TUF 5 Finale: Submissions key to Diaz-Gamburyan fight?

I like the words thrown around by Nate if what he says is true about Manny getting subbed by guys that couldn't sub Nate then he is screwed in that ground game. I also don't see him winning the stand-up either. He is too short and Nate's reach will be a factor plus Nate trains with his brother Nick Diaz that mans loves to brawl and being brothers I am sure they "throw" sometimes. Anyway nice little article about the fight.

sworddemon has a little shameless behaviour in the past
I think Nate's gotta submit him. It's the only way I can see him winning. I can't see him overpowering and ground-and-pounding Manny into a ref stoppage. I think Manny's just too strong for Nate. I like Nate waaaay more, and I hope he wins, but I just don't see it happening in a stand up war.

I would say Manny and Maynard have about the same strength and we saw what Nate did to Maynard. Not to mention Maynard had a GnP than Manny could ever dream of having.

I think Diaz has the better submiession skills, but manny is not new the submission game himself,(unlike Maynard). I dont see many getting subbed, i think Diaz has a better chance of knocking him out, if he doesnt than manny wins by decision.
