This.
Its not that i dont think hes a good fighter (i dont even know if id like to call him good) i just think his success has been due to fighting poor competition, or fighters that have underperformed against him and made stupid mistakes (guillard, and especially pelligrino)
I dont like him as a person though i do enjoy watching him fight, i cant wait to see him get absolutely smashed by high level competition if the UFC ever puts him in there with them. [/quote]
you don’t like him as a person? didn’t realize you knew him.
i can never understand people who “can’t wait til he gets smashed”. are you really that sad? why exactly does that bring you happiness? because you know you can never get to where he has gotten to and a slight upset in his career makes you feel all warm inside? or maybe you would beat the “poor competition” that he has.
he’s a scrawny bastard but he and his brother can fight. he flexes not because he’s got muscles but because he could and would wreck the majority of cats walking around much bigger than himself. I think some of us on T-Nation w/ muscles feel uneasy about the fact that that skinny cat would but our lights out.
i like watching the Diaz brothers but that sure as fuck doesn’t mean i want to hang out them!
Nate Died? Who’s nate? What’s his last name. And you spell “dies” weird.
Anyway seriously, I think it’s the Rocky Balboa effect from ROCKY III when Rocky found out his trainer was feeding him easy meat and he wasn’t being put up against anything REAL tough (like Mr. T lol).

NO SHIT … REALLY A guy that is a trained fighter could take me a completely inexperienced guy, wow what a revelation. i don’t recall saying anything about being able to take him, it just looks fucking retarded regardless. i, for the record am certainly not one of those guys that thinks because i am big that i am tough. and i fully agree that anyone that does think that way is an idiot.

i would also like 2 see him face sum1 decent. he def needs to be checked and put in his place. i wouldnt mind havin a go with him…if he smashes me, il shut up lol.
I personally really like the Diaz Bros. They are entertaining, Nate has a lisp, I have a stutter, they are both skinny (see name) and they have different styles. While he might not be in the top 5 LWs in the UFC, Nate is only 24, and I would not be surprised to see him with the belt somewhere down the line. Also, the smoke a lot of pot <3
That was dumb putting him on the main event of the Fight Night. He got served by a rusty Joe Stevenson and Melvin Guillard was released from jail a while back, good one Joe Silva. Huerta should’ve been the main event but he continues getting screwed over.
I am a Nick Diaz fan though, he kills it in the ring (and cage). Non-stop, tough scrapper. A competitive tri-athlete as well but it carries over well into his fighting career.

Oh sorry, I will never do it ever again. Tell me any time I do something you don’t like, I really appreciate it.

Completely false, that was the best Joe Stevenson we’ve seen in a long time. The time he spent with Greg Jackson gave Stevenson a new chance in the LW division.

Seriously?
Anyways, I’d really like to see Maynard take him on again. Maynard has improved a lot and I know that Maynard will definitely stuff Nates takedowns. No way Nate can handle Maynards standup. Guillard had something going and then made a mistake. You dont make mistakes with a Gracie fighter.
As far as Nate getting wrecked, put him up against one of the top 5 guys in the LW’s and your wish will be granted. I think Sherk and K-flo will smash him. He’s got at least 5-6 fighters to go through before he should even be considered to fight BJ.
