You are correct based upon simple facts
Lawler: 43 fights including 8 fights since Nate Diaz fought Anderson Silva in 2015
Nate Diaz: 35 fights including zero fights since 01-31-2015
Lawler at his best was better than Diaz at his best, but Lawler currently seems well past his prime. Lawler has lost 5 out of his last 6 fights. Nate is past his prime, but he might not have degraded as much given the lesser wear and tear over the last 6 years. Since we've not seen him fight in a long time, we really have no way of knowing his current fight abilities. If I was Robbie, I would attack the lead leg since Diaz isn't one to normally check kicks, use kicks to control distance (push, front and oblique), stick and move and over the top counters when Nick is coming forward while throwing jabs.
You have no idea what you're talking about and know nothing about fighting you clown. The worst is when newbs like you have the audacity to speak arrogantly like you have a clue
You don't even know what it means to "over the top counter" his jab. Don't repeat buzzwords you don't understand
1st of all, not only has Lawler NEVER EVER been known for 2 countering jabs (he holds a high guard, and if you hold rear guard to high it takes your 2 out of position, plus Lawlor prefers to catch and shoot from high guard), but even ignoring how clueless you are, NO, Lawlor would never want to outside slip Nate's jab
Outside slip will put his rear shoulder further away, meaning his 2 will have more distance to travel off the counter
Nick will either stuff his 2 with his jab (Lawler loading up the weight on the back leg off the outside slip) stuff Lawlor's counter 2 with double jabs, or have more then enough time to jab and bring his jab back to guard to block/catch
The only thing you stumbled upon was leg kicks, which everyone already knows about Nick
You clearly have no idea how fights actually work, how Lalwor even fights, and know nothing about fighting
Spend less time typing and watching bozos on youtube, and spend more time learning and reading books
The only facts to this match up is that:
1. Lawlor is a reactive fighter who back himself to the fence, and love to catch and counter from a high guard
2. Nick wants to put you to the fence with his jab, step in, position his head under the chin, lift to break posture and work the body. It's going to be that against Lawlor's catch and counters from high guard. Realistically speaking, expect a classic phone booth war in where Nick can probably overhwelm Lawlor (land combinations with his single shots) and gas him to the body
UNLESS Lawlor adopts the "Woodley gameplan" of circling (circling away from Nick's jab) Nick isn't half as good as Nate and had terrible ring cutting
