Was Nick Diaz to blame for that last Silva fight being so dull?

You put a quote with no source. What does reach have to do with height/weight? Nothing. I just sourced GSP did not cut from north of 190. He started off cutting from LOW 180s .. and aside from 1-2 fights he never cut from north of 190. I just sourced that after the Shields fight, where he was over 190, GSP went back to 185, because he could not fight effectively cutting from 190+ because he was simply too small to add that weight.

Maybe you want to source GSP being 195 for the Condit fight? Since, you know, I just sourced him being 185 right after Shields.

You still haven't acknowledge how wrong you were by saying GSP was a small WW. And you clearly aren't going to do it so I'm going to exit this convo. I don't like discussions where one side is this intellectually dishonest. Cheers.

And here is your source: http://mmajunkie.com/2012/10/cuttin...ufc-champ-henderson-fights-future-move-to-170

And heres a source for GSP being up to 195lbs: http://www.bjjee.com/nutrition/georges-st-pierres-diet-plan-how-you-can-adapt-it-to-yourself/

You're such an idiot and you do not even realize it. First, your source has no facts about GSP, it's someone making a statement with nothing to back it up. I sourced straight from GSP's camp he was 185 at that time in camp. He cut from 185, not north of 190, I sourced it. Then, YOUR SOURCE says Henderson cut from NORTH OF 190 to make 155, so how the hell are you saying GSP is bigger, when YOUR SOURCE says Henderson cuts from over 190 moron?
Henderson said he cuts from “a little too much” to make the 155-pounds-on-the-dot required as champion of the lightweight class. How much, he doesn’t say. The impression he gives is severe, like he’s starting from north of 190 pounds.
Take your own advice about dishonesty.

Second, you proved me right, if only you were not too stupid to realize it.
In this respect, 2009 marked an inflection point. That year, after successfully defending his Welterweight title in his second fight against BJ Penn, GSP hired Dr. John Berardi of Precision Nutrition to help him gain lean muscle tissue and improve his recovery abilities.

In the next 8 weeks, GSP gained approximately 12 pounds of lean muscle and bulked up to 195 pounds. His upgraded speed and power helped him to dominate every subsequent opponent, posting a 5-0 record since 2009.
YOUR source says GSP was 183 for the BJ Penn 2 fight. That means for the first 20 of GSP's 27 fights (75% of his fights) GSP was in the LOW 180's. EXACTLY as I said. That is incredibly small for a WW. GSP can "bulk up" to 195, but he does not TRAIN OR FIGHT at 195, that is someone using GSP's name as marketing material. Nowhere does that say GSP cuts from 195 for fights. I posted from GSP's camp what he trained at, 185.

Hendricks can bulk up to 220+, what does that have to do with what weight he trains at or cuts from or is on fight night?

Answer: Nothing.

Thanks for providing a source citing that GSP used to be 183, in the LOW 180's, EXACTLY as I said.
 
Silva won every round. At some point Nick needed to change his strategy, or lose. He didn’t. So Silva just continued winning the fight. That’s Nick’s fault.
That's how I see it.
 
For years the Diaz brothers have fought not to get finished in fights where their opponent don't fight exactly as they want.
