Tyson by tko in the 3rd. | Tyson will not tko Diaz. If he wins it will be by holding Nate down. Nate by Triangle

I still say Tyson, even though I got freaking slammed for it last time. Nate looked good, but I still don't think he's ready for Griffin. I will admit it if I'm proven wrong, but that is still to be decided.

I think Tyson too, just for the fact that he'll be able to physical dominate Diaz no matter where the fight goes. I don't see Nate being able to take him down at all and Griffin has a lot more power in his striking than Nate. I haven't seen anything to say Griffin has bad submission D but Nate is pretty damn slick.

Nate by triangle choke. Sure, Tyson has strength and great wrestling, but when matched with a sneaky bjj fighter like Nate Diaz I'll go with Nate in a heartbeat.

As far as I'm concerned Thiago Tavares was robbed against Tyson. While one would think Tyson has the advantages to win this fight, Nate has the skills to make things very interesting.

Nate by triangle. Griffin is a stud, but I don't think he could finish Diaz.
