[...] Perhaps it is fear of being labeled a favorite son of the UFC by these same critics that has led TUF 5 winner Nate Diaz to publicly ask for tougher competitors than the ones given to him thus far. Regardless, Diaz seems to have gotten what he asked for and is now scheduled to fight Kurt Pellegrino at UFC Fight Night 13. [...]

[quote comment="280669"][quote comment="279391"]Nate cant run with the big dogs…

he would be toast vs the likes of Sherk, Huerta, Guida, BJ,Edgar or Griffen. He lucked out vs Manny.

He might beat the Joe Stevenson that showed up for the sucky title match. I doubt he could beat Pelligreno or Thiago.

I see it like this… (Not Rankings, but where on the totem pole if they were to slug it out right now)

BJ PENN
Sherk
GOMI
Diego Sanchez (Should he move down)
Florian
Huerta
Griffen
Guida
Thiago
Danzig
Pelligreno
Manny
Spencer Fisher
Nate
Joe Lauzon
Melvin Guillard
Pulver[/quote]

One of the best lists i’ve seen on this site, can’t really disagree.[/quote]
glad to see pellegrino on the list should be higher though

Nick Dias in my mind is the most exciting fighter to watch win or lose. He took Gomi places he had never been before and I don’t want to hear that if it wasnt for Mary Janes assistance the outcome would have been different.

As for Nate he’s going sell alot of fights with the attitude he has and he will become a fan favorite. Yes he speaks like a thug but he’s not maliciouse like Guillard is in his rants. And I think Diaz is a much better fighter than melvin is by far. The Diaz brothers will always have a huge fan base in MMA.

diaz needs to fight more of the lower down 155s and build more of a name before going after guys like huerta guida tyson griffin frankie edgar

he looked good on the show and last night but that manny kid was picking him apart before the injury

would like to see him fight joe lauzon
although with BJs help lauzon may be a bit above him

[quote comment="279297"]I say have a night of rematches…
There are a couple of good ones…

KARO vs Champion (GSP or Serra)
Manny and Nate
Bisping and Hamill
Chuck and Keith
Cro-cop and Gonzaga
Joe Lauzon & Jens Pulver
Franca vs Sherk[/quote]

Nope compleatly disagree, what your basing it on is the following theory…

‘the underdog shouldn’t have won lets give the favourite a chance to scrub that win’

There is no way Jardine should have to face Chuck anytime soon, likewise Lauzon vs Pulver & GG vs Cro Cop.

They beat them fair and square and should be able to move onwards and upwards from it.

[quote comment="280056"]you suck elmer fudd , your stupid cant talk and dont deserve 30,00 when keith jardine beat chuck Liddell for much less wtf????
MAKES NO SENSE KEITH JARDINE BEAT BEAT CHUCK AND GOT HOW MUCH ?!?!??! IT WAS …
$28, 000
THat is stupid HOw does ELMer FUDD get PAID more THAn Keith Jardine???

UFC stinks..it tries to be a monopoly like the nfl or mlb but does not play “fair”. there should be a ranking just like tema ssay in nfl just because lets say the gianats get more watches than the cougers or whatever…does not mean they should get paid less or FURTHERMORE win again and again and get apid less than others or!!
WIn WIn WIN and shold go to the finals only to have the team you beat
(KEith J. beating Forrest G.) only to have the 2nd place team go jump ahead of you and go for the title Forrest vs RAMpage.[/quote]

Before you start bashing fighters about the way they speak, maybe you should take a look at your grammar and punctuation.

Just a thought.
