Don't get me wrong, I believe that Riggs has gotten better since facing less worthy opponents than Swick, Sanchez and Hughes. He's been in the game awhile but has not nearly improved as much as Diaz.

Diaz is a better fighter now, and Riggs isn't. Furthermore, Riggs has had muliple injuries, including one to his back. He ain't the man that he once was. That was a long time ago.

Diaz sub'ed Smith, but Riggs went to a decision with Baroni. Diaz by second round ko or tko, imo. The last paragraph says it all. Diaz sub’ed Smith, but Riggs went to a decision with Baroni.

I believe they both look better the higher in weight they go. Man I hope the weight is at least 180 for this fight. I believe they both look better the higher in weight they go.

Seems like a quick turnaround to heal two broken hands and then start a training camp to prepare for a fight with Diaz. Also when this fight does happen I'd assume there is no catch weight involved and it would be for a 170lb. title. Since Jake Shields plans are to apparently fight in the future at middleweight.

When you said undercard, I automatically think "not televised". I would say it's on the main card. It's called "Strikeforce: Carano vs Cyborg", so we know it's not the main event. Anyway, I think Diaz will pick him apart. I see it going pretty much like the Scott Smith fight. I'm sure it will be at a catch weight, maybe 175.....???? I was confused too.
