Has Nate ever fought someone taller and with a longer reach than him?

[Seismic]

Conor's fought Nate and Max, both taller than him and Poirier the same size. Has Nate ever had the guts to do that or has he always walked around at 210, beating on midgets at 155?

 

[Readybodisready]

No he hasn't. He's like a young Jon Jones but because he says the F word a lot he's loved for it.

Why don't you look it up, man ?

I don't grasp how this is thread worthy.

Making more excuses for Connor.

No wait

These are the same excuses.

Yer right doe... Little Connor should go down and fight somebody his own size.... Edgar for example...

Quack

You mean Nate Diaz? Most of the fighters he fought at welterweight were bigger than him. And height or length, I think Rory Macdonald may have had him beat.

Reach and height are bigger advantages than pure weight. Nate boy has always had these advantages and usually by a lot. He's not as badass as you all think he is.

 

[AceCooch]

Rory was much bigger than Nate, thus he dropped down to fight smaller people...

He isn't so much "bigger" than most of his opponents as he is "taller" but on these threads nobody gets that

 

[Harlekin]

Has Conor ever won a fight against a heavier guy on fight night? NO

 

[The Beast Within]

Nate is going to get his ass beat

 

[Rubberman1]

Nate Diaz been beating on midgets most of his career. But its ok if he makes the weight. Whatever advantage u can get, take.

lol you fucking goof

 

[what-wut]

210? lol

Just gonna leave this here.

Conor - 5'9" with 74" reach

Brimage - 5'4 with 71" reach
Holloway - 5'11" with 69.5" reach - Max is a twig next to Conor, at least 5lbs of muscle difference
Brando - 5'7" with 69" reach
Dustin - 5'9" with 72" reach - Conor has a reach advantage, and was probably at least 2-3lbs heavier when they fought
Siver - 5'7" with 70" reach
Mendes - 5'6" with 66" reach
Aldo - 5'7" with 70" reach - Worth noting that Aldo was commonly thought to be the heaviest FW, but was at least 2-3lbs smaller than Conor, as well as shorter and has less reach. He's smaller in every metric.


So yes, Conor is bigger than everyone else at 145. It's a fact. The only person taller than him was Max, and he's not as heavy, or rangey. The only other person close is Dustin and he has a shorter reach, and was a tad lighter.

Point stands - when outside of 145, his size advantage disappears completely, and with Nate in particular, he's no longer the Southpaw.

LOL a guy on TUF, who had no pro fights at the time.

 

[IIIIIIII]

why even make this thread, when you can say the same thing about conor?

 

[$uicideboy$]

pretty funny actually how he gives conor shit for fighting "midgets" but hes like 6'2 HW height and starves himself (looks like a twig) to fight at LW

Is this a Nate beat Conor cause he taller excuse thread lol ? Everyone who beat Nate was shorter than him expect Rory lol.

These guys still beat Nate so cut the excuses out.
