Nate fight IQ:

Note how Strickland recklessly jumps in and risks punching himself out, while Nate shows restraint and surveys the situation before doing anything foolish

Can you phrase this in the form of a question? Not sure what it is you’re really trying to discuss here.

Just two different approaches to take when you've rocked your opponent and which style is more effective and shows better fight IQ.

I added some commentary to clarify.

Nate wasted energy and pointed. While being gassed. Was happy with a moral victory. Our boy Strickland had the gas.

So we're shitting on guys who go for the kill now?

If he had pointed at Izzy and laughed first it would have been forgiven

Yes, Nate came away with a great, moral victory due to his sound strategy, while Strickland faces an uncertain future. Who is his next opponent? When is his next fight? He now has loads of pressure on him. Nate clearly made the better decision.

No one has ever claimed that either Diaz brother fought with any semblance of fight IQ.

Still, when they were good they were riveting.

Nick vs Daley
Nate vs Cowboy
Nate vs Maynard
Nate vs Conor 1

I see what you are saying, my UFC friend. However, I phrase as Strickland is more #risktaking mentality vs Nate who is #calculated in every move he make inside and out of octagon cage.

Essentially #conservative vs more #liberal argumentation with regard to risk taking behavior. Conservative Nate saves brain cell but risky and liberal Strickland win belt. It is indeed tradeoff.

Nate Diaz delivered the punch at final minute of the 5th round. There really wasnt any energy to be save later for.

While Sean poured it on in in the end of first trying to take the weakened champ out of there. Ultimately he ended up taking the second round off but had great energy for rest of the fight.

.....Im getting trolled here am I?
