Is Nick Diaz's BJJ any good? Which fight should I watch?

Yes, he had some bjj matches on YouTube, they are pretty good

Gomi and cyborg comes to mind

 

[dieknowsore]

bj pen is one of the only fighters to trap people's arms when getting the RNC, dunno we don't see that more often.

 

[Shael]

Watch his fight with Renzo Gracie

I haven't seen the ones on YouTube. I was pissed though when he pulled out of the tournament in Long Beach

 

[dontreallycare]

Where is the wrestler in that gif?

Isn't GSP a wrestler?

 

[Jesse Pinkman]

First ever non Brazilian to win black belt at the mundials. Impressive

 

[El Chimpo]

See, i would expect somebody called /known as the BJJ prodigy, to be able to sub a wrestler.

because GSP is so easily subbable?

I was looking forward to that as well

Matt Hughes. I don't want to turn this into an argument. LOL

I'm starting to think TS didn't do his homework.

That "wrestler' was also 20 pounds heavier, also a BJJ black belt, and was greasy as fuck :wink:

I hate homework. That's why I came here. :wink:

Forgot about Greasegate

I know they call him the prodigy because he evolved so fast. He's really good, don't get me wrong. But I think his BJJ was overrated. I've been skimming a few vids and what impresses me the most is his flexibility. I think people may have mistaken that as great BJJ, when in fact, it's just great flexibility.

Nick Diaz's BJJ impresses me more than BJ's.

Thoughts? Why were people so impressed with Bj's BJJ?

I'm in no way trying to knock him, btw. He's was one of my favorite fighters.

Then perhaps you should check out his first fight against Matt Hughes, or his fight against Takanori Gomi.

 

[gameclucks]

I think his BJJ was overrated.

In MMA, he has fought a ton of fights at 170lbs and higher.

In BJJ, he fought at 135.

This should help you understand, as I'm sure you have felt the difference that strength and size makes when wrestling and doing BJJ.

 

[SuperNerd]

TS should go watch the Pulver fight after TUF.

BJ straight trolls Pulver with his BJJ, like he did all season. No respect for Pulver at all.

Will do. If I can find them
