To those who may have been worried about the Diaz/Silva fight:

"UFC CEO Lorenzo Fertitta does not believe the fight between Nick Diaz and Anderson Silva on Jan. 31 is in jeopardy, despite the legal matters currently facing Diaz.

Diaz, 31, is scheduled to appear in San Joaquin County Court in California on Thursday to face eight total charges stemming from two alleged driving while under the influence incidents."

What are your opinions on his talent?

I have nothing against the guy at all. Not a fan and i'm not a hater in any way. Same for most of the division. But i just don't see him beating any higher level guys. There's so many holes in his game and technique i see when watching him. I just can't see him beating top guys.

He's amusing if nothing else, there's always a place for a fighter like him

They've gotta find a way to keep him away from smothering wrestlers without looking like that's what they're doing tho. I can't see him being able to keep a Clay Guida type from grapple fukcing him

A Chad Mendes type of fighter that's athletic and a strong grappler smashes him 9 out of 10 times I think.

To me, hes a dynamic striker. Probably the best after Aldo/Swanson. I really don't even see Poirer being much of a challenge. Hes a name, has good boxing, and solid BJJ. But I could see the fight going the same as the Swanson one where Mcgregor just picks him apart. Until I see him against a strong wrestler like Mendes, Edgar, or Bermudez, I can't determine if he will be elite. Hes a great personality tho. Cocky and entertaining without borderlining on insulting/delusional like Chael. He was just on the UFC fight blogs in his hotel room bumping Drake and talking when all of the sudden he just broke in to the thats none of my business tho kermit the frog meme. shyt was hilarious and nor corny at all

Hope Sakuraba can still move well enough.
