Daley vs. Diaz -- Call it!!

[James Davis]

Larkin looked really good, quick and accurate. Lookes like he was slowing down a little before the finish, but that easily could have been due to the fact that he was a last minute replacement for Ishii and didn't have a lot of time to get ready. MMA needs more strikers like that. How is his ground game? If a was his opponent I'd make him change that tassel skirt thing. I think Alessio Sakara and Melvin Manhoef wear something similar. I think it could get in the way if the fight went to the ground. A few of those loose strap/tassel things could flip up and cover his mid section and make it difficult to control him. But you're right, he's beast on the feet. I def wanna see him fight again.

He's a huge Manhoef fan so those shorts will probably stay. He works on his ground game....I've actually seen him teaching classes and what not...but, I mean he's never really been on the ground in a fight except once with joao assis who is a grappler of great note. He knocked him unconscious

I like that Oakland has more evolved thugs.

lol...I don't know about that...I'm just saying where I'm from that's called a bitch move...you don't have to be a thug to not like someone deliberately trying to catch you off guard and punch you.

Diaz trains his boxing with Andre Ward. Andre Ward = elite striker. Andre Ward > Paul Daley. Paul Daley has nothing in his tool box that can hurt Diaz, he's awful on the ground and the guy Diaz trains with hits harder, throws faster, has better tecnique, and better foot work. Diaz wins this fight everywhere and finishes by choking Daley's head off.

unfortunately andre ward is not fighting. I take classes from the same muay thai coach Lorenz Larkin does...atleast I did...doesn't make me an elite striker. Why has andre ward not taught nick how to: move his head, avoid punches or strike twisting his body...or heck...even a proper boxing stance? I don't remember andre ward taking that many shots to the dome when he fought.

I like Daley with the KO in the 2nd or 3rd. Nick isn't gonna be able to take him down, and he doesn't stand a chance on the feet.

Diaz was having a problem with Cyborgs leg kicks Daley has sick leg kicks with way better hands than Evanglista I say Daley by knockout.

[Dan Wheeler]

Diaz is fucked, his title run is over, and he's gonna have to take the mayhem fight if he ever wants his million dollars...

i'm going with semtex, with 1min to go in the first.

[JoshT]

I got Diaz because of superior striking technique and dangerous ground skills

[Andrew Maxwell]

unfortunately andre ward is not fighting. I take classes from the same muay thai coach Lorenz Larkin does...atleast I did...doesn't make me an elite striker.

He has a proper boxing stance, there is more then one style of boxing and more then one stance and the one he uses is very simular to alot of succcessful boxers. He doesn't need alot of head movement because of his reach and style. The point I was making with Andre Ward is that if he takes alot of big shots from Ward in training and can survive them, then he's not going to have any trouble absorbing what Daley hits him with because I gaurentee you Wards punches are much harder.

Diaz brothers talk a lot of smack about how they are gonna do this or that, but at the end of the day they do the same old thing. They use moderate boxing skills to get it to the ground so they can work BJJ. Don't expect an explosive anything, except verbal outbursts from the Diaz clan. Good play on their part in deed, as it has worked well for them.

[Angel"EL DIABLO"Diaz]

I think in this case Diaz will dominate orrrr pull the same thing he did on takanori gomi and get forced to take him down(or was diaz taken down by gomi? I forget) and pull a lightning GoGo while Daley submits and then tries to "Club Punch" Nick Diaz after the fight and get kicked out of UFC yet again lmao which I think is hilarious you didnt bring that up Mr Davis when your calling Diaz a bitch for "club punching" when Daley is the obvious bigger bitch out of the two if your looking at it by cheap shots ( not saying Diaz isnt one just that Daley is the more notorious sucker puncher I mean when that sucker punch movie came out I though it was a documentary about Paul Daley not about some stupid girls)
