Again. Boring fight. They were on their feet long enough for Nick to do something ... and he never did.

So whatever. GSP wins easily.

The best part is. GSP Vs Condit was a very exciting fight. Yet people automatically forget.

GSP is better than your favorite fighters favorite fighter. Get over it. Go to WSHH to watch idiots who don't know how to fight run at eachother with haymakers.

good night of fights.

I don't understand why GSP's punches are so weak. He's super explosive, and his jabs are quick. Does he just not know how to put his body into it, or is that too risky/vulnerable?

Everyone who has ever seen GSP fight knew this was happening.

He paces himself to last five rounds, and doesn't commit to anything so he can easily change levels for takedowns.
 
I think what is frustrating is that GSP used to be an entertaining fighter. Then Matt Serra happened. It's clearly affected him as a fighter. Look at the Condit fight. That kick scared the shit out of him and he went back in his shell.

Nice win by GSP. Diaz got manhandled, on the ground and on his feet. Even if you don't like to watch the wrestling aspect, you have to admit that GSP exercised his will on Diaz and there wasn't a fucking thing Diaz could do about it.

While I sit back and watch the rage.

What a bold prediction by me.

Yup, he simply does not want that happening again.

Well he has really mashed up dudes faces in the past with jabs, see Josh Koscheck for example, but he doesn't put a lot on them though because he is generally just using his punches to set up the takedown.

Because he doesn't stand and throw.

He sort of lunges forward for more reach--that's why the power isn't there.

In pre-show clips:

"I don't know Nick Diaz, I don't want to know him, I just want to fight him and beat him."

After the fight is over:

"He's been in this longer than me, he's a veteran, I'm a fan of Nick Diaz."
