Nah. I'm a huge fan of the Diaz bros but they are what they are: high level gatekeepers. Diaz vs Woodley would look a lot like Diaz vs GSP, a lopsided decision win for Woodley
It would look like something but I am not sure if it would be GSP/Diaz. Woodley might have more power but he isn't the technical striker GSP is nor does he have the cardio so we probably won't see the same volume of strikes. He would also be too petrified to take Diaz down which If memory serves GSP did.

Yeah, I was gonna say, Woodley might gas and get caught out in the champiionship rounds because takedowns aren't just break time in a Diaz guard and Woodley's entire game is built around conserving energy and exploding.
