Thanks that's good to know. It seems really awkward finishing the arm bar with only 1 arm, but I guess that's what drilling is for.

Ok Nick...real talk...you need to fight Semtex Daly!! Seriously...that has fight of the year written all over it. Will Nick be able to handle an elite striker?

Elite stricker, lol daily has knockout power in his left hook thats it, Elite stricker means a plethera of options, so your real question is, can Diaz beat someone with a knckout punch, well, Nick knocked out Robbie lawler in ufc, he smashed Scott smith, beat down KJ noons, uh i think that qualifies

But weight in, How many shots can Daly take from Nick ? And how many shots can Nick take from Daly ? If they go punch for punch, then I say Daly would win. But again it's barely interesting. People ask who Mayhem has beaten ? Well the same can be said for Nick. A rematch with Diego would be awesome. But right now he's a big fish in a small pond.

what ? Nick beat, robbie lawler , scott smith, kj noons, frank shamrock, cyborg & others in the ufc & strickforce, & the Diego sanches fight should have been a draw, & mayham beat sakuraba & who else?

You have the option to gable grip your hands together with the leg and arm and still finish the arm bar. Eddie has been pressing this issue of being close to their legs when finishing the arm bar, and keeping the leg makes this happen.

Yes or No . Do you think Nick Diaz is a big fish in a small pond ? Who gave Scott Smith a chance against Diaz anyways ? Obviously Nick wasn't going to have the conditioning problems Cung Lee did. And does anybody really think Frank Shamrock was a big test for Diaz or Sakuraba a big test for Mayhem ? And you think the Diego fight should have been a draw ? Well that's your opinion, but the only opinions that mattered were the 3 judges of the fight. But that's why I would pay to see a rematch since they are Both much better than they were.

It was a great fight. I have a new respect for him. Mayhem needs to beat someone first. Gsp completely dominated him at UFC 52. It was GSP the whole fight. So i dont think Mayhem is up to par yet. GSP would on the other hand be a whole different story. I wouldnt mind watching a GSP Diaz fight. My bet is still on GSP but it would be great.

And if you havent seen the GSP Mayhem fight

Well I guess if people are saying that Nick has sick boxing then daly qualifies as elite as nick can't even hold a proper boxing stance and arm punches. Having a great left hook is something that most right hand mma'ers are susceptible too. Why? Because it seems that the boxing defense is so week. A fighter with a good left jab and hook finds his target all day. Nick Diaz, holding his arms at his side running his mouth will be on a stretcher if he does that with daly. Period. He took a ton of punches to the dome last night. He didn't even try to defend. Now it could just be because he knew Cyborg couldn't hurt him.
