Hazlett vs. Diaz would be amazing.

by av1o3 on Jul 10, 2010 10:27 PM EDT up reply actions  

yeah hazlett vs lil diaz would be a good fight
pretty sure the rest of those guys would beat nate up

nate had problems with the wrestlers at lw so he moves to mw which is the most wrestler heavy div in the ufc. if he makes it to the top tier in this division he will get smashed

Diaz also had trouble with carrying too little muscle mass on his frame at 155. He’s like Nick in that their ideal weights are somewhere between two weight classes.

easy on the fighter bashing, buddy.

just cause he talks like that doesn’t mean he’s stupid.

Forget it Donny, you're out of your element.

How much formal education do you think the diaz bros have? Nick was in the UFC at 21—these guys ain’t collegiate. Add in Nate’s speech impediment and I think you might be over-speculating a bit.

Nate finished Highschool

Nick didn’t.

Watching sason 5 of TUF, Nate comes off as a nice polite dude, unless you “mean mug” him.
He don’t like them “dirty looks”

So very true and so obvious to me also watching Nate back then until now

Nick and Nate seemed to be total polar oppoisites back then atleast when it came to the way each used the English language and the difference in there socializing skills. Sence that time Nate has become more popular he has picked up a bad case of what is ebonics in his vocabulary and almost seems to like to sound uneducated unpurpose at times to me. You can just watch interviews with him from a few yearsa ago and to see the change is his personality. Like he forced himself to embrace the sterotype and this image of what fans thought a Diaz brother should be and act like even though his personality was not that way.

Well it’s good to hear Caesar Gracie’s team has good “Work Ethnic”. I like Nate a lot as a fighter but I don’t see a career in the broadcast booth after retirement. Good thing public speaking has nothing to do with fighting ability. I wonder if Chael Sonnen knows this?

i would love to see this guy get knocked out

Straight shooter

he gives Davis some respect. He’s not trying to b.s. “hate” in order to hype the fight. The kid’s refreshing.

The UFC should bring Karo back to fight Nate. Their near-fight on TUF still hasn’t gotten old.

The Canadian Interviewer is hillarious

This interviewer, with his Radio Shack microphone setup, never ceases to bring a smile to my face, while making me think of South Park’s portrayal of Canadians. He makes the South Park creators look like the geniuses they are.

by Organ-Donor on Jul 11, 2010 5:39 AM EDT reply actions  

I think Davis takes this fight. Just a gut feeling.

And then God created Saturn... and he liked it, so he put a ring on it.
Twitter me and what not.

by James Brady on Jul 11, 2010 6:04 AM EDT reply actions  

instead of bashing him i'll say

nate had alot of problems with wrestlers at lightweight
so he moved up to welterweight which in my opinion is the most wrestler heavy division in the ufc. based solely on his record against wrestlers i’ll have to say he’ll never make it in the top tier at 170.

by Johnathan Willis on Jul 11, 2010 9:34 AM EDT reply actions  

Never

is a long time, Nate is still a kid, kinda hard to write him off forever…

Not online. Its pretty easy.

by B.H. Farnsworth on Jul 11, 2010 4:00 PM EDT up reply actions  

I was thinking the same thing myself, he is so young. 10 years from now he might be an all-time great. If he greatly improves his wrestling and gradually improves the other aspects of his game he would be incredibly tough for anyone at 155 to beat. As it is, you pretty much know you aren’t gonna finish him.

by B.H. Farnsworth on Jul 11, 2010 4:03 PM EDT up reply actions  

I wonder if he's gonna trade with Davis?

If he gets it to the ground, somehow, I think he taps him pretty quickly.

by B.H. Farnsworth on Jul 11, 2010 3:08 PM EDT reply actions  

I think he'll try

Probably box at a distance, but will look to get it to the ground where he’s at his best. I see Diaz winning. Not easily, but winning.

My Top Ten Favorite Fighters

1. Nick Diaz
2. Fedor
3. Carlos Condit
4. Jake Shields
5. Gilbert Melendez
6. Gegard Mousasi
7. Anderson Silva
8. Nate Diaz
9. Kenny Florian
10. Melvin Manhoef

by MasterWhiteTiger on Jul 11, 2010 5:35 PM EDT up reply actions  

he may have a good chin against the LW’s but the WW fighters have bigger frames and are alot stronger. I do see him beating davis in a long boring decision but he likes to block punches with his face to much to beat guys like hardy, condit or swick. He could have a good career but far from being an all time great him or his pot head brother.
