"Did you say fan? I'm not a fan -- his values and my values are completely different. He does things that I don't do like smoking pot and I don't associate it with that. I'm not saying it's wrong, but that's just what he does and it's not my thing. I'm not a fan of Nick Diaz, no. It just seems like now in the UFC, if you can talk a good game, you might be able to get a light heavyweight title shot. And if you get suspended for a year, come right back after losing a fight, you get to fight Georges St. Pierre for the title.

So, maybe I'll just take a couple of months off, do some things I shouldn't do, and maybe I'll get to fight for the title. But, hey, he's in the position now and hopefully he can step up and beat Georges St. Pierre. I highly doubt it -- I believe it's going to be an easy fight for St. Pierre. He'll just take him down, wrestle him and control him like he has everyone else. Georges is going to be there for awhile -- it's going to take a good wrestler who can stop his takedowns and has power in his hands and eventually knock him out."

Kos, I am a fan of yours.

Forgave you for infuriating Daley, but nonetheless, I am a fan.

Kos gets subbed in that fight, it's about entertainment kos knows this that's all he did on tuf was talk shit. Maybe if he didn't lose to the champ twice already he would be a contender not a gatekeeper. Phone Post

Is Kos predicting the impending dawn of the John Hendricks era? Phone Post

Back that statement up with facts, and remember two things:

1. Nick Diaz is not Nate Diaz
2. Sean Sherk fight was after Diego one

You're one of the coolest dudes on here, but this Nick Diaz can't stop takedown shit is annoying... Phone Post

His TD def % is 64, to put that in perspective GSP's is 86. Bjs is 76, Rory is 89, Kos is 63. So yes he's not horrible and yes better than his brother. His main weakness has always been strong takedown artists dude. He's about to deal with the best at WW at taking people down.

Karo took him down 9x
Diego took him down 5x
Riggs 3x
Gomi 3x

I like you and understand you're a Diaz fan but we haven't seen Diaz against a very good wrestler in a while. Phone Post

I like this Koschek attitude with saying he knows he has to come and fight.

I always liked his fights, but for a guy in limbo and with so much talent, that's a good thing to hear.

But, man, how do you stay hungry with two planes?

Agreed.  

Diaz will be able to avoid being stuck on bottom from some wrestlers, but the more athletic and powerful wrestlers like GSP, Kos, Hendricks, Ellenberger, Fitch and honestly maybe even Mike Pierce will give him serious problems.  Unless he can pull off a sub from the bottom, I don't see him beating any of those guys.  Ok, maybe he'd beat Mike Pierce.

Man I think that'd be a tough cut for Kos.

Don't you think that Maynard vs Bendo is essentially the same fight though? I'm very interested in that matchup.

Isn't Kos one of the biggest WW's on the roster?

@gayguard - I'd have to rematch those fights to see how many td's he couldn't stop and how many he let happen tbh. I remember the reason he lost the Diego fight was the takedowns, but consider:

Sherk 1/19 TD

And Koscheck is no GSP; Kos' JDs are not nearly as explosive as GSP's. I don't think Diaz has a problem keeping Kos at bay while getting him to overcommit. Diaz would light him up and use an effective sprawl imo, and Koscheck would be ktfo around 3-4 round Phone Post

How about you back that statement up with facts?  Name one decent wrestler that Diaz has beaten.  What evidence is there to suggest he can stop a TD from a decent wrestler, let alone GSP/Kos?

The evidence is him stopping 18/19 of Sherk's takedowns, whose takedowns are just as good as Koscheck's.

GSP will be a difficult fight, but Nick owns Koscheck Phone Post

Ok - 

 

  1. Sherk scored 2 TDs according to Fightmetric.  Sherk is also a natural LW.
  2. He lost that fight.  I don't see how him stopping the majority of the TDs from a LW masquerading as WW but still losing is evidence of him being able to beat Koscheck, a very good wrestler.
I truly do like Nick Diaz.  I think he's one of the most talented fighters on the UFC roster.  He has amazing boxing, cardio, BJJ and perhaps most importantly is incredibly entertaining.  If I was trying to introduce someone to MMA, Nick Diaz would be one of the first fighters I'd show them.
 
Unfortunately, that doesn't change the fact that both he and his brother are crippled by suspect TDD.  If matched up against non-wrestlers, I have a really hard time seeing anyone beat them.  However, whenever they fight big, strong and athletic wrestlers, my opinion is that the only chance they have of winning is by sub.
 
Funnily enough it's Nate who has had more success with wrestlers/grapplers.  He's beaten Pellegrino, Miller and Gamburyan

To be fair, Koscheck's double leg is incredible. Sherk's is comparable, but I think Kos would dominate Sherk in terms of grappling.

I actually think Nick would beat Josh, but I feel that his Nick's stance and fighting style would present Josh with a lot of opportunities to shoot the double.
