Gill calls out Daley.

Word up to Gilbert. Willing to fight at 165 or even 170. Wether u think he is true elite 155 or not, u have to love his desire to fight meaningful fights.

Props for wanting to fight Daley, but SF loves non-divisional fights.

It most instances it's the fighters that want the fights.

IDK about that, plus Orgs usually makes the fight which make the most sense, not always the ones the fighters want. But yes, there have been a lot of non-divisional fights made.

Unless you're a scared guy named Diaz.

I like it. But Daley wouldn't take this fight, he knows that he'll get beat by guys that will take him down.

MMAEyes called it! No wrestlers for Daley.

Gilbert Melendez has called me out. Says he'll fight at 170lbs. I'm down, but i know i will get negative feedback from the MMA Media for fighting a Lightweight...again, despite having KO/TKO'd 2 middleweights in my past 3 fights (Acacio and Smith). So still we have a problem, what i want is another fight in between fighting Diaz, a fight that makes sense and qualifies me, for fighting for the Strikeforce WW title.

Now in your opinion which fight "Qualifies" me more for fighting Diaz.

NOONS- Beat current ww champ (recently lost by decision to champ)

CYBORG- Biggest name in SF WW Division on winning last few fights at WW.

MELENDEZ- Current SF LW Champ

CUNG LE-Catchweight- Biggest media name/draw at SF, Lost to Scott Smith.

Translation- I can't fight a guy that will take me down cause I'll lose, I gotta keep fighting guys that will stand with me so I can maintain this hype I've built.

which in truth Im cool with. Im not that into seeing a wrestler control his way to a UD. SF should match Daley with a striker.

Daley also scared of Diaz - that also would result in Daley getting dump on his back a getting submitted. That's why Daley called out Noons and not Nick. Like Coker said - wouldn't a man who's gunning for the title call out the champion not the guy who just lost to the champ. for the first time in a while i would have to agree with coker. sadly if gil was to fight daley and take him down all daley will do is hold on a hug instead of fighting back off his back or trying to grab a limb. its mma and dude need to fight were ever the fight takes place. if this was to be a 5 round fight i dont think gil would be scared of getting subbed by daley therefore i could see gill subbing him by the 5th once daley has had enough,is tired and is fustrated of being one dimentional.

And since when does Diaz put guys on there back?

Whatever, I don't deny that Kos is a better MMA fighter. But who would I rather watch fight? Daley, no question.

i would prefer kos. win or lose kos puts on a fight or so he has in the last few years. daley just lays there.

you right, nick doesnt put them on thier back but why wouldnt daley not want to fight him really. also i was saying 5 round this way at least you get a finish. even in the ufc ppvs i hate it when main event that arent title fights only last 3 rounds. had they been 5 rounds most would of likely been finishes instead of 3 round dec

All Daley is saying is that he wants to build his name, by fighting one more fight b4 fighting Nick. Wanting one more fight b4 fighting nick ='s scared of Nick? Not seeing it. Not when he's saying he wants Nick after the next fight.



And as far as the 5 rnd fight vs Gil, it just ain't happening.
