Who would you pick if your life depended on it. Don't be a homer!

If Nick Diaz was to fight any of these guys for a 5 round WW fight. Who would Nick beat, and who would he lose to?

Jake Shields
GSP
Condit
Hardy
Fitch
Kos
BJ Penn
Kampmann
Alves
Askren
Hughes
Daley

I wanted to include the guy Askren beat a few months ago, but I can't remember his name for anything. Help a brother out....

I went pretty basic, in that the wrestlers beat him, and the strikers do not.

the lone wrestlers I gave him a win over is Kos and Hughes.

I don't find that funny at all and I honestly didn't mean to do it. Askren isn't ready for a guy like Nick on the ground yet. Hardy is a toss up, but I don't think Nick and his jab would be able to pull off what CC did. Hughes could also be a toss up, but I don't think Matt would stand up with Nick because he knows he would be outclassed. He would take the fight to the ground. His ground game and strength are too good for Diaz to tap. Kampmann and Condit are just better imo, and the rest of the guys I really don't have to explain.

Nice adds with Heiron and Hornbuckle. I couldn't think of Hornbuckle's name at the time I posted this thread. That would be an awesome fight to watch imo. I would pick Diaz in both of those, but they would be tough fights.

I seriously believe that too. Only a couple that actually could beat Nick. Those include GSP, Kos, Fitch and Jake. BJ, Condit and Alves would be nice fights but fights I'm very confident Nick wins.

Jake Shields - tough call, but Ill go Nick
GSP - GSP

I would love to see Penn vs Diaz. BJ would whoop Diaz wherever the fight goes!

Jake Shields - Nick wins by the pace he sets. Late round stoppage because Shields would be exhausted
GSP - GSP wins because his shot would be too much for Nick eventually and GSP is very difficult to submit especially from the bottom
Condit - Nick takes this one probably by decision
Hardy - Nick wins either by submission or decision, Nick doesn't have the explosive one punch knockout style that Condit put on Hardy for a KO.
Fitch - Nick probably loses a positional battle where neither guy takes any damage. Decision.
Kos -Nick is the better striker, Koscheck is the better wrestler. Hard to say. This one goes to decision or nothing.
BJ Penn - The only guy so far on this list to have the ability to knock Nick out. If it's the BJ we just saw, BJ takes this one in similar fashion to Diaz/Noons 1.
Kampmann - Nick does him like Marquardt did, it'd just take longer.
Alves - Alves might take it due to his size and strength in striking if Nick can't find a way to Zaromskis him with a gameplan.
Askren - Nick just might sub him, maybe.
Hughes - Matt likely gets swarmed late and finished.
Daley - Daley gets taken down and submitted.

Someone's smoking some shit straight out of Nick's basement!!! The question wasn't if you thought he'd have a chance against them, but who you'd pick if your life depended on it...

I will accept this if you admit Diaz would get beat by Mayhem?
