Nick Diaz vs. Joe Riggs II set for “Strikeforce: Carano vs. Cyborg” : Five Ounces of Pain

Nick Diaz is expected to face off with an old rival in Joe Riggs on August 15 on the undercard of Strikeforce: Carano vs. Cyborg.

The event is scheduled to take place at the HP Pavillion in San Jose, California.

Sources within Strikeforce recently confirmed the bout according to a recent report on Carson’s Corner.

This bout between the two will be the second professional mixed martial arts match-up but their third fight as the two traded blows in the hospital following their first encounter.

Riggs won the previous match-up between the two at UFC 57 as he edged out Diaz in a hard fought unanimous decision victory.

Diaz last saw action on May 6 where he submitted Scott Smith with a rear naked choke in the third round of “Strikeforce: Lawler vs. Shields”,the same card where Riggs bested Phil Baroni by unanimous decision in his last outing.

Diaz is going to beat the hell out of Riggs IMO. Riggs just isn't on the same level as Diaz anymore, but still Riggs is a very solid, huge fighter. The only thing he can do to Diaz is take him down and hold him, and Diaz has great TD defence and he can get up no problem.

Wow, I'm pumped. War Nick Diaz!

The result may be the same, but Smith would never go for a TD, and you can bet Riggs will take Diaz down, or at least try, but Diaz has been in these spots before. Diaz is a whole different level than Riggs IMO.
