Two of the bad boys of MMA collide this Saturday April 9 at the Valley View Casino Center in San Diego. Nick Diaz and Paul Daley will do MMA battle and exchange chingasos under the Strikeforce flag, even though the MMA organization was just recently bought out by the UFC.
Diaz vs Daley is a matchup between two MMA fighters that have had the bad boy stigma attached to them, but their fighting abilities is what will make this fight entertaining. Diaz barely looks like a fighter with a scrawny skinny look, but the dude pulls out win after win with a stifling boxing style and excellent jiu jitsu. Daley is the typical athletic fighter with knockout power and a fast paced style, but has had trouble on the ground. Can Diaz avoid Daley's power and pull out another victory? We shall see this Saturday.
This Strikeforce fight card is not lacking in MMA fights fans want to see as it is stacked nicely with some MMA veterans an fan favorites. The fights should be interesting as some submission specialists are matched up with strikers.
