Dub Mon, 08 Dec 2008 03:18:02 +0000 http://fiveouncesofpain.com/?p=9753#comment-59444 I guess its just me, but this is a battle for the most annoying LW. Diaz and his brother use touch boxing instead of putting something behind punches. I don't think "point" fighting is effective using 5oz gloves. He should win based on his BJJ skills. And Guida is an idiot who bores me. His HUGE motor everybody talks about just covers up that he has a boring style and limited offensive skills.

I think Guida chugs 4-5 of those 5 hour energy shots. The guy is crazy. I don't recall Diaz being a good boxer. He might be a mediocre slap fighter, but that's about it. Now if Diaz learns how to throw real punches and not those weak slaps he would be one of the best in the LW division. His bjj is awesome. If he has done his homework and worked on his cardio, this fight goes to Diaz. I hope Daiz brings an extremely full tank of gas. I think Guida chugs 4-5 of those 5 hour energy shots.

Sun, 07 Dec 2008 21:53:54 +0000 http://fiveouncesofpain.com/?p=9753#comment-59420 well portland, i don't think i can agree with you in regard's to Guida's "lay n pray" or him being "boring". honestly.. everytime i watch him fight.. i'm either in awe, or screaming "WHOA!!". and when i think lay'n'pray, i think staying in someone's guard or half guard, even when they can easily pass, and holding them.. Now, Guida may not always be punching while he's on the ground.. hell, maybe that's why he never runs out of energy.. but he's CONSANTLY pushing, and trying to pass.. that's what i like in a wrestler.. unfortunately i don't think we see it enough these days :\ well portland,

Guida is definitely not one of my favorite fighters but i'll admit he has heart, a huge motor and good wrestling skills...probably some of the best lay and pray in the UFC but thats not what anyone wants to watch. I just don't understand how people like Guida fighting so much, techincally he is so boring. Not to mention his record in the UFC is 4-3, wow thats amazing. His fight with Danzig was the epitome of lay and pray and wait it out rather then having a credible game plan. So i'm going to have to go with my boy Nate in that fight. Guida isn't going to be able to do anything to him no body he trains with can't and Nate's BJJ is slick as all hell, plus i think you guys are underating his boxing. However, I disagree with you Rich when you say that if he beats Guida he deserves a 155 title shot. Nate is one of my favorite fighters but they are bringing him in gradually. I think Neer and Batman are both awesome fighters but they aren't part of the elite at lightweight in the UFC. If Diaz takes out Guida then beats a name like Sherk (I know, i know i hate him too), or Florian or even Huerta then he could be talking a title shot, but not yet.

really?
the way i see it.. you can sum up guida’s striking with just two moves.. overhand right, and a wild right hook..

that’s all i’ve ever seen him do..

maybe a few jabs i suppose..

the place where nick will have problems, is the ground [man, it sounds weird saying that]

Guida didn’t let Danzig do ANYTHING on the ground. everytime a sub was attempted, it was stopped immediately by Guida..

this will definitely be a good fight..

but for me, it’s just a tossup..

and it would really suck to see either of these guys lose right now..

if Diaz beats Guida.. i think he should definitely be lined up for a title shot.. the guys he’s beaten don’t have the biggest names, but they’re some of the best LW’s the UFC has to offer..

But if Diaz gets it to the ground, he can and likely will win. His BJJ is impressive, and I don't think I've seen Guida's BJJ defense. (Other than hitting the other guy in the face, that is.)
