I have no idea how this is not on the televised card this imo has the potential for the most exciting fight and most likely the favourite for KO of the night, we all know about Luiz Cane, has good power and can take a shot but i think a lot of people will be very happy once they see Cyrille Diabate (Striking coach on Dan Henderson TUF team), i've seen this guy a couple times and his Muay Thai is just sick (hes some sort of world champ), on the feet against Shogun he did terrific out pointing Shogun (till he got taken down and the famous soccer kicks came in), perfect Brawler vs technical skill fight hopefully they show it, if not im look it up for sure

Diabete has THE best Thai at 205, even better than shogun's... I dont know how good cane's ground game is, but he will have to take it to the ground if he doesnt wanna get his *** kick....

Cane got stomped his last fight, and besides devoted mma fans, i can't imagine the general UFC audience knows who Diabate is. But like somebody else said, this will hopefully be one that is shown during the PPV for being knock out or a tko.

I'd way rather see this on the Spike portion than Escudero vs Lauzon but it is understandable that Spike would want a TuF winner shown. Amir vs Stun Gun should be fun though.

You were close but u picked the wrong guy!
Diabate is a beast with a damn good chin too!
I'm sure no one will agree but Diabate's striking is a remnant of that of Anderson's IMO.
Won his debut and I can't wait to see who the UFC gives him next.

For sure it is, pin point accuracy makes up for needing a lot of power.

Doesn't it? The shots AS hit Griffin with were short shots that couldn't have had that much power behind then but they landed clean on the button each time.
The result: KO. I would even dare to use Carwin vs Gonzaga as a perfect example as well even though we all know that Carwin has big power no matter how his punches are received

Kind of reads like you are arguing with me agreeing with you.

The Snake def has the best muay thai in 205 its fantastic imo (yeah he did get dropped in the cane fight), off hes back hes pretty good as well he did terrific in the shogun fight until shogun caught him wiht a soccer kick, those long legs and arms are gonna give plenty of guys nightmares in LHW

actuallly he didnt do that good on the ground, but he was totally picking shogun a part... Looks like this guy has gotten much better on the grappling department too, I dont see why he shouldnt, its been a looong since the Shogun fight, and he probably spent a lot of time working on his ground game... also, his long lanky body gives him natural aptitudes for the ground, he might not be the strongest donw there, but those long legs and long arms can get submissiones from anywhere, not to mention trying to open close guards from this type of guys is a total b----....
