Diaz vs. GSP will sell out the arena and be HUGE on PPV...

True, in fact Aldo hasn't had a finish in a while unless if you are counting that fight he had with Chad, that was like feeding a coyote to a wolf 0_0, and yeah Cain didn't finish his last fight, and Benson and Dominick Cruz haven't had a finish in a long time. I think its GSP's amazing athletic ability that helps him grind out those wins, which in some way is more impressive than the KO/Choke out, 2 be able 2 fight for 25 minutes and not miss a beat.

The last time GSP finished a fight was in early 2009 - four years ago.

lol saying Hendricks is behind Diaz is one of the funniest things I've ever heard

I think this one will go like most of GSPs fights.. Unanimous decision for the champion after he jabs then lays on them for 5 rounds.. GSPs best strike is his jab, which is nasty, but doesn't have any knockout power. I would love to see a finish but GSP hasn't finished anybody in over 4 years (and nearly 100 UFCs lol) and that was penn, who finished out the round but his corner wouldnt let him out. The ref hasn't had to stop one of his fights in forever.

I saw GSP take a considerable amount of damage from Condit so saying Diaz cant rock him is crazy. If Nick can push the pace like he does every time I believe he can do it. GSP probably isn't going to stand and fight with Diaz.

I agree, a lot of people will be disappointed. Most mma fans are disappointed with boring fights. Hopefully diaz can push the pace and keep it interesting.

I hope Nick works him with stand up and forces George into a desperate take down which will surely end in a submission. Nick is a beast on the ground and on his feet. However George is short and compact so a Knee bar and arm bar may not be the easiest to catch.

Great video. If you can start to subtitle the questions it would make it a million times better.

Anyone else catch themselves watching GSP's interview while Dana was talking?

Diazs' weakness has always been wrestling, but he doesnt mind cus hes so good off his back

Football is huge in Canada. When the Superbowl is on its huge deal in Canada.

I heard GSP in the background go "ehhhhh"

objectively looking at their fighting styles nick is tailor made for gsp to put a beating on him like the one he gave fitch. nick is one of my favorite fighters and ill be rooting for him but gsp's fight IQ speed and wrestling advantage should make for an easy UD for gsp

He has been in the UFC for 3 years, he is 23, and is always training (which makes you sweat). Probably has a lot to due with him having back acne. He has never failed a drug test, and Bj had him randomly tested all through his training camp.

So true. People just refuse to accept the fact that Nick is one of the best welterweights ever. Not only today, but ever. A lot of people who think he has no chance are nooby MMA fans. Just because he wasn't in the UFC for awhile up until recently, a lot of people don't understand just how much of a top level fighter he is. He has the advantage in striking, jiu-jitsu, as well as cardio. Anyone who doesn't see that doesn't know the fight game.

IDK, I saw him take a kick to the face against condit.

Belfort vs Lombard would be a really good fight!

"Georges is one of the greatest welterweights ever" what an understatement... Yeah an Anderson is one of the best middleweights ever

I wouldn't be surprised if Rory moves to middleweight and faces Anderson. Just so he doesn't have to fight GSP. Rory could give Anderson a good go though.

PJ Fenn. Classic

yup fucking hard to hear

Gsp vs rory in Canada would be crazy!

I am sure lots of people will be shocked once frad zahabi pick the George from the floor .... you are absolutely right about that.

fair enough dude, but gsp was exciting in the second kos fight, he boxed the shit out of kos nobody expected that got to respect that

Its called being objective. Hes definitely a straight shooter.

people want to see gsp finish a fight, and so many fans highly praise nick diaz as number 2 guy, definitely a win-win situation for the ufc.

Forbes Magazine says Rampage is worth $8 Million, Dana White is worth $150 Mill, and Chuck Liddell is worth $16 Mill. Rampage may have EARNED 15.2 Mill, meaning that's what he was paid by the UFC since '07 and that's without uncle sam getting his cut, managers, trainer and living costs. Yeah, $8 Mill sounds about right for Rampage.

15:49 somebody got a codec call :D

As far as his aggressive issues that's just silly. 80 percent of MMA fights act that way, and maybe it's his character he is playing. Kinda like Chael or Ronda has developed, or maybe he is developing into his own person. He trains at the best gym( in my opinion ). Which could say something for the strides he's made.

lombard vs vitor will be a good fight. Fight i wanna see would be lombard vs silva. Would be a doozy!

Yeah, we really need to see him fight the guy who lost to Koscheck and Rick Story. I would rather want to se vs Rory, Maia or Diaz. Tougher matchups. Hendricks will get stuffed and boxed for 5 rounds

che mills, the former cage rage champ and the one with 13 first round finishes. and yes, that bj penn, the only man to be the former lightweight and welterweight world champion. rory is not hype, and so what even if he does loose this fight that doesn't mean hes not good just because he lost to someone who just had a title shot.

His fight against Kos was a boring jabfest. But it was masterful.

you do realise he only fights the way he does in title defences to win right? watch GSP in his early days in 3 round fights the guy was an animal.

Dana "We'll See What Happens" White! Gotta love him. Always keeps it Real.

notice everything Dana said about GSP? "a good fighter" wasn't among them

Nick is definitely better than GSP in striking and cardio. Ground game/ground & pound definitely goes to GSP.

Give me one instance in which GSP attempted to end the fight against Koscheck, Shields or Condit. "BUT THESE GUYS ARE TOP FIGHTERS" Granted, but Jones finishes fights...Cain finishes fights...Aldo finishes fights..Silva finishes fights... GSP has a different style which is not as conducive to finishing, but for me to say he is not now a finisher is perfectly accurate. Not once have you provided a counter-argument - everything you say rests on childish assumptions. I waste no more time. ;)

i love how he admits hed be shouting shit at the refs

Guy with the mike did a god job. Much more intelligent questions than helwani

To be fair Cain and Aldo didn't finish their last fights (I have no problem with that) and Ben Henderson isn't a finisher

See there you go, you don't even put Diaz in top 3. I agree Rory could be #2 but I feel with only one big win over a top 10, needs to show a bit more but the potential is all there and more

You turn up the volume! I have a surround system connected to mine and didn't have any troubles.

Being TOP 3 and being able to beat GSP, are 2 very different things

15:29 ... Boom ... background left side

The last time you finished a fight was in the early 80s

Dana has been using that one for years and years. I don't think I have ever watched a Dana White interview were he didn't use it

lol when you see SCRUM in the title you know some shits gunna crack

did you read that off your favorite mma site? Condit barely beat him and that makes him drop 5 ranks under him? Rory beat Bj penn in the same fashion as Nick diaz. went 3 rounds. Rory, I would rank him at #2, thats how much potential I see in him.

sooo im guessing you didnt watch the conit v gsp fight, after a MAJOR injury he came back and fought to finish, not to be safe. and thats AFTERRR an ACL tear. im not saying he hasnt been known to "lay and pray" but after his last fight i dont think you can assume the same thing.

props for the ROH plug! :D

11:25 CARANO VS ROUSEY!!! DO IT DANA! DO IT!!!!!

listen, at 15:50 someones cell rings and it is the tone from the comm. device on metal gear solid. thats bad ass!

yes.

why is the volume always so low?...tell the interviewer to get a better mic or stick it closer to him... the interview with GSP is always nice and loud and clear.. just saying

Im a fan of both, I am rooting for gsp, but diaz most deff has a running chance.

See i can speculate too!

Four years is a long time for people my age, not for people who are significantly older, so what reason had you to think my message implied that? I like GSP but if someone says he finishes fights and then gives examples of times when he was a different fighter (and BTW Penn quit before the start of the 5th round - a finish technically in the same way a TKO submission is considered a submission...) then they're missing the point to say he's no longer a finisher.

Holy shit dude that was a good one. My favorite before that was that he was allergic to finishing a fight

I agree one hundred percent. The rapid muscle gain, the backne, the ultra agressive attitude which seems uncharacteristic of him... I mean c'mon. I was born at night, but not last night!

gsp makes about 1.5mil per fight not including sponsorships and other under the table money..its impossible to know what type of money fighters actually make all speculation

whtever troll. A guy coming off 2 losses isn't ranked above a guy on an amazing run

anybody who knows roids knows Rory was doing them at some point. Can't remember the fight but one he has had in the past 18 months all he did was pick the dude up and throw him to the ground, didnt bother with any technique(which he has in spades) just kept chucking the dude to the ground, basically he was raging, back was covered with huge acne. I used roids for years trained for twice as many, I sweated all the time, but only got the huge back acne when OI was juicing. Hes clearly off now.

also, in my opinion those other organizations didnt have the same caliber fighters that the ufc does. i think he left because he wanted to be a big fish in a little pond to gain popularity (BUT as much as i hate him, i will admit he is a great fighter and deserves his UFC title shot, i just really believe that he is going to suffer the same fate as the other 23 men GSP fought) i hope the fight goes the way GSP vs Penn 2 went, and George puts a brutal dominating ass whoopin on Diaz

GSP's gonna dominate Diaz, Diaz is a sick fighter n backs everyone up, but he'll b eatin GSP's hard jabs tha whole time, sick fight cant wait

someone fell 2:53 !

when the hell is the ufc gunna add more weight classes? with 475 fighters on roster, and could pick up top guys from any organization.. what bout 165,180,195,230?? make it a lil more interesting jeez

You are another person who is fooled. 8:25 "Is Nick Diaz a tough guy to deal with?" And Dana responds, ultimately, with "there is no way he is the toughest guy to deal with". What he did was misrepresent the question in order to make it look like he answered it, and you fools suck it all up. Is Dana WAY more straight talking than politicians? Absolutely. But a lot of you seem to think he always speaks his mind...

Style has nothing to do with ranking, and never has. Strength of victory and strength of schedule should determine rankings, even if that's not always the case. Diaz has 0 win's over top 10 talent in his entire career at WW, his biggest win was his sub over Gomi 6-7 years ago, and after posting back to back losses there is no way in hell he's ranked above Hendricks. Unbiased fan my ass. Take a few to goggle the meaning of unbiased before responding "expert".

@ 17:58 Someone's a Metal Gear fan

8 million the Ufc gives him, but that's not counting sponsors Plus i doubt that's what the ufc gives him i bet its way more,he gets part of the ppv buys.....

thats true but diaz has always had problems with wrestlers in strikforce he just fought strikers gsp will take him down and hold him bad match up i doubt diaz will submit gsp

Why the hell would you not allow Reebok to be an approved sponsor? But you allow t-shirt companies that just repeat the same "Skull" theme over and over and fighters with Jimmy's Motor Repair on their shorts? Way to think big and expand your penetration.

Wanna bet? GSP is the man, no doubt, but for you to say no match, I must disagree. I think it will be a stand up war. Diaz has some of the best take down defense in the game and sick hands. GSP has great take downs and sick hands. This is going to be a fucking war bro, you are wrong on this.

Good questions

I concur.

Lol you say the fight was boring, I enjoyed how GSP tossed him around like a child.. GG

even tho hes good enough he will still fight him even george says it himself why would he lie we have seen GSP slip before it can happen. Anyone can loose right? expect anderson silva?

Wow, guess a roider knows all about it. Sick of arguing with people who dislike someone cause they're clearly jealous

God! my point was Gsp cannot win by Ko or Submission, Nicks too good, George WILL Lay & prey the whole fight.

ive been training in mixed martial arts from muay thai to BJJ since i was a toddler & ive been following the UFC since the early days so i think i no what i'm talking about, im not saying nick isnt a talented fighter and i'm not saying it will be an easy fight but i believe GSP will win this fight and come out of it an even better fighter than he already is now. if you wanna head over to a make up tutorial video and give your opinion then go ahead, you'd probably have better advice than i would

all dana does is think money that guy has no feelings rory and gsp are fucking friends , partners, rory slept on georges couch u cant ask that question same reason why shogun was never a champ at pride cause vanderlei was

@hoss011 they are adding a 115 class but I agree with 195 and maybe 230

i guess when matt serra beat gsp he was better than him also

last fight wasnt boring at alllllllll, after an ACL tear and along layoff, he actually looked better than ever. you still think hes gonna "lay n pray"????????????????

Just because u train, does not mean your opinion isn't bullshit. GSP will suffer one of the biggest upsets of his career to the hands of nick diaz. Nicks BJJ and striking is second to none. The only way GSP will win this fight is if he lays on him like a dead root for 5 rounds.

Anthony,you dont know what youre talking about.GSP is a great fighter who aint scared of anyone-look at all those fighters that said they will whip Georges butt-but couldnt do it!They couldnt beat George in the ring,so they had to beat him in talking smack,

Via mounted gogoplata.

don't know MMA? Top 3 WW = GSP, Hendricks, Condit. There you go, Diaz is NOT TOP 3 WW. Condit beat him so he's obviously behind him and with Diaz coming off a loss, no way can you put him in front of Hendricks. He's not even in top 3 on official UFC rankings which are notorious for putting title challenger at #1. You could put Rory in front of Diaz without much debate and Maia even has an argument for it too.

could the iPhone @17:00 look any more secure?

Have you actually ever watched his fights he destroyed Koscheck with stand up the whole match, and he beat condit standing up and on the ground every round except maybe when he got caught, he's not boring at all you're probably one of those guys that boo's a takedown in MMA

I think snake from MGS was hanging around there cuz i heard his phone

I love how the cameraman kept that girls butt in the shot. lol

Nick Diaz was a gentleman at the Press Conference?? I thought I was in the Twilight Zone!!

I hope the warmaster fights in the if

I love Dana. Idk any other business man that can talk like that to the media and get away with it.

thanks, that was the one, roid rage to the max. I havent seen a suplex since I guess he saw all the other dudes getting pinched for roids and got off them. Without the roids I think nate would have submitted him.

yes nick held belts in those organizations BUT i cant think of ne1 (& i could b wrong, just my opinion) in those organizations that would hav a chance against GSP. he dominates evry1 that steps up 2 him. Fitch, Penn, Alves, Hardy, Koschek, Shields & Condit...btw the latter 2 r from Strikeforce...all of them were supposedly "the guy who has the ability 2 take GSP's belt" i dont giv a fuck if sum wins were by decision, he owned them for 5 rounds. they had 25mins 2 beat him & they couldnt

Ummm... ROH did not copy Ricci and Macdonald..... they copied them.
