[QUOTE="audiolife, post: 1269555, member: 541383"] i dont think nick diaz sucked. diego had him down for like 3/4 of the fight and landed about 3 power shots over the whole time hitting the mat many more times than he hit diaz. nick could get up about anytime he wanted from the looks of it i just think he was trying to submit him. in stand up nick kicked his ***. 2 of the 3 best shots of the fight were landed by diaz. what nick complained about isnt how good or tough diego was it was more like "ok you win this show you make more money than the vetrans and get special training and get the big fights". nick started in the ufc when he was 19 0r 20 and has fought alot more top 10 fightrs in that class than diego has in fact that was diego's first "big challenge". i think he passed but as a wrestler they favor them being on top way too much. much more impressed with nicks ability to defend as that gets way over looked. sorta reminded me of a more brutal chris vs josh from season 1. all he did was sit on top of him to "gain control" while actually doing less. being on top should count yes but only if you do something with it and getting cold cocked 1 time standing while your oppenent is on his back negates some top control at least it should. not taking anything away from the ufc but their rules and judging lend themselfs to have a much greater potential of a boring fight compared to the other leagues. pride has much more rounded worldly fighters imo where ufc is more just ground and pound. best weapon in most of the last 15 ufc fights i have seen is "take down short elbow strikes" = boring [/QUOTE]
