I thought Nate Diaz wasnt elite

[Koro_11]

Those guys you mentioned that beat nate, all won by mostly wrestling...pourier is a standup fighter. and trying to beat nate with pure standup is a tough night...same level is michael johnson?? you are aware he whooped johnson's ass, right?

Well there you have it, an elite fighter is not completely clueless when faced with wrestling or checking a leg kick.

I said he’s got a good shot at beating Poirier, but being a tough matchup for 1 or two guys in the top 10 who rely heavily on boxing doesn’t make him an elite fighter.

If you have beaten Conor, Cerrone, MJ, and Maynard, then you are elite.

Don’t be jelly.

By beating non elites he's somehow elite? Conor I'll give you, the rest you're stretching.
