WOW! Huge 1st round KO at Bamma. Nick Diaz if you're watching you sure you wanna stand with this guy?!?

I cant believe he knocked him down twice just with jabs!

Diaz v Daley is gonna be great!

First Daley would have to make 170 though or he can forget about that title.

Anyway, many fighters have had "much better standup" than Nick and he beat them all. Daley is probably the best pure striker Nick will have faced recently, but also one of the worst grapplers. Nick has never really struggled against strikers. Usually it's the wrestlers that put him on his back and evade all submission attempts that beat him and I think it's going to stay that way.

Noons and Zaromskis both tagged Diaz a lot but neither have enough power to flash KO anyone. Daley most definitely does!!

Here's to hoping that Daley ko's Diaz and Dana "finds it in his heart" to give him a second chance in the UFC

Great event, Daley was sharp that was a great KO, Shirai was sparked. Always liked Paul's chances with Diaz because Diaz will try his luck in the stand-up.

Didn't he weigh in at 170,4? You can weigh in at 171 in Strikeforce and UFC right?
I don't know how to call this one though, it all depends on how smart Diaz is and how he acts inside the cage. Once it's down, Daley is finished but if Diaz tries to prove himself standing up, his eating some jabs and a left hook. Really a 50-50 fight, both have the ability to take this one.
