Hermes Franca double wrist control to an armbar on Diaz was fairly impressive. Too bad he ruined his life and the girls. He had talent.

I might sound like a Diaz fanboy right now, but how the hell did he not go completley out from that. He took like 20 GnP punches without getting KOed. I mean he could barley stand after it, but that was a ridiculous amount to absorb.

Also liked when the commentator said "Nope, he's still got his hands down" haha.

That is why I think Nick Diaz is a dark horse to be Anderson Silva. I know they'd never fight (Nick Diaz would take the fight but it'd never get set up) I'd choose him to beat Andy.

As weird as that sounds.. I know... but Nick Diaz doesn't go to sleep and he doesn't stop fighting at 100%. Nick Diaz is one guy who should have been KO'd many times but his chin holds under any pressure.

I don't expect anyone to agree with me, but if they ever fought, I'd choose Nick Diaz to win.

Nick Diaz is by a mile my all time favourite but I just couldn't agree. I'd LOVE the fight to happen, like would instantly be my favourite thing to see on TV of all time, but he keeps his hands WAY too low for Anderson. I mean he can take full force shots from Paul Daley, who is an animal at punching, but Anderson's timing and accuracy is the difference to me. He almost hits harder than anyone else because they are like 'critical hits'.

At the same time though, I still said that if you can't count out anyone, it's Nick. He'd go in expecting EVERY shot (Which is SO much easier to absorb than 'being caught') and his style really can't be counter punched against. He would just take a truck load coming in but theres a little image in the back of my head that sees Anderson caught against the cage and being battered. Forcing the fuk out of the image though haha.

WAR NICK!

I remember when it was posted, lots of people said they didn't want to see it. It's almost like, because they dislike Diaz, they'd prefer that he didn't even have a fight over seeing him get smashed. It's the opposite of the GSP thing. All of Diaz fans want the fight, even though pretty much all of us think Diaz would lose, while people say the only ones wanting the Anderson/GSP fight is Anderson fans because they think he would win.

I watched the whole fight not long ago and felt the same. A lot of people like to say that JDS and Anderson have amazing BJJ games, but I'm doubtful. I think JDS would struggle to get back on his feet, let alone go for a submission, if it went to the ground. I imagine that if they faught in an alternate universe, Nog would sub him if he managed to pull guard.
