Not sure if I missed any action but it sounds like Nick did not have too much trash talk for Anderson. It's hard for me to believe that fight will take place in less than two weeks.
Maybe Nick matured a bit during his time off and that he is now more like Jake Shields, more focused on the sport and less on the drama.
Maybe it's just respect as well. Diaz knows that Andy is a bigger name than him in the MMA food chain and that trying to "get under his skin" could turn plenty of folks of.
Can't wait to see what "Old Man Andy" still has to show us.
It's a great fight for Andy as Diaz is smaller and does not represent much of a threat on the ground as Andy is himself no slouch in BJJ. What's left will be a standing battle. Since Nick is all boxing no kicks (to speak of), that means that Andy should have plenty of opportunity to test his "new leg."
Diaz said that Condit had "baby kicks", can't wait to see what his conclusions will be when Andy tests his leg on him.
Any thoughts on Diaz calmer attitude?
