Diaz vs. Cerrone To Serve As UFC 141 Co-Main Event UFC NEWS ? Nate Diaz Set A New CompuStrike Record Last Friday Against Donald Cerrone UFC NEWS ? Cerrone Not A Fan Of Nate Diaz: Recounts Locker Room ...
After last weekend?s destruction of Dennis Siver, surging lightweight fighter, Donald Cerrone proclaimed that he wanted to be included on a fight card this December. The UFC apparently took note and granted him his wish.
UFC 141 is set to take place on Dec. 30 at the MGM Grand Garden Arena in Las Vegas, Nevada. The end-of-year pay-per-view event will feature a five-round non-title fight between former heavyweight champion Brock Lesnar and newly signed heavyweight stand-out Alistair Overeem.
After leaving the lightweight division for an extended time, Nate Diaz recently made a return to his divisional home at UFC 135 and completely dominated Takanori Gomi with a first round submission victory. The win stopped a two-fight losing streak that he suffered while in the welterweight rankings. Diaz has always been regarded as a top lightweight. Having given contenders such as Clay Guida and Gray Maynard all they could handle, Nate returns to the division with a chip on his shoulder and out to prove he belongs amongst the divisions best fighters.
Since leaving the WEC, Cerrone has looked like the fighter promised to us long ago. Currently riding a six-fight win streak that includes four-straight in the UFC, this Team Jackson product has never looked better. Most recently he took out top 10 lightweight, Dennis Siver with a first round submission at UFC 137.
This should be the best fight on the card. Cerrone looked outstanding demolishing Siver. I?m still pissed at Siver for taking that ridiculous decisoin victory from Mat Wiman, that was the shittest refereeing I?ve ever seen. Diaz belongs at 155lb and this is a tough test for both fighters. IMO Cerrone has what it takes to go all the way to the title.
that was not a robbery decision. siver won 2 out of 3 rounds. wiman did have the more dominating round in the 2nd but he lost the first nd third rounds.
How come the UFC boots all the OG good fighters?.but keeps this dumptruck ?Vladimir Matyushenko??that guy is a lame?.and never wins fights. Why do they get rid of Cro-cop?and keep Vladdy & Tito? It?s a wonder what the UFC is thinking sometimes?..
I don?t know where you get your facts from but Vladimir has only lost once to the elbows of Jon Jones since his ufc debut. No shame in that since well I don?t know he is the lhw champion. Not to mention Vlady?s knocked out his last two opponents. Only lame thing here is your uneducated brain and your inability to write a complete sentence correctly. Get your facts straight or don?t post at all. I wonder what you were thinking when typing over someone you had absolutely no clue about. Makes me wonder.
Vlady is so friggen washed up he should stick with his day job of being a janitor. by thye way does your momma know how you talk on her computer. You sound like a10 year old little kid in everyone of you stupid posts. Everything i have ever seen you post is just nonsense, you need to have your momma tuck you in now ok little boy. I can tell your daddy ddin?t give you enough spankings because you are a littl;e disrepectful little bitch who will get his ass kicked your entire life. call me when you are 18 and i woluld beglad to give you the ass kicking you have been begging for on this website. fucking little bitch fuck. Bobby ?spanky? Larsen momma?
Was that an insult. Aside from making me laugh with that poor excuse of an attempt, still doesn?t change the fact that your a little vagina. Why don?t you go play with your little cunt to some Fitch videos. Your words don?t phase me. How old are you like 11? Alright alright maybe I exaggerated. More like 8 or 9 judging by the paragraph you wrote with some of the worst grammar I?ve seen since my little brother was 4. That was a compliment by the way but your probably too stupid to realize it so just thought I?d let you know. Get a life you little girl all you do is complain. BOO HOO!
Cerrone?s style and technic match up perfectly with Diaz style. This fight is gonna be crazy, Cerrone?s game plan should be leg kicks! take away Diaz?s reach and power by hurting whichever leg he puts forward, if not Nate will move forward with Jabs and take away round by round. Nate wont be able to put Cerrone away, Cerrone has a chin but Nate could win a UD easy if Cerrone doesnt come in to hurt him early, leg kicks are the key to victory for Cerrone.
Been hoping for this fight, I don?t want either guy to lose but I?ll probably lean towards Cerrone on this one. should be a crazy fight.
This is a pretty strong card. I have to go with the Cowboy on this one. I hope Brock brings his A game because Overeem?s striking is dangerous.
Nate better dig DEEEEP into his bag of tricks, because Cowboy has been looking vicious lately! Good match, but I think Cowboy will be bigger and stronger, and will bully Nate. I think his ground game is good enough to defend any sub attempts, and his striking game is good enough to stand with Nate. Cowboy got this. Hate to go against a Diaz, but that?
Gotta take Nate on this one. I think his hands are a lot better than Cerrone?s. Yes ALOT better, I said it. When it comes to technique Nate?s boxing looked crisp against Gomi. Spitting image of his brother in a way. I will give Cowboy the K.O power though. Those hands are powerful but nothing Nate can?t withstand. As far as groundwork goes I do too think Nate has a better ground game, not by much but it is better. Cerrone will be the bigger more powerful man but if Nate catches him sleeping for one second the night could be over. The way Cerrone?s been looking lately is nothing but phenomenal. If Nate comes to bang I see him taking a split decision, maybe even a submission late in the third. Otherwise it could be a repeat of what we?ve seen Cowboy do since his UFC debut. There?s fight of the night written all over this one.
His hands maybe a lot better, but what about the feet. I mean adepted kickboxing lends itself much metter to MMA than adepted boxing wouldnt you say. I mean one shin to nate?s head and you can have all the chin in the world but you will go down.
Yes you are correct but I feel the only threat Cerrone possesses to Nate are his leg kicks. Head kicks are good if they land but you can see those coming from a mile away. Nate?s good at avoiding punches as well as he takes them. If Cowboy is able to take out his legs(which he more than likely will attack them) then I feel he can slow Nate down. I?m not completely ruling Cowboy out but I do think Nate has the advantage. Then again I wouldn?t be surprised if cowboy came through the way he?s been performing lately.
Nate better learn to check leg kicks real quick! If I were Cerrone I would keep it standing,Cerrone is no slouch on the ground,but Diaz has some grade A JJ SKILLS-This will be an epic war.
I am glad they are putting this together with Lesnar-Overeem. These two are fast and explosive , whereas Lesnar and Overeem are both cardio monsters who can go on forever. Wait, was that the other way around?
I think Cerrone is better than Nate in pretty much every aspect of the game honestly, striking Cerrone is more diverse, just as fast and has more power, ground i give Cerrone the slight edge just because he will be a bit bigger and stronger, cardio is even, experience is about even. but Cerrone just has too many tools to win i think.
But that?s ok I can take a 14 min dump during that fight and come back the last minute and see a dude on top of another dude for the during of that last minute?.
oh damn, i read that wrong at 1st. i though they were talkin abt donald vs NICK diaz, and i was like, ok. should b obvious. but nah, this fight looks pretty evend out. cowboys been kickin ass latly, and diaz is good as always. i cant say who will win, but itll b ggood for sure. this fight icould realy boost cerrone?s already big name? still think itd b cool if he fought nick to, but idt hes ready. i hate nick diaz?
