GSP's camp thinks Diaz should be next in line

Quote :

"I think Diaz is the guy who deserves it most," Zahabi said. "His fight with Carlos (Condit) was so close. Who knows? People judge it both ways.

"[Diaz is] the guy who is the Strikeforce champion. He climbed up the ladder all the way. Johny deserves it very much, but Diaz has been there longer and done more fights and has bigger wins.

"If you want to be really fair about it, he is the guy who beat the most amount of names in the biggest fights."

But Diaz couldn't win the fight he needed to to fight GSP after he squandered his big chance. GSP sounds like an idiot suggesting a guy coming off a loss a self imposed year vacation should be challenging for his title.

Like mentioned in the article, that's up for debate. I'm far from alone in thinking Nick absolutely won that fight. Carlos literally turned around and ran away at points during the "fight".

Diaz could drop an upper decker in your moms bathroom and you'd have his back.

It's more then just Diaz supporters that think he won that fight. It's pathetic how Carlos was rewarded for that type of fight.

Diaz didn't get it done. He needs to go beat Rory or Hendricks or string together a kampmann and ellenberger wins to earn a shot.

Even being a Diaz supporter. I would say Johnny should get his shot first. I guess out of who is available Ellenberger would make sense. Too bad we can't have Nick vs Nate Marquardt. Would be a fun matchup.

Reading some old threads on it, funny stuff.

KA-POW!

Actually rewatched that Condit-Diaz fight around Thanksgiving. That fight took a lot of shit for no reason. Condit had a perfect gameplan and made Diaz look like an ordinary fighter. It was a great performance

Did you also enjoy the masterful performance Guida put on Maynard? Yeah he was totally robbed...

lolz

My rage for the fight has grown since then. Watching Carlos vs GSP just made it worse. I had so much respect for him a fighter. He clearly doesn't fight with the same mentality anymore.

Carlos Condit, one of the ultimate finishers, is now one of the fighters that tries to work the scoring system. The aggressive fighter spends way too much time in reverse now. It's more then not respecting him. I hate him.

biiiii_iiiiiiter larry.

I hate him. Sooo much. I'd pull a Tonya Harding and end his career in a heart beat. Bat to the knee.

I am still down for the fight.

Diaz vs. Hendricks as a co-main to GSP vs. Silva.

I always thought Ellenbeger would be the perfect foil for a comeback fight for Diaz.

I think Nick murks Jake. I'm more scared of Rory.

I am also still down for Diaz vs. Silva.

"We're pushing for the GSP fight," Gracie said during an appearance on 'The MMA Hour,' per MMAFighting.com. "That's what we're going to push for, GSP or Anderson Silva. That's the two fights that interest us the most, and that's the one's we're going for. … [Silva's] people are into it. We're into it. The fans, I think, would be into it. We've got to convince Dana [White] about it now."

What a bunch of losers.. I blame chale Sonnen for the whole "i don't have to win to get big fights" mentality that is making this sport less a sport and more a casual WWE dag fest. It's no shock a selfish little immature bitch like diax would follow suit.

I don't think you will have to worry about Diaz talking his way into a title shot. Ceaser might try to talk Diaz into a title shot but they don't have the WWE act down enough to get the idiot following they need.

The group that stomped on someone in the cage after a fight was over doesn't have the WWE act down?

Reminded me of the NWO braj

That wasn't an act. Wasn't scripted. It's not like your boys rehearsed commentary. Chael's bread and butter isn't wrestling, it's annoying, scripted WWEish smack talk.
