Does Diaz have more reach than Gsp

Bobmyster

I'm thinking he does as he's taller, because if he does then Gsp won't be able to 'jab' Diaz to death on the feet so he'll let kick then shoot, then get caught in a sub then game over! And the new WW champion of the world......... Nicholas Robert Diaz!!!

Hellequin

I think they have the same reach 76 or 77 inches? If I remember correctly.

(Correctly not completely lol)

Diaz is flat footed, GSP leaps while engaging. GSP will have a 1 ft reach advantage :)>-

both listed at 76 inches, but Diaz seems longer to me.i won't even respond to your prediction about a sub,seeing how Ditaz has never subbed anyone ranked in the top 10.His most important sub in terms of name recognition is the fireball kid

Wiki lists them both at 76 inches if that means anything to you guys.

WAaaaaay more reach,that is the ONLY reason he has success at striking,he hits like a girl.You can NEVER take the posted reach numbers because they have NOTHING to do with an actual fighting reach.Just being the taller fighter gives you more leverage punching down than up and the hip pivot adds at least several more inches,Silva uses his stance and hips really well to add a lot of reach.

Diaz has longer arms, but GSP has the broad shoulders to make up the difference.
