me. As Diaz has better stand up than Shields, n Kos.

It will be a terrible fight I predict a hybrid approach of Condit and classic GSP lay n pray. Essentially lots of leg kicks running away and then takedowns when Diaz tries to take him down. Seems like GSP is tired of MMA and might be towards the end of his career.

GSP didn't have as much of a size advantage on Jake who was pretty big for a WW. Jake was a real threat for a sweep on the ground. I have to think GSP thinks he can out muscle Nick in the guard.

GSP is too smart to ever fight Diaz head on. He's going to try to leg kick Diaz's front leg to death. I just hope Diaz has an answer for that but the Diaz brothers seem to have a hard time with making an adjustment. I mean, they make no adjustments.

Nick Diaz has no chance this weekend GSP is gonna dominate this n1gga something serious with them leg kicks

So basically this is breaking down like a classic old school Gracie matchup, bigger, stronger wrestler/grappler against a BJJ on his back.

I think, GSP wont want nething to do with the ground, and will as the rest of you guys said, really focus on the leg kicks to piss him Diaz and get him out his groove. Every time Diaz stands in da classic boxin stance jus unleash sum vicious outside leg kicks. And not sure if Diaz will have ne answer for that.

But i am looking forward for this match, as long as GSP is at WW he's gonna have dat size advantage, and minus da jake shields fight i wasnt expectin a good fight.

This. Then they complain about why they lost the fight





starts at 7:30, that boy nick might actually be semi-retarded

 

[TheLukieBaby]

It's not even going to be an angry GSP watch him land 5,000 leg kicks with Rogan talking about how "hard" each one is and then he scurries to the other side of the cage and then takes Diaz down only to let him up and do it all over again. I see Diaz getting mad and confused that he lost the decision being the most exciting part of the fight

Nick Diaz just told @timandsid that he believes Georges St-Pierre is on "plenty of steroids" and the UFC won't do anything about it. Wow.

 

[Ballandchain]

Press conference was hilarious, Diaz is a character but I got GSP stomping him, stopping him due to cuts, Condit/Hendricks and Ellenberger/Marquardt are way more interesting.

 

[PHamm]

I'm definitely a Diaz bros fan but this fight won't even be close. I'm not excited at all for it because GSP is gonna lay n pray his way to a victory.

Condit/Hendricks is a much more intriguing fight.
