GSP vs Nick Diaz

[2DUM2TAP]

I know, no takedown attempt was stupid. Capt'n America groundgame probably is pretty bad. BJJ wasn't around in america in 1940's.

Bad gameplan....

Actually GSP respected Caps ground game. Watch Cap take the winter soldiers back and trap the metal arm when he gets his hooks in.

GSP's ground game is just really good, you cant fault Nick Diaz for his BJJ not being effective GSP's ground game is just that good.

You can fault him for not attacking off his back though. GSP vs Condit was a much better fight then GSP vs Nick because Condit attacked with subs, sweeps and strikes when he got taken down. Nick didn't take any risks and just kinda held on

That's the entire Diaz fan base.

Yeah 90% of them are like TS.

0 logic or reason

Lel.

Nick is average at best. He looked good at strike force fighting cans. In the UFC he defeated an undersized past it Penn.

He talked his way into a title shot that he lost terribly. At this point he could probably call out thatch...then again even he's done more in the UFC

Nick Diaz crawled away from the ground fight 3 times when he was in the cage with Georges. He is ranked as a 3rd degree black belt but when the lights were shining brightest, in his UFC title fight vs. the greatest WW of all time, he wilted. It's the first time in history that a Cesar Gracie black belt has done that.

After the fight, in the cage Nick shit on Cesar which is particularly entertaining because leading up to the fight, Nick continually blasted Georges accusing him of not representing Gracie Jiu Jitsu enough.






What was also highly entertaining about the first fight is that for years, when Nick was the reigning Strikeforce champ he called out GSP every chance he had, claiming if St-Pierre asked for the fight, he would hop the cage and be like "What's up Motherfuckr?" But you saw when they were locked in the octagon, for some reason, all of a sudden Diaz didn't have anything to say. Not one word, no taunting like in the Silva fight, nothing. He was scurred. He spoke about it before the fight in the Countdown and Primetime shows about how he was scared of getting elbowed in the face.

He also didn't have anything to say when the fight was over...that is when Georges was still within ear shot. Then when the post fight presser was over and GSP had gone on to celebrate at his after party, Nick got to the Ariel Helwani interview. During that interview, when St-Pierre wasn't around anymore, he started talking about how he thinks he can beat that guy! This is exactly what you would expect from a guy that snuck out Cesar Gracie's back door leading up to the fight and went running to hide from everyone...


We won't talk about how he continually refused to engage in the stand-up portion of the fight (which was about 1/2 of the contest). I mean, when Georges wasn't boxing him up and repeatedly beating him to the punch.

So, next time you hear him asking where GSP is at, you tell Nick Georges is looking for him.

Still living through GSP vicariously I see

Why can't these stupid Diaz threads get deleted? Every other day it is another "great" idea from Diaz fans for one of their drug addict heros to get this fight or that fight that they don't deserve.

GSP dominated Nick for every minute of he 5 round fight. He was in total control. Nick had nothing for GSP on the feet or on the ground.

The PPV numbers for Nick's fights against BJ and Anderson were down from what those guys were pulling. Nick is not a draw. His fan base is mostly high schoolers and dropouts with little income. They free stream the fights, they don't pay for them.
