jmog;1409599 wrote:No, watch it again, 2 or 3 minutes of each round was spent on the feet. Not just 1 minute. 12-13 minutes of the fight were on the feet and 12-13 were on the ground.

GSP out struck Diaz on the feet for those 12+ minutes as well.

GSP landed more power shots to the head, more power shots to the body, and they both had 2 power shots to the legs.

Biased opinion clouding your judgment?

I mean 54 power shots landed to 26.

Even when you sort it by standing only, GSP had 13 power shots landed to Diaz's 9.

You guys LOVE Diaz's "punches in bunches" and when he throws a crap ton of soft jabs, but when GSP lands a crap ton of standing "soft jabs" its no good?

Fightmetric says that GSP landed 32 power strikes on the ground, 24 to the head, 8 to the body. He landed 129 total strikes on the ground, that is 10 strikes per minute of ground fighting.

I know it sucks when your favorite fighter gets beat by someone you hate, but at least look up the facts of the fight before making incorrect claims.

105 power/sig strikes to 41, but Diaz "landed better strikes"?
210 total landed strikes to 80.

GSP landed more strikes to every part of the body too, head, body, legs.

What else did he need to do to prove he dominated every aspect of the fight, even when at boxing distance that all the Diaz fans thought Diaz would dominate?

I love the fight in the Diaz brothers, but to be honest with yourself you have to realize Nick hasn't beat any real top fighters at WW.

I mean his last stint in the UFC he lost 3 in a row to Sherk, Riggs, and Sanchez. Then he beat up cans in EliteXC and Strikeforce for quite awhile with his best win ever being against Gomi, a LW who hasn't done much since joining the UFC.

He is entertaining, no doubt, and he has skills, but he hasn't beat anyone worth a crap in a LONG LONG time.

Please don't mention a retired BJP. Diaz can beat good LWs, but hasn't beat a good WW in many years.

jmog;1409806 wrote:So the people at fightmetric, who do that for a living, are wrong and you are right?

No way did GSP land 32 power shots on the ground?

You have high regard to the knees to the body Diaz landed in the clinch but ignore the hard knees to the body GSP landed on the ground?

You couldn't sound more biased unless you came out and said "Diaz should have got the decision".

GSP did more damage in every single round, he landed more strikes in every single round, and completely dominated on the ground.

The 2 places every Diaz fan assumed Diaz would have an advantage (on the feet and off his back) are two places that GSP dominated.

jmog;1409960 wrote:Close losses are still losses. You didn't come up with one top WW that he has beat.

He talked his way into a title fight just like Sonnen.

jmog;1409993 wrote:10ish I can buy for Daley at that time but not Zaromskis.

However, 10ish is not top 10. Diaz fans in general got dilusional in his skill level since he beat up a ton of cans in EliteXC and Strikeforce.

jmog;1410015 wrote:If his bjj was that good he would have got at least close to a submission if not pull it off.

If his boxing was that great how did he get beat in the standup by GSP if he is just the lay n pray artist you say he is?

I just get tired of the double standard. When Diaz lands 100+ significant strikes that were mostly jabs it is exciting. When GSP lands 100+ significant strikes against Diaz that included a lot of jabs the Diaz fans say "all he did was jab and lay n pray".

The hypocrisy is astounding.

jmog;1410202 wrote:That is pure opinion and not fact at all.



Is the rolling knee bar the only submission Nick knows? I've seen him use a few others, it's not like that was the only possible chance he had.

GSP also said exactly why he didn't take the back with hooks, it was because of the knee bar, it wasn't because Nick stopped him from doing it.

Nick landed, wait for it...41 significant strikes in 12-13 minutes of standup fighting. THat's about 3 strikes per minute.

GSP landed 73 significant strikes in those same 12-13 minutes, that's about 6 per minute. Do you really want to compare who did more damage standing?

Throw in GSP's 32 significant strikes on the ground (2-3 per minute on the ground) to Diaz's 0 and anyone who says that the damage done was close was not watching the same fight OR is a Diaz nut hugger.

That's 105 significant strikes to 41. 210 total strikes to 80.

The fight wasn't close even when you do NOT consider the ground fighting.

Diaz attempted 1 submission the whole fight, 1. A lazy kimura during a takedown, I am much more impressed with his brother's BJJ off his back than Nick's.

What did Diaz do to show that he even wanted or deserved to be there?

I think Nate is more exciting as a fighter and to be honest Nick last night looked like he did not want to fight. He was playing more for a decision than GSP and that is sad (it is quite obvious GSP was playing for a decision). I hate the fact that GSP fights like that but it is disengenuous to act like Diaz didn't do the same thing the other night. He threw far less strikes FAR less.

Raw Dawgin' it;1411636 wrote:I think it's actually amazing that GSP makes these guys look terrible when they fight him. He has a way of exploiting a fighters weakness the entire fight and completely neutralizing them. I watch GSP fights to see him lose, but he has a way of making everyone look unprepared.

He beats people at their strengths.
