A very winnable fight for Diaz. But wouldnt be surprised to see DHK walk away with a decision. Especially when the judges dont even know what sub attempts from the back are.

After rewatching Diaz/Maynard a few times, I really think Diaz won that fight. Kim has not been very impressive to me, he's got good judo but not much beyond that. Kim might be able to pull off a win with ground control, but I think Diaz is a lot more well rounded.

You gotta go with the hothand here and that's the dude who's undefeated in Stungun.

Let's not gloss over that Diaz's last two wins came against a seriously one dimensional striker in Davis who's best days are behind him and a guy in Markham, who was nearly ten pounds overweight and basically cut before the fight. Kym's got tonnes of refinement to his game and won't get lobbed into a brawl with the slapstriker in Diaz. His overall fighting is evolving at a great pace and from the Brown fight onward has progressively gotten more and more technical with glorious balance and timing and is just too solid for Diaz I believe.

In other words, like Fedorlei is really saying...

Nate Diaz is going to get his ass whooped by a dude named Dong!

Hell yeah. Can't wait. GO STUN GUN!

I'm reading your mind so much I even knew you meant "stop reading MY mind" lol!

This should be a great fight. Both these guys are amazing grapplers. I dont think Kim will be able to control Diaz like he did Amir though. This has fight of the night written all over it.
