    well good luck with that, guess we'll have to see how he looks after that nasty leg break.

    It'll probably make it more of a boxing match than anything else.

    I was most disappointed to see any Diaz in the UFC again. Can't stand either one. I find the break from them enjoyable. And the MMA forums MUCH more enjoyable with the die down of Diaz Fanboy involvement.

    He will fail another drug test, or lose and rage quit yet again. The other fighters have figured out to not be goaded into the Diaz game. Silva will most definitely NOT be goaded into Diaz's game. They haven't evolved.

    Diaz/ Silva will be one of the few Silva fights where I am actually rooting for Silva to win.

    The top of my list for most disliked fighters...........

    Bisping
    Koschek
    Diaz Brothers
    Rampage

    I thought he might fight Mayhem in another promotion but ah well. Tim Kennedy is pretty annoying too.

    Good... I think Silva schools him there. Much faster hands.

    Yeah... wasn't it awesome to watch how bad he whined when he lost to Condit? I loved it! Then he retires... WAHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!

    Anderson was looking for a fight with Diaz for his return. My sense is he'll be looking to make a statement with Nicky. I'll be happy to watch that happen.

    And all those Diaz Fanboys who whined on MMA forums ever since (to this very day)seem to forget that Diaz would never have won that fight regardless- because he failed his drug test!

    He originally wanted GSP, but that doesn't look like it's going to happen.

    That said, I just started doing my homework on the Diaz brothers. I watched two of their first couple of fights on fightpass and they were impressive but I watched his fight with GSP and it was a joke. I started to get the impression that his strategy was trash talk a lot to get big fights, collect money, go home.

    Yeah, so he actually lost twice... should to bad we can't add a second loss on his record for the hell of it.

    Silva vs Diaz:

    A match made in Heaven. Diaz will be flipping whilst Silva will be grinnin' and throwing his arms down, lol.

    Wonder if they'll do that all night?

    Sort of. He became a seller because of his attitude but he's still a decent top 10 fighter. I don't like him but it is unfair to judge him based off of how he did against GSP. GSP made a career out of making people look like they didn't deserve to be in the cage with him.

    Diaz's problem, both of them in fact, was that they had a very good style of smack talking people in fights to get under their skin and then out work them and it worked well until Condit refused to be goaded into a boxing fight with his back against the cage. Or "ran away" depending who you ask. Since then both Nate and Nick have had their opponents follow a similar game plan and they've been unable to adjust.

    You are right about collecting money though. Nick has said that he doesn't particularly enjoy fighting, its simply the only way he can make the kind of money he did. If triathlons paid multiple hundreds of grand a race he most likely would never want back in the ufc.
