UFC 158

[Fish Head]

Anyone else excited for this? GSP vs Diaz is long overdue. I hope GSP finishes him. I really don't care for the Diaz brothers at all, and Nick is definately the worst. Huge contrast in class. GSP has always been a total class act vs Diaz who shows no respect for anyone or anything. Condit-Hendricks should be a great fight too.

[JBMasterAngler]

I'll be up at LOW wait Anyway, he's gonna beat up diaz pretty good, to everyone's delight. The only thing that sucks about it though is diaz doesn't deserve this fight in the least bit! Condit-Hendricks winner definitely has to be #1 contender.

[Fish Head]

Small world- I'm leaving for LOTW tomorrow morning! GSP wanted this fight to hurt on Diaz. I'm looking forward to it. I assume if Hendricks wins, he will get the next shot. However there is always the chance of the GSP vs Anderson Silva superfight first.

[mrklean]

Have never been a Diaz fan but he has really grown on me im kinda sick of GSP and his fighting style all those Greg Jackson fighters are boring just trying to win by decision, at least Diaz wants to throw down.

[The Grebe]

I've been watching UFC since it's inception and have watched most of the fighters come up, including the Diaz brothers. They are alright with some of the fighters, but when they get in with a real hustler that doesn't fall for the Diaz game, look what happens.

In his last fight, Nate got hammered on the whole fight, he never won a round, never came close. When Nick fought Condit, he got his a$$ handed to him big time. GSP is abetter fighter then both of them and I believe he hits harder then either, thats just my opinion of course, but he's definately the better all around fighter. I think GSP will surprise everybody and choke Diaz out....I don't think Nick will tap though, he'll go to sleep. I think it's gonna be a good one though and I expect GSP to work Nick over from start to finish.

Now for the kicker....Just about all the fights I've called in the last 3-4 UFC fights, I got em wrong! Geeze.

[mainbutter]

Big stuff in motion for welterweights! I'm excited to see the outcome.

I'll be rooting for a GSP win, hope he brings some serious GNP.

[TwinkeeDink]

Thats just it, GSP hasn't brought the P in GNP for his last few fights. I get sick of watching him ride it out all the time.

[The Grebe]

I'm sure it had something to do with the people he fought? Condit isn't gonna lay there and let you hit em, thats for sure! And I would have to think that with those high caliber fighters, you don't want to be throwing caution to the wind and start flailing away, only to get your foot twisted around backwards several times, your arm bent to look like a crooked letter, or get choked until your head looks like an over ripe beet!

GSP has pretty good stand up and he hits hard enough? I'm looking to see some good action between those two because Diaz isn't gonna back up, thats for sure!

I think that GSP handled Condit pretty easy and I think that Condit handled Diaz pretty easily, so whats that tell ya? Nothin I would guess? Different fighters require different types of fight strategy.

Thats just it, GSP hasn't brought the P in GNP for his last few fights. I get sick of watching him ride it out all the time.

I think Carlos might disagree with you

[Fish Head]

I agree that George hasn't been finishing fights, but that fight with Condit was a great fight! Both fighters were beat up and bloody. I also agree that Jackson's camp seems to favor winning over exciting fights.

I think he is going to be very agressive with Diaz. He really wants to put a hurt on Nick and I hope he does.

I'm looking forward to Condit/Hendricks too. I like Hendricks, but he has never faught anyone as good as Carlos. I like both of these guys. I might give Carlos the edge? It should be exciting!

[TwinkeeDink]

agreed. i can't believe Diaz has been running his mouth like he has, though i shouldn't be surprised. I hope GSP does finish him

[JPenny]

Mr Diaz may have stuck his foot in his mouth this time. After suffering his beatdown, in the post fight press conference he states he has never paid taxes. Nothing like challenging Uncle Sam to a fight!

[mrklean]

another decision win by GSP the guy just doesn't impress me anymore is he awesome yea but hes to conservative would love to see a GSP vs Silva fight i don't see a decision there.

[TwinkeeDink]

right on mrklean. diaz is mentally unstable

[Fish Head]

I'm glad GSP won, but the Condit Hendricks fight was a better fight. Hendricks broke his hand in the 1st round. I think he has the best chance of beating GSP.

[mrklean]

If Hendricks stands up and tries to bang with GSP i would love to see that make the fight exciting

[JBMasterAngler]

Sounds like Ellenburger might be getting the next crack at GSP, especially if Hendricks is hurt.

[Fish Head]

Hendricks hand injury isn't real serious. He will be ready for the fight. I would say Ellenburger's next fight should be against Diaz, but who knows. Condit and Rory McDonald have unfinished business.

[JBMasterAngler]

I swear when the line up for UFC 158 1st came out a couple months ago, Condit was supposed to fight McDonald, and Hendricks was going to fight Ellenburger. I wonder what happened there?

As good as Rory McDonald might be, his 2 best wins are against blown up 155 pounders. I'd like to see him get a convincing win against a legit welterweight.

Assuming Diaz doesn't go to jail, I think the best matchup for him would be Dan Hardy. Should make for an exciting fight.

[Fish Head]

Rory hurt his neck during training and had to pull out of the fight, so Condit faught Hendricks and Marquart stepped up to fight Ellenburger.

BJ Penn.com is reporting that GSP faught with an injured achilles and was feeling sick the day of the fight.
