He looks like Kareem Abdul Jabar in Game of Death.

He and Kendall Grove should fight.

Sick. I hope Pride gives Diabate another chance. All he needs is a ground game.

Maybe Cage Rage should give him another chance so he can go back to getting subbed there instead of taking up space on Pride cards, getting his ass kicked to pad a star's record.

He has everything but time to train,becaus ein France you can't be paid to train except in Football,judo,boxing and those French tv aired sports...He has a job and is a student in languages I think ....IMO he should pack some muscles and fight at HW to be full force,but I remember he told me he was naturally thin and that it was hard for him to gain weight.

Actually, I was very impressed by this guy. I thought he was definitely getting the better of the standup and even appeared to stagger Shogun on a few occasions. Shogun was having major problems with Diabate's insane reach (both punching AND kicking). If this guy could develop a decent TD defense and a little BJJ ground knowledge he might have a chance. I'd like to see him again.

While his long limbs help his striking they would probably be a liability on the ground. With that being said, he did very well on his feet against Shogun.
