I actually would really like to see this one.
I’m one of the seemingly few people that likes Frank Shamrock so I wouldn’t really care who won the fight. I think Frank will take it though.

Nick Diaz would get knocked out by Frank Shamrock in the first or second round. We have to give Frank some respect; he took apart Baroni who isn’t a great fighter, but is no joke and is a solid fighter. I would love to see Frank back in the UFC. He wouln’t be champion in the UFC, but would provide some good match ups. I would like to see him fight with guys like Grove, Herman, Cote, Lutter, Quarry, Lister, Tanner, Horn, etc.

Would be a great fight, I always like to see Nick Diaz talking trash. If Nick looses, noone expected him to win so it wouldn’t be a big deal. But if he beat Frank…that would be cool to see too. Good fight though, would like to see either way.

I would like to see him fight with guys like Grove, Herman, Cote, Lutter, Quarry, Lister, Tanner, Horn, etc.

Frank would woop up on all these scrubs you mentioned, throw some real fighters at him.

Ken vs. Frank, that is probably the only Ken Shamrock fight I am wanting to see. That would be b@dass.

Nick Diaz would smoke Frank Shamrock!

I certainly don’t like Nick Diaz, but I know better than to count him out of any fight. I’d pay to see this one. Especially since I’m still unconvinced that Frank Shamrock can beat any A-level fighters in this day and age. He’s got wins over Tito and Horn, which are impressive, but he fought those guys 7 or 8 years ago.

As a pre-Gomi fight Nick Diaz fan, I would love to see this. Even if he loses, Diaz doesn’t have boring fights.

Does Nick really want to be defeated by another green leaf.

Frank would woop up on all these scrubs you mentioned, throw some real fighters at him.

How are you calling Evan Tanner, Dean Lister, Jeremy Horn and Kendall Grove scrubs?
Do you watch MMA?
Jeremy Horn hands down is one of the best alive.
Dean Lister is a wizard on the ground.
Kendall grove is exploding onto the MMA scene
Evan Tanner is a remarkable fighter.

How are you calling these guys scrubs.
Watch MMA.

Nick Diaz DESTROYED the top 161 fighter in the world… and would do the same to Frank Shamrock…

hmm.. i wonder id nick realizes that there in two different weight classes but oh well shamrock would run through nick without a problem nicks only way to win would be by a lucky submission

After really seeing Frank fight, I believe he is one of the top guys in the world to beat. Diaz ain’t no joke either, but I wouldn’t see that fight going the distance. Shamrock by TKO in the second.

hmm.. i wonder id nick realizes that there in two different weight classes but oh well shamrock would run through nick without a problem nicks only way to win would be by a lucky submission

Dude, submissions aren’t lucky. Chris Leben knocking someone out with his eyes closed is the only “lucky” way to win a fight.

Why doesn’t the UFC man-up and bring back all of these fighters?

Why doesn’t the UFC man-up and bring back all of these fighters?

Ego, contract disputes….
Lets be frank, we are lucky to have BJ Penn back in the UFC after his issues after beating Hughes.
Two fighters I dont think we will ever see back in the UFC, Frank Shamrock (cause of his issues with Dana, and his just overall issues… and the fact he cant compete with the UFCs 185 or 170lb fighters) and Trank Frigg (for sending some warheads at the bridges…)

Nick Diaz has one loss by TKO (punches) and it was back in 2002 to Jeremy Jackson. He’s fought Joe Riggs who has good power and didnt get KOd, and he beat Gomi and Robbie Lawler who is known for his standup.

Nick Diaz is a good fighter. it’s too bad his style is attacking from his back. He loses too many decisions in the UFC that way. Of his 6 losses, only 1 has been Non-decision. Back in 2002.

This sounds dumb to me. He was getting stomped by Gomi when he caught Gomi in a sub. Frank is way bigger stronger and better. Nick may have better hands then Nate but they’re still ugly. I hope the fight does happen. I’m a believer that both the Diaz brothers need a good stomping.

Why is everyone all over Jeremy Horn? What top 15 fighter has he ever beat? Sure he has ALOT of fights. Does that make him a “legend” considering that he has fought noone. Oh and Frank already kicked his ass so nuff said on him. Moving on…
Dean Lister??? He has beat……..Nonone. Most notable win? Noone
Kendall Grove has fought sooo many good fighter lets put him in the hall of fame right? WRONG. Kendall has not had a challenge yet.
Evan Tanner-Overweight has been. Nuff said on him.

Dont try and put your 2 cents in when there is really no evidence to back your claims up. Like I said before, Frank would woop all these scrube. Putting him in the ring with Terry Martin. Give him someone half way decent to start out with.

is he serious? frank is by far stronger he has excellent subs and much better striking thats like saying sean sher would whoop anderson silva’s ass

Nick Diaz is a thug idiot. Good fighter but not great. He needs to grow up and learn to quit running his mouth all the time.

What are we even saying, Frank would NEVER fight UFC again. So this whole discussion is dumb.

“I watched his last fight and no disrespect intended but I think I would whoop his ass.”

How does he not intend disrespect with that statement? It’s like a southerner saying “bless your heart” right before telling you how stupid and/or ugly you are.

What are we even saying, Frank would NEVER fight UFC again. So this whole discussion is dumb.

He doesn’t have to. Diaz doesn’t really fight in the UFC either, he could go to Elite or Strikeforce or whatever the hell it is Frank fights for. I will say this for the Diaz brothers, they certainly do not lack in heart.

I like Nick Diaz’s willingness, but I think Frank would be too much for him.

What are we even saying, Frank would NEVER fight UFC again. So this whole discussion is dumb.

doesn’t it say in the article that both fighters now belong to elitexc?

I am talking about seeing Frank fight the scrubs mentioned above in the UFC.

Was diaz high at the time or is it the brain damage talking?

. Putting him in the ring with Terry Martin. Give him someone half way decent to start out with.

I’m sick of being told how great Frank Shamrock is. When is he going to show us? Are we supposed to be impressed with wins over Bryan Pardoe, Cesar Gracie and Frank Baroni (2 time loser to Tanner)? His decision win over Elvis Sinosic puts him on par with whom? Alessio Sakara? I’m willing to excuse his losses to less-than-all-star talent, like John Lober, Yuki Kondo and Kiuma Kunioku because they were more than 10 years ago, but you also have to go back nearly 10 years to find him fighting contenders. Shamrock has shown he’s a perpetual self-promotion machine, but little more. If he’s not interested in showing he can compete with A-level fighters, then why are we interested in him?

doesn’t it say in the article that both fighters now belong to elitexc?

Is this not a UFC BLOG?

doesn’t it say in the article that both fighters now belong to elitexc?

Wont be too long before Nick is back in the UFC. Shamrock will never be back.

Frank would woop up on all these scrubs you mentioned, throw some real fighters at him.

Based on what recent track record? His recent win over a decent but not amazing Baroni? Or maybe his fight a few months back where he was getting dominated and decided to cheat to save face? Shamrock is making his career out of his past hype.

I would love to see Diaz get pounded by Frank Shamrock.

Wont be too long before Nick is back in the UFC. Shamrock will never be back.

I agree, in fact I posted this on mmaplayground, tell me what you think:
Anyone else think Diaz has a UFC return in mind perhaps? Aside from a possible big payday for fighting Shamrock, maybe he is also hoping for a similar offer from Dana White that Baroni received (both the $ and an invite back to the UFC). Maybe a bit far-fetched, either way it seems smart by Nick to call out Frank. Plus I think he could take him (at the very least, he would give him a good match)

Soko, you mentioned that of his 6 losses, the only non-decision was to Jeremy Jackson in 2002. You should have also mentioned that Nick Diaz avenged this loss in 2003, not once by TWICE. Once by TKO and the other by submission. Now that’s avenging a loss!

Nick Diaz is my favorite fighter in MMA. Do I think he can beat Frank, sure why not. Do I think that he can beat Frank 9 times out of 10 – no freaking way. The thing about the Diaz brothers is they can be taking a beating while in thier guard (even though thier excellent guard usually leads to glancing blows)for the entire fight, and then snap on that black belt submission in the last 10 seconds of the fight and win – that’s the beauty of top notch jiu jitsu practioners. Nick would need to be unconsious to stop fighting.

I love both fighters.. i would really like to see this one.

Nick Diaz is a thug idiot. Good fighter but not great. He needs to grow up and learn to quit running his mouth all the time.

Damn Right. Between the Diaz boys, Karo, and Manny I don’t think I want to hear another fighter interview ever again. Get your head out of your @$$ and just fight.

It would be a great fight to see but I think Diaz needs to stick to 170 and possibly 155. 185 outside of the UFC belongs to Shamrock. Shamrock would be too much for Diaz. I’m looking foward to Shamrock/Cung Le. I wish all three of these guys mentioned would come to the UFC

Too bad Dana will never let Frank back in the UFC. Too bad, I would have liked to see him whoop Nick’s pothead ass.

I do think that he will be back in. Especially now that Nate is in. People may call him a dumb ass or whatever but you know that Dana likes that. That is good promotion for the sport. Dana is a business man first. Diaz has not even hit his prime yet. He will be back.

Oh my, this is foolish.

Just when I start to get interested in the Diaz’s fights, Nick “Tenacious Tinhorn” Diaz comes up with another utterly silly request. This kid needs a severe beating.

Nick, be humble, OR GET HUMBLED.

I hope you get pounded into dust. 10 barrel keg party at my place if Nick Diaz gets a deserved, well rounded beating.

This sounds dumb to me. He was getting stomped by Gomi when he caught Gomi in a sub. Frank is way bigger stronger and better. Nick may have better hands then Nate but they’re still ugly. I hope the fight does happen. I’m a believer that both the Diaz brothers need a good stomping.

Dude, did you even watch that fight? Gomi was done for atleast a round… hands at his side, swinging for the fences. Gomi got flat up and out owned that entire fight.

EVERYONE hates Diaz… but the dude has amazing talent. He just like many fighters, need a handler, and some direction. Imagine if Diaz, Tito Ortiz, Kevin Randleman all had someone to keep them on the straight and narrow. Shit, Vitor…

Ok, first of all I need to say that I totally agree with CAN A COMP CAL 10×10×10! Mr. NC 17 you must have forgot to turn your tv on for the last year…those fighters you named, yeah they are all whack as hell! If Frank Shamrock is so freaking hard and a top level fighter then tell him to quit being a little female and come fight some big names. I like what Nick is trying to do with this situation…since he is out of the UFC he is trying to keep his name on the forefront so when it comes time to get back into the UFC he can climb right back into the seed he left. He will be back and he will be champ…I’m sorry but he is real good. As far as beating down Frank Shamrock I couldnt care less because this fight isnt going to happen.

jeremy horn has beat liddell , griffin, and in the last 5 years has only lost to liddell,lindland,sobral and anderson silva plus he goes up and down weights all the time so hes no scrub

jeremy horn has beat liddell , griffin, and in the last 5 years has only lost to liddell,lindland,sobral and anderson silva plus he goes up and down weights all the time so hes no scrub

Horn just needs to be more physically well… physical. Same with Lindland. If these guys cut the shit, worked on their cardio, ripped up, and did strength training they could dominate for another 5 years atleast. Having the talent is one thing, just need the tools to apply that talent.

Diaz is smoking something way worse than pot if he thinks he’s gonna whoop Franks’ ass.

Nick Diaz would smoke Frank Shamrock!

How serious are you when you say these things? Anyways I hate Frank more than any fighter and would love to see ANYBODY beat him, don’t think Nick can do it though.

Shamrock handpicks his opponent and he only takes the most marketable guys, usually veterans, he can find that he feels confident he’d beat. I don’t think Diaz fits the profile. First, he’s not a veteran like Gracie and Baroni, so the fight wouldn’t be as ‘epic’ as his last 2 fights. And there’s a chance he’d lose to the guy.
 
Shamrock is at a point in his career when he can afford to not give a fuck what people think. He can take and turn down fights at will. It’s a rule: You never want to take a fight where the other guy has nothing to lose and you have everything to lose.

First, he’s not a veteran like Gracie and Baroni, so the fight wouldn’t be as "epic’ as his last 2 fights.

I think that you think way too highly of Phil Baroni. In my book, the guy is a bum who only has decent hands. Nick Diaz is a MUCH, MUCH better MMA fighter than Baroni. Diaz only fights agains top competion.

Do you know Phil Baroni’s record? I do, and its 10 – 8. That’s in the same category of Elvis Sinosic. Who has Baroni beaten? You ready to hear all these big names (sarcasm) = John Hayes, Curtis Stout, Robert Sarkozi, Amar Suloev, Dave Menne, Chris Cruit, Ikuhisa Minowa (Minowa later avenged this loss), Ryo Chonan, Yuki Kondo and Yosuke Nishijima. Now that is a VERY unimpressive list of victories. Who has he lost to? Well any half way decent fighter he faced – Matt Linland (twice), Evan Tanner (twice), Pete Sell, Ikuhisa Minowa, Kazuo Misaki, and now Frank Shamrock.

Also, have you ever seen a boring Diaz fight? Not a single person on this site has.

THAT IS A FACT!

nick would beat frank at every part of his game except wrestling and strength…. he has better striking than frank… and training with caesar gracie he probably has better grappling 2…. so frank probably has a punchers chance or a matt hughes type slam but besides that i dont see shamrock winning this one

Shamrock made supposedly around 1.3 Million to fight Baroni… because of all the BS Frank bubbled before the fight. If Frank did the same with Nick, he could get paid a high $$ ammount if Strikeforce and EliteXC could put together a card like the last show. Frank has a few fights left with Strikeforce, Nick just signed with EliteXC… this might happen sometime soon guys and gal (assuming there is atleast one…)

i love frank shamrock he is a tough motha fucka but nick diaz is a bad dude and has a chin of iron i would like to watch that fight tho but i think shamrock would win cause of experience

Nick Diaz would smoke Frank Shamrock!

fuck that Frank was known as a pound for pound,POUND FOR POUND! hes gonna woop franklins assssssssssssssssss

Nick Diaz would be really physically and technically outmatched … I also have yet to see anyone submit Frank Shamrock and I can totally see Frank manhandling Diaz on the ground. So I would definitely go with Shamrock on this one. Oh, and if yout hink Renzo was dominating I think you need to re-evaluate. Just because you see Frank Shamrock on his back doesm’t mean you can count him out, Tito put him on his back about 95% of that fight and Shamrock won.
Also, people need to stop trying to say Frank Shamrock NEEDS TO PROVE HIMSELF … the guy is a seasoned veteran of the fight game, he doesn’t need to prove shit to you, this is his career and he has earned the right to do whatever he wants and to fight whoever he wants.

Yeah Nick said the same thing about Gomi when he was on steriods…haha

Frank put a Gracie Challenge. He’s already knocked out Ceasar and he’s gonnna get a rematch with Renzo.

I doubt Nick Diaz would kick his ass after seeing Sherk bust up his face and Diego Sanchez pounding him down.

Frank still looks like he’s prime shape. And he’s was the Greatest UFC MIDDLEWEIGHT CHAMPION OF ALL TIME!

um he forgets during steronis fights frank pulled his mcl and something else yet he still destroyed him nick would get his aqss whooped phils a better fight for nick even tho they busted him with juice

Oh my, this is foolish.

im up for that

Probably because none of those guys are considered top 5 on anyones list.

But either way Frank would beat Diaz just cuz of the weight. Its different to cuz weight to make 185 then to put on weight to make 185. By fight time Frank would be back to well over 185. Still i’d like to see this just cuz i love Diaz fights

CMON GUYS.. YOU ALL KNOW DIAZ COULD BEAT FRANK.. NO ONE HAS EVER STOPED DIAZ HES NEVER BEEN KNOCKED OUT. unlike frank.

Nick Is A Gracie JJ Black Belt. He would own frank on the ground and Stand up.

DIAZ DESERVES MORE.. Hes got some much skill Hes A top fighter in his wieght class. His boxing skillz are better then most top strikers in mma.

People just hate him because he talks shit and he smokes chronic.

Not true, I don’t like him cause he looks funny.LOL

Frank is washed up and so are the people he is fighting. Diaz has yet to reach his prime, and he has amazing talent. He is one of the most exciting fighters in the world. He got screwed in some of his fights in the UFC, and he beat Gomi while he quote High end quote. And Gomi is suppose to be the best in the world. Diaz is for real and he is goin to show everyone in his fight agains Mike Aina.

only i can say is frank never had a real lost since he leaves the UFC,he has only only lost since then but it came from disqualification, i think he still though to bang around against young guns

Diaz could barely beat a no name 160lb fighter. How am i suppose to beleive he can beat Frank Shamrock at 185lbs?

i hope frank shamrock gave a chance to still fight in the ufc, atleast maybe 2 fight contract to see if still got what it takes to compete a level a fighter, since he’s whooping all the level b fighter’s ass (always)

Frank would tear up Nick.I could take on Nick .As for Frank,he’s the best!

Frank would tear up Nick.I could take on Nick .As for Frank,he’s the best!

I agree, Frank looks unstoppable in that organisation.. I hope he can go back to UFC and challenge the big names there cos he makes every one he fights look crap in elite xc. I believe Frank is a force for any MW or LHW in any organisation. There would be a lot of dream match-ups you could make ie.. winner of Silva-Henderson vs Frank. The Baroni Shamrock match was a damn exciting match to watch, one of the best I’v seen in a while. Frank’s the man.
