UFC 158: 5 Reasons Nick Diaz Beating St-Pierre Would Be Good For MMA
The decision by UFC welterweight champion Georges St-Pierre to fight who he believes to be #1 contender Nick Diaz has been a controversial one. With some fans arguing Johnny Hendricks deserves Nick Diaz's place and others calling for a super fight with middleweight champion and pound for pound kingpin Anderson Silva. However the UFC has showed us that sometimes your mouth gets you places faster than your fists. And Georges doesn't feel the time is right to fight Anderson. So instead we'll get the highly anticipated, on and off and on again and off again and now on hopefully for good fight between Marijuana activists' fan favorite Nick Diaz and long time champ Georges St-Pierre. Come UFC 158 two things can happen. St-Pierre will use his smart game planning to mix up his striking, foot work and wrestling to win a dominating decision or Diaz will somehow find a way to finish GSP with strong boxing or use of his ever dangerous submission game. I'm here to tell you why in my opinion the latter is all around better for the sport.
