Diaz isn't going to give perry the time of day.
So you think bringing up Perry's success against someone who's "not even close" to Nate's grappling, is relevant? Then try to blame it on my comprehension because your point is shit lol
Wrong. I would put money on this fight if made. Nate - chin up in the air, slow. Perry power for days...I see this completely different. I think Perry would decimate him.I literally can’t think of a single pro fighter on earth better suited for Nate. Technically inferior, fights emotional, doesn’t wrestle, cardio issues, primarily boxes, takes one to give one, doesn’t at all mind going against cage and charging straight at person... yeah that sounds like a nightmare for a Diaz brother haha. I like Perry but he is tailor made for a Diaz highlight reel.
No way, short strikers of historically done poorly against Diaz brosHonestly I don't think Nate will be able to take Perry down unless Perry is hurt or gassed. Perry showed really underrated grappling and wrestling in his fights so far. He's also strong as hell. Gall is legit on the ground and Perry dominated him there.
Nate is the favorite but he is very hittable. I think it's a competitive fight.

Nate beat conor and the rest you mentioned were also wrestlers/grapplers. Just point that out lol, to group them up as "short strikers" seems dumbWhat about Thompson, RDA, Henderson, Sean Sherk, Sanchez, Conor...
Again, my response was, what makes you think Gall is close to Nates level, you said he's not, so wtf does it matter what he did against Gall lol. Nate taps him out if it goes to the ground at any point in that fight for an extended amount of timeIt's a MMA contest, not a grappling match, dummy.
It's relevant because Perry dominated a BJJ black belt in Mickey Gall on the ground.
Gall is a Gracie BJJ black belt under 6th degree black belt David Adiv. And Perry dominated Gall on the ground.
So that goes to show you that Perry might be good enough to at least survive on the ground with Nate. I'm not saying Perry is gonna armbar Nate. But Perry can win a decision.
So your reading comprehension still sucks.

I'm kinda on the same boat as well.Not feeling it.
Perry is way below Nate’s level in both ability and name value. Fight doesn’t make sense at all.
I also wanted a Masvidal rematch. And don’t get me wrong, I’d totally watch Diaz vs Perry, I’m not saying it would suck lol. It just isn’t a fight that makes sense to book IMO.I'm kinda on the same boat as well.
Perry is a fun character though, I'll give him that. I like it when he dances in the cage* (saw some gifs a week ago or so).
Maybe he could cause a cut and force the doc to stop it, who knows, but otherwise I can't see him being a serious threat.
I really wanted the rematch vs Masvidal but when that got out of the window, just "meh" all around.
Edit:
*chicken-dance included of course x)

All I said was they weren't just strikers. They all were better on the ground than Perry. Maybe you're right tho,because if Nate can't get him down I do see some issues. Who knows though, I do want to see the fight thoDo you even watch MMA? Jesus christ
The ONLY reason why Nate beat conor is that conor gassed. When they both have the same conditioning, Conor batters Nate on the feet, easily. Obviously that was a legit and amazing win by Nate, but we all know that Conor is the better striker, and we saw it in the rematch when conor dropped Nate 3 times.
The "wrestler/grapplers" that I mentioned all out-struck nate and nick on the feet lmao. Did you not see RDA vs Nate? Nate was literally like an injured Gazelle on the feet in that fight. Did you not see Josh Thompson head kick KO Nate?
