I can't remember if George's has ever so boldly predicted a beating.Diaz is always a danger standing.He is also predicting that Chris Weidman will defeat Anderson Silva in July.GSP trains alongside Weidman,but laying a beating on Anderson might not be quite as easy as hammering a fat Munoz as he did in his last fight.
GSP has beaten the best strikers and grapplers in the UFC and has proven that he can take down and strike with anyone. Diaz has won a lot of fights as well but has lost to some weaker opponents(noon, sherk and riggs) his last fight against Condit he was easily beaten, not to take away from Diaz he is a great fighter. I will predict GSP unanimous decision, he will pick Diaz apart standing and take him down when ever he wants.
I wouldn't say Condit beat him easily,Give credit to Carlos for being a very elusive striker.I still worry about George's being a little gunshy.Quote:

It is going to be a good fight both fighters are tough as nails and not afraid of a few cuts or bruises.
Diaz was on the Fan590 in Toronto today, saying he believes GSP uses steroids, (which may or may not be true), but talk about biting the hand that feeds you!! I say once GSP kicks his ass on Saturday, Dana White turfs him.
I dont think Diaz is on the same level as GSP. GSP should have no problem with this one
not a gsp fan but he will make diaz look bad....
Agree 100%...GSP doesnt need steroids the guy has extremely amazing genetics...his entire family does! Cant wait to see GSP put a beating on Diaz and then as Scott says Dana will most likely turf him.Quote:

Diaz is in his own world. He doesn't show for press meetings, show tapings, hates interviews and generally shuns the media. Yet he goes on record bitching about how he doesn't get the recognition from the media. How Adidas, Nike etc. don't want to rep him. When he wins a decision he gloats and when he loses a decision he threatens to quit the sport.Quote:
