Can everyone see the picture right? Just making sure I embedded it correctly

This is a no brainer. GSP will grind him 5 rounds just like he did in hi last fights. The only way I see Diaz winning is if he land a lucky strike just like Condit did. But seriously I don´t see that happenning.

I am courious about Marquardt vs. Ellenberger. I really like and respect MArquardt but he is really oftern somekind of a wildcard.

Call me crazy but I actually see a GSP finish in this fight.  Bold prediction considering how durable Nick is but I havent seen GSP this motivated since the second Penn fight.

Ellenberger and Marquardt will be explosive.  Im pulling for Marquardt but he is incredibly inconsistant

Gsp will wrestlefuck Diaz all night, mabey even break an orbital bone like he did to josh koschek

My picks for the main card are

GSP
Hendricks
Marquardt
Ring
Ricci

Several of these fights are toss ups to me though that could easily go the other way

I really hope he can finish it, he hasn´t finished anybody since Penn I think. It kinda pisses me of. I mean I don´t mind a good grappling match or wrestling. But GSP just grinds. He tried to finish Hardy but didn´t manage to pull it. And against koscheck he just kept him on distance.

He was definatly trying to finish Condit in his last fight.  He was ground and pounding the shit out of him.  GSP just fights smart is all and when you do that it involves taking less risks.

I agree his lack of finishes is frustrating but I certainly saw sone if the "old" GSP in his Condit fight

GSP should win easily, but I doubt he will finish Diaz. He couldn't even finish Hardy who is not even half the fighter Diaz is.

On a side note I just heard on the radio that this could be GSP's third to last fight. He wants this fight, then Hendricks, and then Silva as his last fight.

Well see.  I like Diaz since hes exciting but hes fairly over hyped

He has a lot of victories over low ranked oponents and a lot of losses against legit competition
