    Diaz got dropped by Zaromskis. I think Daley has a good chance here. Diaz is too proud to shoot.

    This is what the fukk I'm talkin about. Can't wait. You called it exactly omalley. I said after diaz last fight that if semtex hits him with those bombs, he will go out. Diaz takes too many clean shots. And he's too macho to take it to the ground right away. He could finish in 1 minute if he wanted to. But he will stand and trade anyway. Guys defensive philosophy is to block punches with his face.

    Paul has a better chance of making weight than he does of beating Nick Diaz.

    Someone should post odds on whether the loser scum shots the winner after the fight. Both of these are prime candidates to do something retarded.

    Diaz isn't scum. Hes just dumb. He's a true warrior though. A fighters fighter. He's looking to finish fights. He goes out of his way to fight the other guy in their strength.

    Also he has an incredible chin, in part due to his cardio which is the best in mma. Daley will probably drop him and rush in to finish and get caught in an armbar because he's used to people going out when they get hit that hard. Diaz will get dropped but far from KO'd.

    Diaz is the better fighter but he just doesn't fight smart and utilize his best skill, BJJ. He's going to stand with Daley and get hurt real bad.

    Nick Diaz, contrary to popular belief isn't a world class striker. It's average at best and very sloppy. Zaromoksis hurt him, KJ Noons had he cut his ******* hair would have won their 2nd fight, and Santos was tagging him quite frequently.

    Daley is a better striker than the ones mentioned above and has insane power.

    Daley will get the TKO/KO

    Nobody that has ever watched him fight, says he's a world class striker. He is just long, and un-orthodox. Don't discount his un-orthodoxness. That makes all the difference in the world.

    Average striking at best? Maybe if you are comparing his striking to pro boxers, but in MMA his striking is much better than average and he has one of the sturdiest chins in all of MMA.

    I highly doubt Daley will TKO/KO him. I think Diaz will take it into the championship rounds and out point or sub him.

    i've learned long ago to never count on a fighter's chin. nogueira had never been knocked out before and was a 3 to 1 favorite against mir when they met. he got KOed. people said he was sick for that fight. then nogeuira got KOed again by cain. people said brock had a great chin after withstanding the onslaught of carwin. that's what i thought too. then he KOed by cain.

    styles makes fights. daley lost against koscheck because he's a great wrestler and lost the decision. can diaz take daley down? i'm not sure diaz's wrestling is good enough to be honest. daley's striking is way better and has more power than any fighter diaz has faced. this fight stays standing for long and diaz is getting ktfo.

    I would assume Daley would open at around +160 and Diaz at -200.

    How can you be so confident with your pick? Not disagreeing with you. This fight to me can go both ways. Good luck though. Might as well go for Daley by ko/tko. Prolly be +300 or better.

    Cannot wait for the Diaz/Daley fight. I don't think Diaz will be looking for the submission one bit. He is the proudest MMA fighter out there today. He will be looking to prove a point. Expect what you normally see out of him - solid, soft punches for every single second of the fight. Like the others, Daley will eventually wear down and probably get tko'd.

    On a side note, why do they keep feeding Mousasi cans? Seems like most of his fights are against old/washed up guys who are not at the same level he is. One of the more talented guys in the game right now.
