George St. Pierre vs Nick Diaz

February 8th, 2010 by Brotherlove | 1 Comment | Filed in 2010, George St. Pierre, MMA, Nick Diaz, Strikeforce, UFC

George St. Pierre vs Nick Diaz isn’t likely to happen. George St. Pierre is the UFC welterweight champion ranked #1 in the world. Nick Diaz is the Strikeforce welterweight champion, ranked 3rd in the world, according to FightMagazine.com. I doubt the organizations will unify the title belts by putting there champions to the test. In my opinion, Nick Diaz wins by submission or TKO do to punches. If George St. Pierre wins, it’ll be a slow process with George St. Pierre controlling the ground game with his wrestling, but he’ll be unable to submit/finish Nick Diaz. It’ll go to the judges.

Both George St. Pierre (above) and Nick Diaz (below) have faced the highest caliber of MMA competition, and both have persevered. George St. Pierre has wins over, BJ Penn, Matt Hughes, Jon Fitch, Josh Koscheck, and several others, while Nick Diaz has wins over Robbie Lawler, Takanori Gomi, Frank Shamrock, and Scott Smith.

Then WHAMMO!!!! A hard overhand right hit the chin of Melvin Manhoef and was followed with a left hook to the face, Melvin Manhoef was already plummeting to the canvas and was knocked out before he hit it. Forced to jump in front of a knocked-out-cold, with his eyes unblinking and wide open, the referee stopped the fight with 1:29 to go in the first round. Stiff as a board, Melvin Manhoef did not get up for some time. Robbie Lawler was victorious!

BELOW: Marius Zaromskis, was my first pic to fight George St. Pierre. Marius is a title holder and a tournament champion, I thought he might beat up Nick Diaz. DAMN! Brotherlove was wrong!  Nick Diaz threw several impressive combinations, with several punches landing. It was a short right hook that rocked Marius on the chin. Marius Zaromskis was completely out classed.

Scott Smith KOs Cung Lee. An unbelievable finish to an action packed fight. Cung Le dominated Scott “Hands of Steel” Smith for the entirety of their 3-round middle weight Strikeforce MMA bout. Cung Le dropped Scott Smith several times, and tossed him around in his expert Sanshou fashion.

Scott Smith was getting owned by Cung Le, but Scott Smith never gives up. Continuing to press Cung Le, and continuing to march forward, Scott Smith persevered. Scott Smith delivered a left hook to the chin of Cung Le, dropping Cung Le to the mat. Following up with several punches to the face, referee John McCarthy was forced to stop Scott Smith’s ground and pound onslaught. Cung Le was defeated, and knocked out for the first time ever.

CONGRATULATIONS SCOTT SMITH, and CONGRATULATIONS STRIKEFORCE. I’m looking forward to more great Strikforce cards. And I can’t wait to see what other amazing fighters Strikeforce acquires. It’s a matter of time before Strikeforce calls out UFC for the best MMA fighters in the world.
