Nick Diaz, Strikeforce welterweight champion, former WEC champion, UFC/ Pride veteran, Gracie BJJ Black belt and straight up beast. The guy is in my opinion, the most under-rated fighter in MMA today. He has gone out time and time again and beaten opponents decisively and without relying on his strength (Jiu Jitsu) most of the time. Utilizing crisp, quick jabs he has made no mistake or discrepancy in showing why he is champion.
April 9, 2011 he meets Paul Daley to defend his welterweight championship and people always talk about how, this (insert fighter) will be a test of his skill. Diaz will win and no doubt in my mind; example - when he fought Robbie Lawler, another powerful striker with KO ability, what happened..Nick KO'd him!! Nick is always being written off as a thug who will have to test his sills in order to win. The man has proven why he is the best and needs to go to UFC immediately.
With the purchase of Strikeforce, Diaz is now possibly able to join UFC since Zuffa is the parent company to both organizations. Dana White says he would love to have him back if he can learn to play the game (become more marketable, do PR, poster bay stuff) Dana is an idiot if that is his reasoning: Anderson Silva sits there and dances for 5 rounds if he feels the opponent is "beneath his skill" and he is still there; Chris Leben gets popped for DUI and he is still fighting big names; do not use someone's non interest in PR be the reason they are not fighting in the big show. Diaz would bring in alot more PPV buys and would finally face top tier level opponents every time.
