Favorite Nick Diaz Fight?

[BEATDOWNS]

The Frank Shamrock BEATDOWN!

 

[BFoe]

The Frank Shamrock BEATDOWN!

The Scott Smith one was even worse. Nick’s boxing in that fight is so nasty.

 

[BEATDOWNS]

Against Joe Hurley (Lion's Den) for the inaugural WEC welterweight title.

Ken Shamrock was requiring the Wolverine cut of his fighters at the time:

Steve "Heath" Gracie?

Nick drops Joe early.

Then takes him down and wrecks his shoulder.

And gets a kiss:

Diaz vs The Wildman Thomas Denny

I am upset that it's not on the list would have been my pick. lol

Diaz bodywork underrated still baffles me how little body shots we see these days. Can fold guys so easily that way.

 

[ChangeIsComing]

Gomi/Daley, both were very exciting fights.

 

[Here's Johnny!]

I'm glad we mostly all agree it's his comeback win against Paul Failey

Throwing a punch to the body opens up your face more so when elbows are allowed when you are close

 

[Tito Tapped]

Gomi and Daley are fucking all time classics.

He really put a beating on Frank though, I remember that being fun.

So many bangers

 

[Erimo]

BI one reminded us the classic catalysis of a Diaz moment. I really miss those type of feeling.

 

[SamuraiBro]

I go back and rewatch the Paul Daley scrap from time to time

 

[smalliebiggs]

vs Robbie 2

 

[dildos]

Lawler rematch.

 

[HHJ]

It's a tough one, he's had so many amazing fights, but I gotta go with Gomi.

Gomi destroyed the shit out of Nick's eye but Nick's mama didnt raise no bitch.

 

[Colemanstove]

Daley or Gomi is the only answer.

 

[sonhow]

Gomez, Daley or Zaromskis

 

[Pequeño Corey]

I went Gomi. That fight had it all. Hadoukens and gogos.

Would have also picked Daley if I could pick two.

 

[Lee Danger]

He turned a natural born killer into a point fighter while taunting the MW goat, smashing the once LW GOAT, but did have a boring snooze fest with the WW GOAT.

Nick was that one guy who was surpassed by the game: his volume boxing and bjj were more than enough pre 2010 but it become average after.
He spent in EliteXC/Strikeforce that timeframe when youngers fighters with a better skillset were emerging and when he stop fighting tailormade/old opponents he quit winning.

Still a legendary fighter, he fought and won everywhere in his younger days but he managed to protect himself a bit too much for my tastes in the later part of his career.

IN for Daley and Gomi
