Let me guess...TS was 8 when this fight happened?
 
I miss full head of hair and bearded up Lawler
 
The great part about this fight was that Nick was relatively unknown, and at that, was only thought of as a BJJ fighter. Robbie was a killer on the feet, 8-1, with 6 KO's, so it was insane at the time when Nick was going toe-to-toe with him.
 
The way Lawler fell when he got KO'd is still hilarious to me
 
Kinda sad that even a decade + later, this is still probably Nick's signature win. Certainly makes the top 3 (if we count the Gomi fight).
 
Joe Rogan was all over Nick's nut sack in those days, but yeah, one of my all time favorite fights. Huge fan of both guys

'Nick Diaz is taaaaaalkin'

'Steve Mazagatti is telling Nick Diaz to stop talking, I didn't know that was in the rules'

Robbie getting wobbled in the first round and go full fucking alpha, fists shaking and all, is one of the greatest mooments in MMA history
