Let me preface this by saying that if Nick fights his fight...uses striking to try for takedowns and tries to submit daley...he will wear him out and get a submission in the 4th.
However, I think there is no chance of that. I think Nick "I ain't no bitch" Diaz will try to swing with Daley an be brutally KO'd in the 2nd round.
Noob Analysis -- Everyone talks about nick's stand up...this is where I start laughing...Nick Diaz striking is why boxers laugh at mma guys on their feet. No head movement, arm swinging, no defense. Nick takes a lot of shots to the head and has pillow fists because of the arm punching. The other issue is that Nick is great on the ground but he struggles on the takedown front. Sure...Daley sucks on the ground but he has decent takedown defense and defending how close Diaz is to get into shoot for the leg...he might have problems.
Daley is a one trick pony...but his one trick is where Diaz has a weakness. Nick takes a lot of punches, people who take a lot of punches from daley end up unconscious.
And just some mild gloss for my boy Lorenz from my old gym MAI:
This is how you strike! See when all that jibba jabba gets started in here about ELITE STRIKING...this is elite striking: bouncing on the feet, head movement..putting weight distribution into your punches. People better pray he sucks on the ground..because he is a KILLER!
***James Davis does in fact realize that this is a mild troll. James Davis also realizes that he has gone on record saying that he hates Nick Diaz specifically for his massive shit talking and then apparent dick tuck with mayhem miller. James Davis also hates Nick Diaz and all club punching muthafuckas because of a club punch he received in 1989 at some obscure ganbanging club in SF where he was hit by some 5'6" gangsta midget, however it has nothing to do with this thread.....really. James Davis acknowledges that this is going to be one hell of a fight and predicts that it will be fight of the year. James Davis also thinks that strikeforce is retarded for not using another fight or two to set up this fight. Now Strikeforce is shooting it's whole load in the first 4 months of the year and doesn't have much to look forward to for the rest of the year unless Werdum beats Overoids.
