yeah joe, nick diaz is 'smart'

[willie]

haha it's smart as in explaining to your 7 year old that "people are smart in different ways"

it'd be hard to say that nick isn't smart in regards to some things.

he also tactically gets in guys heads. The Frank Shamrock quote paraphrased obv - you just can't believe this guy is standing in front of you calling you bitch and then punching you.

as far as passing a standardized exam though, diaz ain't down with the tricks that test is puttin out there.

I think Condit is an underdog vs 6 people at WW. GSP, Fitch, Kos, Shields, Diaz, Rory then he would be around even odds with Ellenberger, Alves, Hendricks. I can't remember a champ being a not being a clear favorite over 1 person in the top 10.

you should get ur head examined

What's with all the talk of water from the Diaz corner? I know there has been controversy over putting grease/vaseline on guys to make them slippery, but water?

Isn't it common for fighters to have water sprayed and poured over their heads in the corner? I doubt water makes them much more slippery anyway, they are covered in sweat from fighting as it is.

No, not a top 3 fight on that card.

Top two though.

DO, make a goat list for WW or LW. Please include Koscheck to make it heated.

Off the top of my head, I'm pretty sure I'd put Koscheck in the top ten WW of all time, but let me actually make a real list. Be back in 20-30 minutes.

[pageh656]

well even if our sheep answer of nick diaz was wrong danny ocean is confirmed correct answer

I enjoyed 2 fights on the undercard more. Most people only care about circumstances though.

That guy who came out on all 4 and got soccer kicked posted on the UG. Heres a great snippet:

"Chad Sermon - Yes it was me that got kicked I was not taking advantage of a rule ."

In no particular order
1. Sonnen vs Silva
2. Reem Dos Santos
3. Dias GSP

[rubbrband]

Anyone think the Diaz GSP fight would be more significant of GSP loses to Condit and it's for a title shot?

[Kirbynator]

1- sonnen silva

2- reem dos santos

3- edgar bendo

4- Diaz gsp (if it ever happens)

5- rashad jones
