Yes. And when GSP easily outstrikes Diaz, the 209 crowd will still claim Diaz is the best striker but could not implement his game because of the threat of the takedown.
They will blame Greg Jackson, they will blame Firas Zahabi, they will blame Pat Lundvall or even the Ref. They, of course, will blame GSP himself. They will find any excuse to explain why Nick Diaz was so easily outstriken by GSP.
And if GSP takes him down, oh the drama! How could he not stand still and let Diaz hit him? Damn you Isaac Newton for elaborating that gravity theory that still prevents Diaz from implementing his game! Oh, and damn you Obama while we're at it. It was you who suspended Nick for smoking, don't try to cover it up!
Anything to avoid the truth.
