I think you underestimate the strength difference, GSP is tall and very musculer.
Diaz is lean and tall, Sherk was shoveing Nick into the fence and Nick was useing technique to stop the takedown as well as a very low stance.
GSP took Sherk down easily.
If Nick is as flexable as Miller then maybe not, but if he is stiffer then I could see GSP useing his superior wrestling to get side control and Kimura the shit out of Nick.
Maybe not useing technical sups like armbars/kneebars but a power move like a Kimura would be tough for Nick to defend against.
Same goes for Hughes, especially after being softened up by the Elbows of Hughes and GSP.
