I hope Diaz beats his ass

Oddsmaker says UFC 137 line could continue to improve for Nick Diaz

[SPX]

So I don't get it. The article title says "line could continue to improve" for Diaz and then talks about how money could come in on him.

Do they not know what it means for an underdog line to improve?

I think MMAjunkie failed at bet talk

[SPX]

Fail junkie is fail.

I did my part to help Diaz's line improve, though.

It's official. GSP: 3.5u to win 1u

Don't remember seeing this posted, so. . .

On a different note, White revealed that Strikeforce welterweight king Nick Diaz will vacate his title in order to challenge UFC champion Georges St. Pierre for his strap at UFC 137 in October. Henceforth, Diaz will be regarded as a UFC fighter, though he could return to Strikeforce at a hypothetical point in the future. As a result, two to-be-named Strikeforce contenders will battle later this year to decide a new 170-pound ace of the hexagonal cage.

That is just silliness to me

[SPX]

Why is that?

[Luke]

Why is that?

A few reasons .Why does he have to "give up " his Strikeforce belt to fight GSP? Its not like he's leaving some rival company like Shields did when he came to the UFC, they are both owned by the same person now , they have the power to send any fighter they want back and forth with a little neg with showtime.Also why does Diaz now have to be considered a UFC fighter now but he can go back to being a Strikeforce fighter later ......its just dumb and pointless imo , why cant they just call it a superfight ,let Diaz go back to being the SF champ if he loses and do all this without being all WWE melodramatic about it?

[SPX]

I bet they think that Diaz is basically being wasted over at SF.

Of course by pulling him they take an already-weak welterweight division and render it virtually meaningless.

I agree . Why not just let him fight GSP and then when he loses let him return to being the SF champ?
