The link is to an article on MMANews. But it states in the article, that the rumor came from MMAWeekly.

This will be a fast paced fight. Guida could give Diaz his 1st loss in the UFC. But it's risky picking against Nate. Guida UD for now. probably change to Diaz later.

Nate via Guillotine round 1.

Ive noticed Guida leaves his head open on his takedowns.

i usually never pick against nick or nate diaz but i might in their next fights.

I think guida could grind out diaz but diaz could pull out a fast submission.

So i might pick guida and eddie to beat nate and nick.

His hair is too big to get anything around his head or neck lol.

Might be too frenetic of a pace for Diaz. It'll be interesting to see though. If it happens, it'll be a great fight.

diaz as no chance guida will do what he want in this fight


WAR GUIDA WAR


EDIT:Guida by domination

Yeah, I can see Guida in Nate's guard and punching himself into a triangle. Should be a good fight.

If they book this fight it will be just another win for Nate and to tell the truth Nate should dominate on the ground and be able to sub Guida with relitive ease, the only up side to this fight is that Clay might be smart enough to realize his ONLY hope to win this fight is to keep it standing and out strike Nate, I dont think he can but it might make for a closer fight.

I seriously see some hugging going on in this thread because Clay Guida is one of my favorite fighters to watch but I don't think he stands much of a chance with Nate...

great fight i have no clue who to pick yet

Nate should be able to get a sub, Guida is very aggresive, But imo that will be his downfall, He will just get caught in something....

But, This is the 1st Diaz fight where im not 100% confident in him, Guida is a warrior.

WAR DIAZ.....

Everyone is talking like Guida is prone to submissions, he does have a few losses on his record by submission but he is no slouch or a gimme on the ground.

Bottom line is that he is going to be too much for Diaz to handle, plain and simple

Guida will push that pace and smash Diaz for 3 rounds. He might not finish but he is going to win.

They talk like that for a very good reason, Nate Diaz is out there submitting BJJ black belts and making guys with some real solid ground games look silly.

Too much how? size, reach and strength are with Diaz although it counts for less in a MMA fight than boxing.

Guida is a G&P Fighter with "some" not the best but "some" boxing skills, are you trying to tell me that he will just take Nate down at will and pound on him? First of all who knows if he can even get Nate down and second if he dose he's more at risk on the ground than Diaz is, Nate should win the scrambles and be able to sub clay who likes to leave his arms out there.

Even in fights where Nate is not outscoring his opponent he hits them a few times and what do they do>? They either try and take him down or get it to the ground, nobody has been willing to just stand and trade with Nate for three rounds and I question if clay even could do so.

However, the stand up its much closer of a fight and I can see clay winning the first round because Nate takes his time. but as the fight goes on IF this stay standing I would expect Nate to KO him in the late second early third.

Bottom line is that any place he trys to push the pace Nate will be the better fighter and like a poster said if he gets over zealous he wont be able to shake loose of one of Nate's subs and I sure as shit dont see him winning the stand up.

Take all this with a grain of salt as I am a nut loving Diaz fan but who has Clay beat exactly? His record in the UFC is horrible even though his fights are all entertaining.

guida has good sub defense, he stayed out of aurellio's sub game, diaz is similar to him. i like guida by decision, but he's going to be playing with fire the entire fight because nate ridiculous off his back.

Great matchup, can't wait to see it go down

It's definitely a good matchup, but unfortunately Guida's game plays right into Diaz's.

Guida is by far one of my favorite fighters to watch but pounding on Diaz from guard is a bad idea.

Wow this will be a kick ass fight, but I'd have to say Nate via KO in the third round. Nate is out to box his opponants as he stated after his last fight. So Guida is out for another loss.

This fight is so good, i see Diaz via triangle choke. he throes his legs up so easily. this fight should be very good.

I think a fight between Nate Diaz and Roger Huerta would be a much bigger fight to put on right now. I could see Diaz and Huerta really hyping that fight up.

I would rather see Guida fight the Sherk-Griffin loser... probably Tyson Griffin in a rematch so he could get the win that the judges stole from him.

this is going to be a great fight. two of the more exciting fighters in the ufc.

i have to go with diaz; guida seems to be more concerned with fighting hard than winning, which isnt necessarily a bad thing, but does leave him open for.........a triangle.

Diaz, rd 3, sub

and his next fight will be even more exciting: diaz v huerta

Exactly what I was thinking, flailing his arms in the guard the whole time will get him caught in something

guida is still gonna wreck nate though. prolly win by decision but i would like to see a tko.

Guida's intensity will be too much for him. Nate has a great sub game but I see Clay pushing such a furious pace that Nate just can't keep up.

Guida via 2nd round (T)KO or Unanimous Decision
