LMAO at Nick Diaz

Strikeforce champ Nick Diaz says Georges St-Pierre just fine for his next opponent


For as much praise as new Strikeforce welterweight champion Nick Diaz (21-7 MMA, 3-0 SF) receives for his grappling prowess, it's his voluminous striking attack that has led to his most recent surge in popularity.

Never was that more evident than in this past Saturday's "Strikeforce: Miami" main event, where Diaz defeated DREAM champ and vaunted striker Marius Zaromskis at his own game.

Now the question for Diaz becomes, "What's next?" And the scrappy Californian isn't afraid to ask for the best.

"I want to fight Georges St-Pierre," Diaz said. "That's the one fight I'm talking about."

Calling out the UFC's welterweight champion may prove an exercise in futility for Diaz. The company has stood by its vow not to cross-promote with other organizations, and every effort by fans, media and "crazy Russians" to get UFC brass to waver has fallen short.

Performances like Diaz's on Saturday night must get UFC president Dana White to at least take notice of the efforts of his former employee, but the likelihood of the exec offering up his champion is slim-to-none.

In the meantime, Diaz will have to find targets within Strikeforce's grasp.

Many observers believe Jay Hieron (19-4 MMA, 2-0 SF), who on Saturday fell victim to a technology failure and was once again unseen by fans not in attendance, should be next in line, but Diaz isn't so sure.

"I'd rather fight someone that's a little more important than Jay Hieron," Diaz said. "His fight wasn't even on the main card. Why am I going to fight him when no one saw [his fight]? I don't even know who he is.

"They keep bringing me these guys that nobody even knows who they are."

GSP

OK

I love Diaz, but he will get raped by GSP.

I think that is horrible, that the number 1 contender for the WW belt was fighting on a shitty stream that nobody could see.

LOL

There a billion Sherdog threads discussing how Nick will beat GSP.

Diaz' kryptonite is strong top-position grapplers. GSP is the best of those.

I'm not even sure Nick will beat Hieron.

Were there too many people on the server at once? If so that was lack on planning by strikeforce

Its easy to say things like this when you know the fight will never happen.

If it would happen, I would still say the same thing.

Nah I meant its easy for Nick Diaz to say he wants GSP when Diaz knows the fight will never happen

[Mr. IWS]

ahh, I see.

Im not sure how many fights Diaz has left, but I could see him going back to the UFC.

[MMA_scientist]

What a clown.

Diaz has not beaten anyone in the top 10, ever. Maybe Lawler 6 years ago. Totally totally overrated. I don't even know if he would beat Riggs in a rematch. I am not convinced that he is improved. He hasn't fought anyone since leaving the UFC. Gomi, but Gomi sucks now. he nearly got beat by Aina not too long ago, and was beat to a pulp by Noons. I don't know that wins over Frank Shamrock and Zaromskis warrant all this love. So far, Hieron has better wins, at least he can beat Riggs...

God bless him though, he doesn't lack confidence.



GSP would beat him anywhere. Zaromskis gassed, he is a relatively inexperienced fighter. Did everyone forget that he got knocked down with a punch and had several shots stuffed. He is ok everywhere, but he is not great striking, and he is not great on the mat. He is a perpetual contender, but he will never beat elite fighters.

He is funny though... I love to watch him fight.

^^But Nate said he was the best fighter in the world.
