Evans is an overrated 1 trick no talent arrogant fool. Jon Jones will beat the snot out of him.
Crocop retired and Penn says he's done fighting because he's expecting a child.
Oooooooooooooeee. Diaz just won't keep his mouth shut. After dodging GSP, he runs his mouth after beating a washed up Penn, saying "I wasn't at 100%. If the fight was 5 rounds, I would have finished Penn in the 4th round". AND "GSP isn't hurt, he's scared to fight me" Apparently GSP freaked out and called Diaz the most disrespectful person he's ever met and he's going to give him a serious asswhooping!!!

Diaz is quickly becoming the Floyd Mayweather of MMA. That dude is so quick to talk shit, and hesitant to fight top notch guys while in their prime. His punk ass will do the dumbest shit in order to get out of fighting as the days get closer, like not show up to the weigh-in or fucking disappear altogether. What's sad is, like Floyd, Diaz is very talented... he's just a punk.
"Dodging GSP"??? "Hesitant to fight top notch guys"??? What are you two talking about???
Diaz didn't dodge GSP, Dana White took the fight away from him because he didn't show up to a press conference. GSP injured his knee anyway and didn't even end up fighting last night.
As for Diaz not fighting "top notch" guys, considering he has been out of the UFC for 5 years, he has been running over tough guys who aren't in the UFC. Robbie Lawler (who's a middleweight), Takanori Gomi (who was considered to be a top 3 lightweight at the time), Paul Daley, Scott Smith, and others. He's on an 11 fight win streak, during which he has been destroying his opponents. He just beat the shit out of BJ Penn, who is not "washed up", considering he just fought Jon Fitch to a draw, and KO'd Matt Hughes in 20 seconds.
Nick Diaz isn't anything like Floyd Mayweather either. Diaz doesn't constantly brag about how great he is and how much money he has like mayweather does. Diaz does talk trash and he does say some idiotic things sometimes, but he is fairly humble most of the time.
As for Diaz saying GSP is "scared to fight him", he is probably right. GSP can't strike with Diaz. GSP is just going to use his wrestling in order to hold Diaz down, stay on top, and do enough to win a decision. GSP isn't going to do anything more than that. He doesn't fight to finish people. If GSP can't blanket Diaz and hold him down the whole fight then Diaz is going to beat him.
Ok Ok. Dodging, purposefully missing press conferences, one after the other, after Dana White warns him....same thing. Basically what I'm trying to say is, Diaz needs to man the fuck up, put his money where his mouth is, quit crying about press conferences and fight GSP. It's simple. He had a chance to fight GSP and threw it away, then he wants to say GSP is scared? :1orglaugh
Diaz is a weirdo. He said he didn't even know it was a press conference. Plus he apparently has "issues" with anxiety and doesn't like doing press and being the center of attention. I seriously doubt he skipped the press conference because he wanted to get out of the fight with GSP. He's been talking about fighting GSP for years. And Diaz has never not shown up to a fight.
As for GSP, FUCK HIM! He is boring as shit. He doesn't fight to finish people, he fights to win decisions. He lays on people. He knows that if he spends the majority of the fight laying on top of his opponent that the judges will score the fight his way. I fall asleep watching him fight. He makes me sorry I spent money on PPV fights that he is on. If he actually tried to really fight Diaz, instead of wrestling him, he would lose. Plain and simple.

What about 'jumped out of a window and ran' is difficult to grasp? Diaz literally did this on the day of the weight after his trainer had to track him down. Who has Diaz ever fought that wasn't over the hill or brutally knocked out? One can argue KJ Noons, but he isn't even UFC level.
Penn: Long been finished
Daley: Been smashed on a few occasions
Santos: Wounded warrior, and even he kicked Diaz's ass before he gassed out.
Sakurai: I could beat him nowadays
Before that Zaromskis, Scott Smith, Frank Shamrock, 'Wildman' Denny... GET FUCKING REAL!!! What makes you think he's ready for GSP who has been BEATING top comp while Diaz has been slumming it. Diaz is shook and he needs to stop running from Jason Miller before he should even be considered for GSP. The only time you confronted Mayhem is when you Gilbert Melendez and your brother with you on some punk shit. Diaz needs to sit the fuck down and keep GSP's name out his mouth, especially when he ain't gonna do shit.
BJ Penn has not "long been finished". You sir, are a fucking moron. BJ is a lightweight who just fought the number 2 welterweight in the world to a draw (arguably beat him) just a few months ago. He still probably ranks in the top 3 at 155 and could arguably be considered a top 10 welterweight as well.
As for Diaz not fighting Miller, C'mon dude, Miller is a middleweight. Diaz is much smaller than him. I'm sure if Miller would cut to 170, and the UFC would be willing to make the fight happen, then Diaz would fight him. But Diaz isn't going to fight Miller at 185. If he did, Miller would have a 30 pound weight advantage over him by the time they fought.
As for GSP, fuck him. He is almost as boring to watch as Jon Fitch. He doesn't fight, he stalls. He holds people down and stalls the action. Then the dumbass judges score the rounds for him because he stays on top the whole time. If Diaz can stay off of his back when they fight then GSP will get TKO'd. He can't match Diaz's pace for 5 rounds. And we all know GSP doesn't have a good chin.
Dude, seriously... Penn's last significant win came in 2009. He beat a way over the hill Matt Hughes and everything else since the Diego fight has been a loss or a draw, but I'm a moron? Be for real.
And say what you want about the pace and style GSP fights, but he wins with it. You must be sick if you think Diaz is gonna make it to the 5th round giving up as may strikes as Penn and Santos were able to hit him with. BTW, why are you conveniently ignoring the fact that GSP murdered a much fresher and better BJ Penn, while Diaz went the distance with a Penn ready for retirement.
Like I said, look who GSP is beating and look who Diaz is beating. GSP is beating the likes of Shields, Koscheck, Alves, and Hardy... the best fighters out. Diaz is beating the all-has-been team.
We'll see. Diaz actually fights. He looks to finish people and does. GSP just throws jabs and lays on people so he can win on points.
You're a front-running mma fan. GSP is the champ so you like him. BJ Penn isn't the champ anymore so you think he sucks. You don't give him any credit at all for facing the best fighters out there and for stepping up to fight the top guys in a heavier weight class. He lost twice to Frankie Edgar by close decision, and he fought a MUCH bigger fighter in Jon Fitch to a draw. Yet you shit all over him and call him washed up. Then you have the nerve to call Thiago Alves and Dan Hardy "the best fighters out". Hardy is on a 4 fight losing streak and has never beaten anyone worth mentioning besides Mike Swick. Hardy never should've gotten a title shot in the first place. And Thiago has lost 3 out of 4, the last one to Rick fucking Story for gods sake.
And what makes you think that Diaz won't make it to the 5th round with GSP? GSP hasn't finished anyone in years. He couldn't even finish Dan Hardy and he fucking sucks. Diaz is WAAAAAY better than Dan hardy.
I think where Fox failed is that they didn't show the undercard, they hyped it up, and then the fight sucked. Props to Dos Santos, though!
