WALK THE WALK GEORGES LAD!

LEGEND.

I see groundnpound's got a Condit Sub prediction down, thats a bold move considering he's not won via submission for going on 5 years, Hendricks is a div 1 wrestler.

I can't wait for the GSP v Diaz fight. I think GSP will fight the same as he did when he won the title back off Matt Serra, he'll go at a ferocious pace & mix up standing & ground throughout. Diaz will either have to match the pace or slow it down to his perpper pot punching style. It'll be interesting to see what happens when GSP takes it to the ground.

Having watch the press conference I can't help but laugh at Diaz, he reminds me some what of some interviews I've seen of Muhammad Ali, where he just takes over. He should get his own talk show.

You and me both lad. Although, I don't know why a Diaz fan would be looking forward to it...

Think the Condit fight will end up on the deck mate... Hendricks is so close to a title shot that I don't think he'll risk being ko'd. Condit's brilliant off his back and although Hendricks has the wrestling I can see Condit getting hold of something and submitting him.

Come on Georges lad!

I'm pumped for this PPV!!! I genuinely hope GSP puts the beating of a lifetime on that runt Diaz!! Come on Georges!!!

GSP is pure class. An absolute UFC Legend. 10 Title Defences on the bounce now.

Another dominant defence, taking every round again. Takedowns, then firing down elbows and punches, wearing Diaz down was always gonna be the plan for the early rounds. On the feet he kept Diaz's boxing at bay with the trademark GSP jab. Loved it when Diaz tried to trash talk and Georges just pinged him with a superman punch for his cheek! There was a point in the 4th round for about a minute I thought Diaz looked dangerous when he rattled off a decent combination, 3 or 4 punches in a row getting through. The fight was on the feet most of that round, the exchanges were just about even for me. Georges ended the fight like he started it, on top firing down punches and elbows, 50-45 on every card.

The last thing he said to Diaz before he left the cage was "Keep your head up Nick, you'll be back". After everything Diaz had said over the past couple of years I thought that was pretty special.

Diaz surprised me with his post fight behaviour, credit to the lad for that.

Condit v Hendricks was fucking epic. here it is for those that missed it.

GSP v Hendricks will be very interesting given Hendricks knowing Condit has the power to finish the fight still flew forward. GSP will have his work cut out with the takedown skill of Hendricks too. One point I did notice was even against a puncher Hendricks was happy to leave his defence wide open.
It'll be interesting to see if GSP can control Hendricks the way he did Condit. I can't help but feel this may just be the greatest test of the champs career, even if we get a Matt Serra situation the rematch may not go the same way as it did back then. Great fight & I can't wait for it.

I thought it was a very poor showing from Nick Diaz, he showed no desire to attack at all, he pretty much said after the first two rounds he knew he wasn't gonna win. Even when on the feet he had many a time when he could've gone forward but didn't look interested, you should never go into a fight with your mind already made up about your career especially a title fight.

GSP's athleticism was always gonna win him this fight. I just hope he get's back to the start with his stand up, rather then using wrestling as his primary weapon.

Here's the post event press conference, it doesn't look good for Diaz.


I can see why he fought the way he did after hearing him in the press conference, he seems like a tortured soul.

On a serious note I think the UFC need to start advising fighters with regards to money rather than just leaving them to it, Diaz reminds me some what of Gazza, someone who's got a great talent but lacks the academic knowledge for the taxes & so on. It sound like his managment team are only botherd about getting payed. I hope it was just another Diaz moment for the cameras or he'll be in serious shit, that probably goes for Nate as well.

The UFC need to set up something like the PFA (Professional Footballers Association) to help out fighters like Nick Diaz, Chris Leben, Evan Tanner etc etc.
