Hopefully he'll come in around -200 and Kj noons will be +145 or somewhere in that region. I will be cashing in on KJ Noons and all the Diaz followers will be scratching their heads, wondering what the hell happened.
Many MMA fighters delude themselves into thinking they are world class strikers and they choose to stand with notably better strikers and wake up on the canvas.
Diaz will follow the same fate.
I still have to laugh at the notion of, "Diaz is awesome striker!!
With what? those loopy punches and those shoe shining strikes?
And other funny notion is, "Oh my God!!! nick diaz threw 200 strikes in that round alone!!!"
Who the fu*k cares? that means he isn't very accurate and his shots aren't very effective.
Examine his fight stance...he leaves himself wide open all the time. KJ Noons with this boxing background will expose this rather quickly and effectively.
But again, I would just like to thank all of you Nick Diaz fans who think, "Nick Diaz is hard core and gangsta" and believe he will prevail because of this.
