I REALLY HOPE THAT JOE COMES OUT WITH A “W” OR THIS MIGHT BE THE END OF THE LINE FOR HIM. I DONT LIKE DIEGO ALL TOO MUCH BUT I HOPE THAT HE SERVES CLAY AFTER HIS LAST PISS POOR PERFORMANCE.. WELL, LETS JUST SAY THAT I WAS DRINKING AND FRUSTRTATED WATCHING HIM HOLD ONTO DIAZ ALL FIGHT LONG.
P!ss poor performance from Clay? That’s called “schooling”. Guida had a good game plan in that fight as he does with most of them, he didnt give Nate chance to breath, move, think or rest. You know what they say? Pressure Bursts the Pipe!
Or in Diaz’s case it burst the Bong
LOL POINT TAKEN BUT I DONT REMEMBER ANY ATTEMPTS TO MAKE SERIOUS DAMAGE AGAINST DIAZ. I APPRECIATE FIGHTERS WHO FINISH FIGHTS. HOWEVER, MY OPINION OF HIM IS THAT HES OVERRATED. IM NOT SAYING THAT YOUR OPINION IS GARBO, I JUST THINK THAT HE COULD HAVE DONE A LOT MORE AND THAT IT SEEMED LIKE HE WASNT TAKING ANY RISKS.
guida did put diaz in a full nelson as well as cradled him a couple times. thats awesome i loved that fight. and lets not blame guida for not finishing lets give credit to diaz for bein a squirmy bastard.
ryanmoney,
Pressure?Nate dominated the stand up,had more take downs,and more submission attempts.All Guida did was hold on and hug.How is that schooling?
ckdiesel,
I agree with you 100%.I also think Nate won that fight.
