I don't think Nick cares considering he would probably feel more comfortable on his back. I'm a big Nick Diaz fan, but this is a terrible fight for him.
I think Nick might be able to stop some of GSPs takedowns. He stopped most of Sherks. The problem with that is that if he concentrates on TDD to much he will get lit up on the feet. All in all I do not give him a chance outside of a sub if he has not drastically improved his footwork.
doesn't matter, nick is sick off his back, he's subbed two bjj bb from his back... not the best match up for gsp, he won't want to mess with nick on the feet nor the ground.
I believe GSP is more versatile with his striking more so than Nick ,but don't count Nick out is boxing is very good with his hands and he's well conditioned too. GSP just need to be wary of Nick's jiu jutsu game...I can see him going for a gogoplata in the midst of GSP double leg takedown like he did with Gomi awhile back ...But GSP is most likely going to win by a dominant performance
I am waiting for the lead up to the fight before I make a prediction. Whatever Nick says GSP isnt as good as he is will be what GSP uses to end the fight...
