Sure hope (merger thoughts)

[SixFive]

My prediction of GSP vs Diaz in 2011 with Diaz of course getting the belt comes true! Sure has a lot more of a chance now. Hope gsp/shields isn't a manhump fest though! Hopefully GSP can finish him for a change!

GSP Diaz had better happen before Anderson silva/cung le :facepalm: as Mauro or Frank suggested! They r delusional to think cung le can even get close to sniffing spider's jock!

If Melendez gets a shot, I hope he gets choked out in the first minute. Can't stand that little toad.

Would enjoy seeing that tool mayhem get smoked in the UFC as well!

Mebbe Fedor can mix it up too with somebody good? How about Fedor/Carwin? That would b entertaining!

I think the Diaz GSP fight could happen. It would be interesting to see if Diaz could use his length and jab to keep GSP at a safe distance and avoid TDs. I doubt he could but at this point I don't think anyone else could either.

Looks like Fedor might be fighting Hendo. IMO he toys with Hendo. I hope they can convince Fedor to drop down. I believe his manager said he only weighs 223 or so right now. That's not just a small HW, that's a small LHW.

isn`t it funny...dana hates wrestling and guys that win decisions by taking other guys down and grinding out decisions....

yet.one of his biggest stars has basically morphed into a lay n` pray-er(and gets a pass because of his nationality).....

so now he needs a guy he hates from what was a rival organization to drum up some excitement in the division...

irony abounds,.....

Nick Diaz hasn't fought anyone in Top 10 since 2007

The GSP fight will never happen.......Diaz has to fight top guys first.

A guy like Fitch would maul Diaz.


Melendez is a fucking asshole....but damn good. Unlike Diaz, he deserves a shot at a top 5 guy.


King Mo versus Rampage would be my selection for fight to watch





By the way if Aldo gets by the Canuck in Toronto the only guy on the planet that has a shot at beating Aldo is Hioki. And he ain't under the Zuffa banner.

I think he gets a pass because of his fan base. If people are willing to pay to watch him make sweet love to someone on the ground, I don't think dana gives damn.

Fitch is a wrestler who they have I feel they have screwed over because he puts on boring fights.

Why is Hioki worthy of a title fight when he hasn't fought anyone in the top ten. :shrug:

 

[The Sponge]

Diaz just wiped out a guy (Daley)who was in line for a title shot and beat him in one round. The UFC number one contended took Daley to a three round decision and LnP him the whole fight :shrug:

 

[kickserv]

I went back at looked, Hioki has fought 4 guys in Top 10 since 2007.

Diaz hasn't fought anyone in Top 10.......ya gotta fight the best to be the best.

Nick doesn't deserve GSP......he is 4 fights away from earning a shot at GSP.

As stated earlier....Fitch would maul Diaz.

Why does he have to fight Fitch? Serra didn't. Neither did Shields or the cocky Britt who recently lost to him. Kosh either :shrug:

i think we`re saying the same thing....

http://sports.yahoo.com/top/news?slug=ycn-7433366

i`m not slamming gsp...when i first saw him...the very first time...i thought he might be the best raw athlete in all mma....you just knew he was gonna be special....

i`m talking about over the last few years...he`s not the same well-rounded dynamo that he used to be...seems like every fight has the same pattern...take a guy down...and grind him out....3 of his last 4 went to decision...

i honestly think that white`s mgmt style might have the exact opposite effect that he wants it to on certain fighters.......

he wants tough man fights while at the same time axing guys that lose(sometimes after one fight)...theres a contradiction there...of course,gsp is in no fear of being let go regardless of what happens....i`m talking about up and comers...and guys on the periphery...

i think that instead of coercing guys into throw-downs,it makes some take the safest road to a win(in spite of the bonuses)....

maybe i`m wrong...just a thought...

You may be right but GSP has dealt with every contender in the division, and Diaz is the current champ at another promotion and the only guy he hasn't fought at 170.

I hope they get this fight set up quick, if Diaz has to go through 4 fights first, the matchup will be in like 2 years if it happens.

I think announce this one soon, Diaz has absolutely nobody at strikeforce to fight and the fans want to see it. I don't think Dana wants to waste this opportunity like he wasted fedor.

This just in from the news wire.........

"GSPs entrance song vs Shields will be Marvin Gaye, Let's Get it On."

Diaz can't win as far as your concerned, Kyle. U said he ducked Mayhem... Well, if he fought him, then you'd still be saying he hasn't fought anybody in the to 10! I would say the majority of MMA fans want to see Diaz, and they want to see him contend for the UFC belt against GSP. It's as obvious as the nose on Theisman's face. It needs to happen.

Kick wants Nick to run the gaunlet and fight four of the ufc WW before he gets a shot at GSP. :mj07: Now out of the other side of his mouth Honki can walk right into the UFC and get a title shot. KIck likes Hnoki. Kick doesn't like Nick. God forbid if Nick ever beats GSP. Not sure how Kick would ever handle it. Dana isn't stupid. He might make Nick fight one guy like he made Shields and that is it. To much money to be made.

 

[kickserv]

I'd love to see GSP versus Diaz.......all as I am saying is that he doesn't deserve it.

Get through Kos, Fitch, Alves, BJ Penn, Condit, etc and then he deserves it.

Diaz doesn't even deserve to eat the nuts out of GSP's shit let alone fight him.

When you haven't fought anyone in Top 10 since 2007 you sure as fuck don't deserve a title shot in the UFC.

Then why do u say Hioki would :mj07:

 

[kickserv]

Sponge....as I said I'd love to see see GSP fight Nick....love it. Nick would get toyed with. GSP toys with everybody he fights. Nick would be no different.

And as I said above, Hioki has fought top competition, Nick has not.

Nick fought top ten guys at a time when they were top ten. Lawler was a top ten guy. Who did Hioki fight that was top ten when he fought them? U can't call a guy top ten when they fought five years ago and nobody heard of them. Just cause they are top ten now doesn't mean they were back then

 

[kickserv]

Check your stats again Sponge.

Nick has not fought anyone in Top 10 since 2007.

But as I said I'd love to see GSP fight Nick.


I mean Fitch would maul Diaz.......absolutely maul him.
