mark munoz wins. gave some nasty blows to chris leben and shuts out lebens eye. and calls out anderson silva. i hope nick diaz learns a thing or two in giving apt courtesy to titleholders.

 

dw shouldnt gave him the title shot. there are other tough fighters in the division he hasnt fought. he hasnt faced for instance carlos condit. josh koscheck who everyone knows is a bad ass mother fcker. or maybe dan hardy, the hard nosed brit who loves a brawl too much. jake shields? thiago alves? and the list goes on. dw gave him the title shot because he strutted around the octagon cussing out load on gsp? thats disgusting.

 

kudos to condit for accepting the koscheck fight after being bumped off in the title fight against gsp.

 

So why did Dana give Nick Diaz a title shot? Well, you can't disregard the fact that he has an 11 fight winning streak, that he is the Strikeforce welterweight champion, and when he gets in the ring, he's there to fight and put on a show for the fans. He may not have fought the UFC bad asses that were mentioned, but those he fought aren't nobodys. He may be a total ass but that's just the same Nick Diaz that everybody knew. Was it because of the cussing and strutting? I totally disagree. He came in there and proved that he can put on an exciting fight and be a threat to GSP.

yes he is the strikeforce welterweight champion. but thats strikeforce. hes paid his dues there. has he paid his dues in the ufc? does that one fight automatically qualify him as the number one contender and bump off carlos condit outright? he gets a title shot after a single fight in the ufc after being away for what? hmm, 4 years. yes you read it right, 4 long years.

 

you said he came in there and put on an exciting fight and be a threat to gsp? what?? him all of a sudden a threat with just a single fight after being away for four years? exciting? yeah in a way especially with the way he ran his mouth. no offense meant to his skills but clearly a title shot this early? cmon. if my arguments arent valid then dana white is a god.

 

just the same let me ask you bro, what if carlos condit (remember he said he wont fight anyone and wait for gsp whos injured until he got bumped off) didnt accept the koscheck fight and invoke his number conterder slot, what do you do with him now? after all he is the number contender before gsp got injured. do u just bump him off because here comes nick diaz after a four year long absence from ufc and gave bj penn a beating?

UFC this week on Fox. Dos Santos vs Velasquez. Dos Santos has great boxing, but Cain is a good wrestler. What do you thinks?

 

Co-main event is Clay Guida vs Henderson.

 

I'm picking JDS in the main. Too long of a layoff for Cain, and though he should be able to take Junior down, he'll have to eat some shots in doing so. Dos Santos showed the ability to avoid getting taken down, and avoid serious power shots in the Shane Carwin fight while delivering some great fistic striking of his own (and yeah, I'm a believer of the Iron Sharpens Iron Philosophy, so him being in the same camp as Silva, Nog, and all the Black House folks counts for something).

 

Henderson in the co-main. More versatile and he should also have the cardio to keep up with Guida for three rounds. Maybe I'm just biased and just not a fan of Clay's lay and pray style (like in the Pettis fight), but Smooth should have greater prowess in each aspect as well as a good size advantage to negate Clay Guida's pace.

Yes, with his credentials and that fight with Penn. That qulifies him to become the number one contender. I'm not saying that Condit doesn't deserve the shot, what I'm saying is Dana White's decision is as valid as your argument. A title shot this early, you say. Why not? Dana did the same thing for Jake Shields who had a lackluster UFC debut against Kampmann. The difference between their post Strikeforce fight is that Nick won decisively. The fight being exciting? Definitely, yes. Both men came to fight and slug it out. You can see that they've been in a war, looking at their faces after the fight.

 

As for Condit, hats off to him for being a man for the business. I don't think he'll act like a spoiled brat for Dana taking the shot from him. Diaz didn't just bump off Condit, he was the originally the number one contender before Condit. He didn't lose the contendership because he got beaten by someone, he lost it coz of his bonehead decision to ignore Dana and his manager.

thats my point. how could you make him the number contender after just one fight? same case as shields. so whats the use of ufc's ranking system and contendership all about if youre gonna be just bumped off easily as dana white pleases so? or tell me whats the use of fighting your heart out, rack up some wins and climb up the rankings if dana white will just give the fight to anyone he wants and likes?

 

i aint no gsp fan, a nick diaz hater, a carlos condit supporter. im a fight fan, and find not in good taste the system is being twisted and cute little politics are played but and a big but, if thats whats best for the ufc then its gsp and diaz on feb.

 

after all the gripes. im still a fan. no i mean were all fans. thanks.
