Evangelista “Cyborg” Santos doesn’t take much of a liking to second and
third rounds. The Brazilian would rather dispatch his opponents in a
fashion true to his Chute Boxe roots: quickly and painfully.
Strikeforce welterweight champion Nick Diaz, on the other hand, likes to
build an opus of pain a dozen punches at a time. He might not put you
out on the first punch, but you’ll drop after the 12th.
The polar opposites clash Saturday at “Strikeforce: Diaz vs. Cyborg,”
which takes place at HP Pavilion in San Jose, Calif., and airs live on
Showtime.
