Diaz vs Henderson and SHOGUN vs Gustafson

it has been announced by zuffa that on December 8th ufc on fox will have a title fight between Ben Henderson and Nate Diaz with Shogun and Gustafson being the co main event.


The video I saw also said the winner of the co main event will get a title shot

Nate has been looking good lately and I think he can beat Ben. I support Shogun but it´s hard to root against Gustafsson, one of few top swedish mma fighters.

If Shogun shows up like he did against Vera, then Gustafsson is gonna blast him. I think Ben is too big and strong for Diaz. Remember when Nate got wrestled by Kim?

Bendo wins easily, I believe.
Gustafsson needs to work on his cardio a little as he faded in the third round against Silva. If. This problem is fixed, I see Gustafsson outworking Shogun.

Gus TKO2
Diaz UD5

You know what hte problem is with Shogun? He's damn lazy. It's not even me saying, his own coaches say he's lazy. He does all the sparring but is completly negligent with the conditioning. That's why his last performances, specially against Jones were not that great, and if he keeps it this way it will be the same until he retires. As most as i'd like to Shogun to win, i can't stop feeling the viking will get this one.

Damn Shogun vs Gustafsson is gonna be a sick fight, I really enjoy watching both fighters so i'm a little bit torn on who I want to win. I'm leaning towards Shogun because his PRIDE FC background and ex shute box member

Shogun all day.

Gustafson has never been in with a fighter like Shogun, and it will show.

I think diaz will win by sub

Shogun struggled with Vera. I honestly think he is shot at this point. Gus is going to do a number on Shogun.

I don't think Bendo will be able to follow enough of a gameplan to beat Diaz. Nate likely outboxes him on the feet, and matches Bendo's top game with relentless submission attempts.

The Thiago Silva that fought Gus would stop the Shogun that fought Vera, in my opinion.

Whether that's true or not (I don't really agree), Silva doesn't fight like Shogun. So we are left with nothing but a hypothetical triangle theory.

The only way Shogun loses this fight anyway anyhow is by beating himself and coming in out of shape with his cardio again. Actually, it's the only way Shogun has or will lose a UFC LHW fight.

I´m sorry guys but Alexander will show you why Vikings are superior in his matchup against Shogun.

War Gustafsson he is a true Viking i really hope he wins that would be so huge for swedish MMA
