Hey, we’re all excited about the Strikeforce: Diaz vs. Daley card this Saturday night. We are thankful for the two title-fights including headliners, Nick Diaz vs. Paul Daley for the Welterweight division and Gilbert Melendez vs. Tatsuya Kawajiri for the Lightweight division. And man, no matter how much of a last resort replacement an underdog he is, we love seeing Keith Jardine on the card against Gegard Mousasi.
But wait! What about those Rockstar Ring Girls? I don’t even know any of their names except that one, Kelli Hutcherson who’s super skinny yet blonde with a decent sized rack so she’s totally hot, but what happened to Corissa Furr? Do we get to see her again? Remember we voted her in as the winner of that Strikeforce: Feijao vs. Henderson successful popular contest everyone knew about, cared, and paid attention to intense Facebook search that yielded a whole 20 (or less) entries and Furr won with a whopping 904 votes? Please dear Strikeforce gods, give her a contract.

Over the last five years, few fighters competing at the major organization level have been as successful as Nick Diaz, who has been beaten just once in 15 fights over that span. Diaz though, remains as well known for controversy as he does for his considerable skills in the cage. Though he’s had a few spectacular wins, he remains a bit under the radar, partially due to his customary unwillingness to deal with the media, and partially due to spending most of his recent years in promotions that could not command the attention that the UFC could.
With serious fans, though, Diaz’s style has always resonated. Once primarily a submission artist, Diaz has worked his hands to a level that he has considered a try at high-level boxing. He’s never shown an unwillingness to trade with anyone, and he has an assassin’s instinct, finishing 20 of his 24 wins.
In Paul Daley (27-9-2), he is facing the most dangerous striker he’s fought. Given Diaz’s propensity to go strike-for-strike with anyone (in reality, it’s more like two-strikes-for-one-strike since no one can keep his pace), it’s very likely that Strikeforce: Diaz vs. Daley closes with a crowd-pleasing main event. For all Diaz’s complaints about how little he gets paid to put himself in danger, it seems he just can’t resist the lure of a good fight, and there is little question Daley will bring one to him.

I. If Nick Diaz wins, he could be the solution to the UFC’s GSP problem. And by problem, I mean the good kind, the kind that comes when you have a champion who is too dominant, and for whom there are never enough credible challengers. Not to look past Jake Shields (okay, I’m kind of looking past Jake Shields), but Diaz has the skills and the personality (in his own way) to make the welterweight division look like it still has a mountain or two left for the champ to climb — if he’s not already set on blowing up to middleweight and challenging Anderson Silva, which sounds like a bad deal from the start. But first, Diaz has to get past Paul Daley. Then he has to ‘play the game’ to Dana White’s satisfaction, which mostly means refraining from non-sanctioned combat on live TV or in hospital hallways. It doesn’t sound so difficult when you phrase it like that, and yet…
