Strikeforce Agrees to Nick Diaz vs. Roy Jones Jr.

Quote :: After reports surfaced that Dana White had nixed the idea of a fight between Roy Jones Jr and Anderson Silva occuring in the UFC, Strikeforce founder, Scott Coker, agreed to make the fight happen in Strikeforce. Nick Diaz would be fighting Roy Jones Jr.under MMA rules.

"We would absolutely set this fight up. Of course we would have to run it by Showtime for final approval, but I don't see why we wouldn't have this fight" -Scott Coker

It now seems that the only hope of seeing one of the legends of boxing stepping into a cage will be through Strikeforce.

UNDER MMA RULES? I'm a little bit afraid now..... Nick is going to take him down and sub him.

Quote :: "I get a Roy Jones call once a week pitching me things," Hershman said on today's Strikeforce media call. "[A fight between Diaz and Jones Jr.] would be a very long shot of ever happening."

would be interesting

Diaz is a sure ground victory but would he get the takedown in time?

reminds me of the early years of the ufc with styles vs styles. RJJ has no chance in stopping the take down.
