[MMA] UFC 158.................... spoiler

GSP manhandles Diaz for 5 rounds and wins it unanimously.

Diaz is a moron,there is really something wrong with him mentally,he was rambling after the fight about retiring........just a loose cannon.

Another lackluster performance from GSP... he wins, but he hasnt finished anyone since 2008.

Diaz had nothing on him on the ground, yet he didnt punish him enough on the ground.

But if this pussy bitch Diaz says he's done, i'll consider this a major KO for GSP.

I don't consider GSP's performance to be lackluster. He didn't finish Diaz, but nobody ever has. He used his strengths to minimize Diaz' weaknesses and stay away from Diaz strength, and it worked for five consecutive rounds. It may not have been as exciting as the Hendricks-Condit fight (that was CRAZY!), or the end of the Marquardt-Ellenberger fight, but GSP controlled the fight and, except for a couple of takedowns that were stuffed, did what he wanted through match.

Diaz has said he's done after his last few fights and keeps coming back anyway. I have to give him credit for raising GSP's hand at the end of the match, but taking a swing after the end of round 3 was cheap.

....and Diaz has major ju-jitsu on the ground. He was trying every time he was down but GSP neutralized it time and time again.

Yeah ok but GSP hasn't finished a fight in 5 years...

I think he will have a helluva time with Hendricks if that's his next opponent.

The thing with GSP is that he knows his opponents so well,he knows what to do to win.

It doesn't look pretty all the time and I much prefer a standup fight than one where they wrestle around....but GSP would have been in trouble had he stood up for 5 rounds.

I hope we see a Silva fight with GSP ,but he's going to have to really pick it up to beat him.

Sarcasm is the body’s natural defense against stupidity.

If GSP had stood and traded with Diaz for five rounds, he would have played to Diaz' greatest strength and negated one of his own (wrestling). GSP threw some good kicks in this one, including a spinning kick that we haven't seen from him in the past while.

If we see GSP-Silva, I don't think it'll be for a while yet as I see Hendricks first and possibly Rory MacDonald as well as being next in line for title shots.

reply to ZZZZZZZ
I'll guarantee Koscheck wished he would have instead of having GSP turn his face into hamburger. GSP likes to push himself. He's a cat not a dog. He loves to play with his toys.
