UFC 158: 5 Reasons Nick Diaz Beating St-Pierre Would Be Good For MMA

1. Super Fights

superfight With Georges losing the title he'd have the option to fight for it again in a rematch or to move up to middleweight for the long awaited super fight versus Anderson Silva. Which admittedly would lose some of its aura if GSP was to lose to Diaz but it would still be two all time greats going at it. As we mentioned this would also be the perfect time for Rory to get a crack at the welterweight belt. But who says super fights are limited to just one? Diaz vs. Silva was a big topic of discussion not too long ago when both Anderson's manager Ed Suarez and Diaz's head coach Ceaser Gracie claimed they wanted to make the fight happen. It ended up not occurring because it didn't really make sense for a fighter who just lost his last fight in a division below to fight the champion of a division above (I'm looking at you Chael). However with a victory over Georges the fight is more than justified. Not to mention stylistically exciting and sure to deliver some fireworks. So let's recap. A handful of fights between Diaz GSP and Anderson, a shot for a young prospect to fight for the belt, the stay of Nick Diaz in the UFC and MMA's expansion into Mexico. In any case this fight is guaranteed to entertain and more likely than not GSP will win. So whatever happens sit back pick up a beer or whatever else you're into, watch out for surprise drug tests and enjoy.
