Stephan Bonnar, Wanderlei Silva, Manny Gamburyan, Tyson Griffin and Phil Baroni make their picks for who will win the UFC 137 Nick Diaz vs BJ Penn fight.
this fight is a tos up
i hope bj come in good shape,because we all know that like they said “diaz come to fight” and hes got very good condition
Lol, Baroni’s awesome… “I liked Nick Diaz before it was cool to like Nick Diaz”
“B.J. is B.J.”
- Wanderlei Silva
I got Diaz all day
I like Diaz cuz he’s a real fighter. He comes to scrap everytime. He’s a total retard outside the cage, but one helluv an entertaining fighter in the cage.
Man I hate this fight for Penn. Always liked both Penn and Diaz but I know Penn doesn’t give a s*** about this fight. We all know what happens when BJ doesn’t care, just look at both Edgar fights. Boring, 15-25 minute jab fests. Card went from absolutely stellar to absolutely not important.
I’m a huge fan of BJ, but Diaz has sick conditioning. I think if it goes 3 rounds, then Diaz will pull off the decision.
diaz by tko
Nick Diaz wins this one ..
Diaz is gonna get outclassed. it doesn’t matter who wins anyway cuz GSP is gonna beat whoever it is and retain his belt. I just hope that GSP starts finishing agen soon so ppl can stop hatin
Diaz.
I’d like to see B.J. put up a serious fight or even a win, but Diaz will walk through B.J. and retire him.
Well my money is on Diaz for this one. But I can’t say I’ll be real sad to lose that money if BJ wins.
The way I look at it, they both have great skills, but Diaz has better cardio and he’s a natural welterweight.
Diaz beats THIS Penn…NOT the old Penn. Diaz is a beast.
it’d be a damn travesty if this things not 5 rounds. anyone know for sure?
Can’t decide who. Two of my favorite fighters and both with mad skills in the cage.
It should be 5 rounds, its main event.
@no.1hansyboy
Why it’s not a title fight and the first 5 round main event is and always was schedueled to be UFC 139 Leben vs Munoz.
There’s so many guys saying dumb things like that.Stop looking for a conspiracy guys and just look at the facts.White is a Douche but just stop looking for conspiracy when there’s none.3 guys on the other BJ video said the exact same dumb thing.
unless diaz has vastly improved since last ufc stint, i dont see him hangin with Penn daddy!
Diax gon beat his ass watch. Bj jiu jitsu is not better than diaz they’re like the same everyone underestimates Nick’s bjj I mean he is a bjj specialist with hands of a boxer, training with Andre ward n stuff I’m takin diaz hands,bjj,and marathon stamina all the way.
Diaz*
I don’t care about 5 rounds as I am hoping it will be over by the second.
If BJ comes hungry, it should be fast. If not, Diaz breaks BJ’s will before the fight ends.
I hate to see these guys fight….always been big fan of both BJ and Diaz….kinda sux someone has to lose…I would say Nick will win, hes improved alot since his UFC days, and is definitely hungrier than BJ. I just hope he doesnt beat him up too bad! I love BJ, hes an awesome fighter.
Nick Diaz in the first round.
This has the potential to be the fight of the year.
Main events aren’t 5 rounds; Title fights are.
diaz will finish penn. penn is much more on his way out of the fight game than diaz is right now. diaz has something to prove and will likely do so against bj. despite my prediction, i hope penn breaks his ass like dishes.
casyboy you obviously haven’t been watching much mma lately. Diaz is much much better than he was when he last fought in the ufc. B.J. however is much worse than he was a few years ago. Diaz wins this.
Diaz by front kick!!
u guys really bought that strikeforce hype. im willing to take on any bet that says nick diaz will win cuz hes gonna get smoked by bj penn. bj’s beaten guys who manhandled diaz, this fight is gonna expose diaz like how shields has been exposed. next is gonna be melendez- team gracie is full of overrated wanksters.
@ casyboy “unless diaz has vastly improves” You must be talking about Nate Diaz. Nick Diaz is the older brother, and he’s a total beast. Penn daddy is a great fighter, but Diaz is, IMO, the most rounded fighter in the mma world. He’s got extremely unorthodox yet very effective striking, and I personally think he’s just as good on the ground if not better than BJ. And, he doesn’t gas, and he doesn’t give up, and BJ does both of those. I give it to Diaz, all the way. I liked nick diaz before phil baroni liked nick diaz.
love to see diaz win but he will probable get cut real bad and they will stop the fight early. all that scare tissue is a real disadvantage when fighting good standup fighters like bj, or gsp.. BJ second round doctor stoppage…
TEmpted says..nothing. Yeah, this card means nothing. Learn something quickly or don’t post comments. You sound like a plethora of idiots wrapped up into one uneducated freak. WAY TO GO!
Maybe I missed something but when was it ever cool to like nick diaz?
My money is on Diaz.
I guess uneducated people get black belts and get multiple contracts to fight on national tv lol riiight.
all main events are 5 rounds now, diaz by ass whoopin..
@Corey say’s; um im meant the older beast, i believe he has improved since his ufc day’s.. we really havent seen him against “A level” fighters in a while though.. bj and nick are fighters i enjoy watching but i have a feeling this may be lackluster, because of the friendships!!! they both said they will have a hard time hurting eachother.. so there ya go!!!
Diaz is winning this
Diaz by RNC…i mean THC (Tetrahydracannibinol)
I’ve seen Nick at my gym a few times doing cardio….He’s a pretty big dude for that weight class. I think his size gives BJ problems…and will give GSP problems too when they fight!
@simontheninja
You obviously never watch MMA to say that.The first non title main event 5 round is suposed to be Munoz vs Leben.Did they fought already?No so go check your facts before saying something like that.
I want Diaz to win, but he’s not a smart fighter. I think Diaz is a better fighter, but will make a mistake and BJ will capitalize. He likes to try to beat his opponent at their game (which is what makes his fights exciting) but that’ll be his downfall. Come to think of it…I change my mind. I’m going with Diaz.
Kungfu you’re funny. Give a guy crap for not knowing something that hasn’t even taken place yet. Yeah he’s wrong but to say he obviously never watches MMA is ridiculous.
Them being ‘friends’ is a little overblown. Nick’s not going to have a problem punching BJ in the face. If anything, he’ll show him respect and get it over quick.
I also think it’s misleading to say Diaz likes to beat opponents at their game. Standing and beating the crap out of people IS his game! I don’t fault people for saying it because you hear it frequently but it’s wrong.
There is a difference. He just aint stepping outside his game for fear of being dropped.
Penn getting knocked out.
