Comments on: Rumored Nate Diaz vs. Clay Guida main event for TUF 8 unlikely to happen http://fiveouncesofpain.com/2008/10/10/rumored-nate-diaz-vs-clay-guida-main-event-for-tuf-8-unlikely-to-happen/ Your Destination for Insider MMA News and Opinion Sun, 22 Nov 2009 08:21:14 -0600 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.8.4 hourly 1 By: dpk http://fiveouncesofpain.com/2008/10/10/rumored-nate-diaz-vs-clay-guida-main-event-for-tuf-8-unlikely-to-happen/comment-page-1/#comment-53184 dpk Mon, 13 Oct 2008 06:13:59 +0000 http://fiveouncesofpain.com/?p=7774#comment-53184 I think most of the people here don't have a problem with wrestlers, just the ones who lay and pray, but lets face it people more and more wrestlers are coming into the sport every day, this is the professional league for college and international wrestlers, and luckily most of them like Cain, Carwin, and Rosholt are working hard to round out their games so that they can knock people out or submit them. I think Nate and Huerta would be a good fight, but the only way it happens is if Huerta resigns. The other guys that would be interesting would be Franca (It would let Nate make up for his last loss, but Franca needs to win his upcoming fight), Edgar (might not happen just because Edgar already lost to Maynard from TUF), Miller (Guy is solid, and if he wins at 89 why not), or if Nate will wait until Joe Stevenson is done fighting KenFlo, I think he could be competitive with (He did just beat Neer, who has a win over Joe). Which, by the way, does anyone know where the two sides stand in there contract negotiation? I would honestly expect him to get a contract similar to the contract that Sanchez and Kos just got, which started at 35/35.

If it's a submission, cool, a knockout , cool. I just don't like the majority of the wrestlers who just try to out point guys by taking a guy down and not working for a sub or decent GnP.I don't like guys like Lesnar, Koscheck or Guida. I like NateDiaz because he finishes fights. I like Kenny Florian because he finishes fight. I'm sorry my opinion doesn't match up with you "hardcore" fans. I like to see fights finished.Period.

Yes he takes them down, then he works his groundgame. that's not boring, he's working to pass and GnP. lol, do you think this is kickboxing or something?

It's not an oxymoron it's the truth.The guy doesn't submit people, he doesn't knock them out, he lays on top of them and hopes to point them out on takedowns alone.Ask Mac Danzig. The guy just doesn't make for exciting fights. Guida IS boring.

Nonetheless I think it would be a great fight. I don't see either finishing the other though.
