The real question to me is, which one of the two is going to get knocked out by Dan Henderson? I don't think either can compete with him, and the division is really weak compaired to what it was just a year or two ago, with no dominating fighters. I think with Dan on his top form now, going into the cage with an ego bruised Rashad, or a star struck Jones, will win by knockout on either.
But onto the Pac/May of MMA. Nick Diaz Vs GSP. I'd been a massive fan of Diaz for a while. His last two wins were brilliant. First he stands up against Male Cyborg, and only goes to his jiu jitzu skills when he was taken down, in which he finished it in seconds. Then, he went in with Semtex Daley, who is one of the hardest welterweight punches in MMA. Diaz took his hardest, and returned with his superb boxing, knocking the stand up fighter out. The way I see it, Diaz can really take it to GSP in the stand up. I'm not sure if GSP will let himself get submitted, and I'm pretty sure Diaz won't be able to defend the takedown. I think it lies in Diaz making sure he can get straight back to his feet once he is taken down, and teeing off with his boxing again afterwards.
