This is 100% right on the money. As much as I love Diaz and his fighting style, I don't see Diaz pulling out the win on this. I don't mind at all being wrong about that though =D. I love a good fight regardless of who wins.

I don't know if I'll be confident enough to put money on Diaz by sub, but it's a high possibility.
I agree man. GSP will not stay on the feet with Diaz. Unless Diaz does a 180 and starts training takedown defense (he's never made it a priority as far as I know) then the fight is going to the floor. 25 minutes is a long ass time to be in Nick Diaz' guard.
Diaz really has one true advantage. He will not be broken mentally, ever. He will fight to the end for every minute. Lots of people break against GSP. Diaz won't.
That is 100% on the money as well. If Diaz is going to win this, I think his best chance is with a super slick submission. I'll throw it out there and predict a triangle if he does sub GSP. I think the crowd would be on their feet if that happened. I know MY jaw would drop.
