I think Diaz will box for a bit peppering sakurai . Then take him down and finish with the TKO

Sakurai, unless Diaz goes super saiyan like usually does in Japan.

However I think Nick "The Mouthy lil Prick" Diaz has too many things on his plate such as KJ Noons among other things. So I think Mach takes a decision

first and foremost it will be a war. diaz will pepper but sakurai will do a good job weathering the storm with his leg kicks and superior punching power. i think sakurai gets the better of the standing exchange and when the fight hits the ground he uses his wrestling to out point diaz for a ud.

Not really Sakurai's fighting KUNIYOSHI HIRONAKA!

YEAHHHH, Hironaka is tough as nails and a solid fighter, but Mach should be able to take the victory. Total bummer he's not fighting Diaz but this isn't a horrible alternative to me, as I'm a fan of both Fighters.
