The MMA Fiend interviewed Nick Diaz and talked to him about his upcoming fight with Frank Shamrock. Nick is very confident and he believes that Frank wants nothing to do with him on the ground.

From The MMA Fiend:

The MMA Fiend: Without giving away your game plan, how are you approaching the fight with Frank Shamrock? Nick Diaz: I know he doesn’t want to go to the ground with me ’cause I’d tap him out quick and probably embarrass him. So he’ll try to trade strikes. I don’t mind. Does he have any specific strengths or weaknesses that you think you can capitalize on? We’ll like I said he’s weak on the ground so he’ll be doing everything to keep it standing. He thinks he’s a great striker and I want to see how great.

Them's fighting words! And this is going to be a great fight. It's going to be very interesting how these two guys match up standing and on the ground. Should be a classic.
