Dude to his opponents? Fuck off you dumb ass! Nick doesn't the last three rounds against Condit standing there not doing anything. Well, until the end of the 5th when he got Condit down and was reversed right away
Against GSP he literally crawled away from the fight and didn't even attack off his back. Just went into defensive mode.
And Silva? Nick the aggressive pressure fighter turned into Nick the cautious counter striker. Hell, he even turned his back and ran from Silva in the 5th round
His brother would have lost the fights too, but at least Nate goes out swinging. Nick just gives up and does nothing but defense when he is outmatched
You’re emotionally invested in an exciting fighter you must hate on a fighting forum.
you can say you thought those guys won off scoring more shots. Gsp win by strictly control. Control time. Nick landed the best shots of the fight and hurt him. Stuffed most of his takedowns as the fight progressed and one of the few fights nick wasn’t bleeding as generally he’s bleeding on the ring walk.
inhave no problem with the winner. Condit abandoned everything he has ever done and didn’t engage and landed some light leg kicks. There is no winner in a fight like that. But nick should have got the call.
same as the Silva fight. Anderson just came off of Losing a title pumped up on steroids. And it was a close fight.
he’s never been outclassed in any fight. You can say Jeremy Jackson fight but nick was a teenager.
generally when you fight one of the greatest strikers of all time. And You walk forward. Taunt can’t get him to do any thing. For the majority of mins of the fight. You have to do something else.
Anderson is the bigger stronger faster guy with more power. Had nothing but respect for nick before during and especially after the fight.
I don’t even have a problem
With Silva winning that fight. Steroids or not. I thought nick won.
mma In a cage is a tricky thing. It’s an octagon and it’s massive. You can t cut it off. If a guy doesn’t want to engage. You can’t do a lot.
A ring with 4 corners you can cut it off.
a guy like Dominic Cruz realized this and his attributes. And can just move move move. It’s impossible to do that to a guy in an octagon and even in a ring. Where you can cut it off much much easier.
I’m fans of all guys mentioned. I’ve never seen nick outclassed but more importantly every fight he’s had is interesting due to his style. And as a fan. I don’t care about wins or losses. I only watch to be entertained and these guys fit the criteria.
saying Diaz hasn’t won a fight in x amount of years may be technically true. But it’s not indicative of the fighter he was or hopefully still is.
he fought 3 of the goats. Bj. Anderson and gsp. And condit who was a killer at the time as well.
all of those guys have extremely high praise as nick as a fighter.
you don’t. But I respect your opinion on his skills a lot more than those guys.
