Nick Diaz not impressed with Woodley, Daley
by Thomas Casale on January 30, 2011

Nick Diaz is at it again.

Diaz (24-7) won his ninth straight fight on Saturday night, easily disposing of Evangelista "Cyborg" Santos. Not only is Diaz the king of Strikeforce's welterweight division, he's also staking his claim as one of the top pound-for-pound fighters in the world.

After another dominant victory on Saturday, Diaz looked to the future and commented on Tyron Woodley and Paul Daley, two fighters in line for a shot at Diaz's welterweight crown.

Let's just say Diaz isn't all that impressed with his potential future opponents.

"I don't want to talk bad about anybody," Diaz said about Woodley. "I don't have anything about him that impresses me. I don't know much about him. I hear he's a wrestler. So now that I hear he's a wrestler, it's whatever.

"I'm sure he's got a lot of potential. Anybody that makes it in here to fight in Strikeforce has got a lot of potential. That's the best thing I'm going to be able to say about anybody wanting to fight me."

Diaz was even more critical of the often cocky Daley.

"I see me putting punches on him, and maybe him taking me down, too and getting caught in a choke," Diaz said. "He could run from me and I could run him down, take him down and beat him on the ground. I don't know. I could see that fight going a lot of different ways. I'm not really impressed with Paul Daley as a mixed martial artist.

"I'm sure he knows what's going to happen if he steps in there to fight me. All they can really do is try to down-talk me and minimize what I've done in the past and what I might do to them."

Diaz didn't comment on who he would like to fight next, instead saying he would take on anyone Scott Coker and Strikeforce puts in front of him.

"I'm just here to fight," Diaz said. "I fight for Showtime and I have a manager. It's whatever."

 |  (25) Comments The Hitman: I hope they give him Daley next. That would be a crazy fight. So would Woodley. JujitsWho: Apperently Diaz can't be impressed with anybody, seeing as how he's the best fighter in the universe and the only guy alive that has ever had talent :rolleyes: Crap like this is why its hard to be a fan of the ******! Daley would crush his *****-ass in the stand-up BTW (but would lose the fight unless he KO'd Nick).......Woodley will be a better fighter than Diaz in the future too Bottom line here Nick.....Nobody really gives a **** what you think. If you're so great, just show us! You don't need to talk crap on people in a vain attempt to make yourself look better. Retard Wandering_Minstrel: Nick Diaz is over-rated. He beat a guy who was 18-13 at the time, big whoop. I'll be liberal and say he's top 10... but even then its lower 10 at that and he would get wasted by the top WWs in the UFC. I think Mayhem would put him in his place. GO HARD: war diaz Thom: Diaz is a great fighter, but I agree that any of the top level WW would take him out. His inability to wrestle really does him in. He's got solid standup and jits, but Kos, GSP and Fitch would all ride him to a win without much of a problem imo. IwishIwasMMA: He is not top ten P4P period. That is bullshit. He isnt even top ten in a division let alone P4P IwishIwasMMA: Kampmann and Condit are both ahead. They actually fight ranked people here and there. Lytle? Maybe... I guess..... Not really sure on that. Where is Daley? Hardy may still be an option. Penn for sure. I just dont see how Diaz is on that list. If I went to can land and beat on a bunch of cans and went 70 straight in the win column.. would that make me a top ten in a division? No. It would make me a can killer at a top level. flyangler: St Pierre Fitch Kos Alves Shields Condit Lytle Kampman Penn Hardy Johnson Sanchez 12 UFC guys that would beat up Nick. flyangler: Sanchez was kind of a joke, but he did already beat him once, and Sanchez's level of competition since that fight has been much tougher than Diaz's. Lytle is very simialr in striking and on the ground as Nick, and he fights better competition as well. Basically I'm saying what Iwish did, until Nick fights tougher opponents (6 more fights), he doesn't deserve to be in the top ten. TheNamelessHero: diaz is real wish hed fight real peps GO HARD: he can beat daley standing as well... just cant get caught with the bomb!!
