C-mon. If you don't work on your weakness youre opponnent will exploit it. Yes you have to expect to be on your back at some point agaisnt Gsp. But I see a Chael/AS senario but without the sub. Im not saying work on TDD all day. Im just saying work on your weaknesses. If Diaz worked on TDD seriously since he started fighting, he may be able to stay on his feet for maybe three of the five rounds...or maybe two. I dont remember the last time Diaz finished somebody with a sub! I realize the BJJ guys dont mind being taken down becasue they love to sub people. BUT.. The elite fighters rarely get subbed... you simply dont see it that often until they are softenned up. Diaz will not soften Gsp up from the bottom. his best chance is to keep the fight standing. and if TDD helps him stay on his feet for a round or two.....better for nick. Im not a fan of nicks style and whining when he losses but I feel Carlos did a good job against Gsp and almost finished him and diaz might be able to learn something from that.
