I met Penn once, he was kinda a dick to me.lol.
I have never met Diaz, but still want Penn to wreck him. Does that tell you how much I don't like either of the Diaz brothers. :)

Haha. Personally, I think the UFC needs more dicks.
I don't think you're alone. I love the Diaz brothers though. I don't care what a fighter's personality is if he comes to fight an all out war every sinle fight ill respect the shit out of that fighter. And that's how the diaz brothers fight. But for this fight I'm going with Penn. Eventhough I don't want to see Penn St Pierre3 :/ Diaz/Penn should be a great fight.
Don't be hatin Conner.
I met Nate. He was friendly to me. Even signed my hat.
I'm not hatin........ and I'm not scared homie.lol.
Just not a big fan of the whole thug/gangster thing in any sport. Makes a talented guy come across like a duchie boy. :)
I love BJ though I haven't met him. He's a born fighter. He rarely gets cut, great chin, KO power, incredible balance and flexibility. I wouldn't be surprised if he took Diaz down either. He took Fitch down, which is very impressive.
he's not that gangster at all. like, at all. He's got an attitude but, I mean, he doesen't even listen to hip hop. I'm subscribed to his channel and you know what the last video he liked was? beauty school dropout, from the movie grease. lol ya. In fact, nick diaz' taste in music is so sophisticated, he amazes me. He's gotten the original score from the black swan on his favorites. I mean what the fuck? This guy is way deeper than you think conner.
It is a huge misconception about him. How many thugs/gangstas run triatholons for fun? Thugs cant swim and this is common knowledge. Whenever you come from a certain environment, you will have certain manerisms, thus people get generalized. He has always played by his own rules.
Bj was the first fighter I was actually a huge fan of and helped lead me to start the sport. But after I became a student of mma I have never been a bigger fan of anyone as I am of Nick Diaz.

Pulling for a Diaz win here.
I met Nick... super cool guy.
I think Diaz might have some type of Anxiety disorder or Mental Illness...I don't think he is just some tool like Bisping..
Anyway I got Penn by decision but I want Diaz to win.
Diaz beat BJ into retirement. lol
Diaz whooped him into retirement.
Holy shit Penn took an ass beating
Ive met BJ, he was ultra nice. Went to a seminar years back, he was real polite to everyone
BJ already decided he was gonna retire before the fight. He came out crying.
It just seems wrong for him to retire. I'm hoping he pulls a couture and goes after the LW belt again
Maybe he will be back.. who knows. I'm skeptical until it's announced.
Not thinking you will see him return. Can't wait until someone does the same for Diaz. Beats him into retirement...........coma, whatever.lol.
Ok kidding about coma, or am I ???????????? :)
No way he beats GSP. My prediction, a boring ass fight. GSP Will lay on him and control him, staying out of danger. Not exciting at all but he will do what it takes to get the win.
Thats not the fight that will put Diaz into retirement/coma...... that will be down the road by a fighter yet to be seen. Maybe 7-8 years from now by.............me !!!! :)
Diaz has such an active guard. When gsp gets it down there will be no resting. Who's the last person GSP fought that had a truly active/threatening guard?
Most likely outcome for sure...And plus the big hyped up fights always seem to under-perform..
If a tiny ww in Penn could take Diaz down in pretty much the only shot he took...no way does is diaz stopping stopping Gsp's tds..Gsp by decision as usual.
Great point. People do presume things about him because his mannerisms (and maybe even ethnicity, but lets not go there). From what I read Nick actually joined the swim team in highschool in order to avoid the local gangs that would harass him. He may act like he's from a different planet but he's never promoted gangs, gang culture, and has done everything in his life to avoid those things.
anyone else see a slight opening for a twister during that scramble when bj had nicks back? even if the opening was for just a split second it wouldve been pretty cool to see
I saw that too, yelled out twister and got the typical crazy stares from everyone in the room. Was it just a split second?? In my mind I felt like BJ was there for a while. But youre probably right, I would have to re-watch it. How awesome would it have been if he had grapevined the leg and went for it though!?
in our minds it probably did feel like a little more than just a split-second. but hey we're sitting on our asses watching it all happen on tv haha. still though. it wouldve been so sick to see!
Eddie said BJ could have got the twister.
I would say Shields, but the fight never really got to the ground. I say GSP for the Diaz fight mixes in wrestling/takedowns with some jabs and kicks. GSP by decision too.Quote:

This is what is going to happen for sure. I am not even excited about the match up. I think Condit-GSP would have been more exciting since I think Condit looked physcially stronger than Nick in his matchups and has a better chance to stand and bang against GSP.
Nicks pure jiujitsu grappling game is perfectly tailored for GSP to do what he did to BJ.
There is a reason why GSP is now salivating over this matchup. One more easy title defense for him and an apology in the end on why and how he could not finish his opponent allthough he wanted to really take him out this time but he was really tough, maybe made out of plastic or something.
