If Nate Diaz wins impressively

[robjenkins2]

Will your opinion of him change of him not being able to beat big, strong wrestlers going forward? Or will you still claim that he loses to any wrestler?

 

[GATES]

If he does win then all I want to see is him fight Melendez.

 

[faiq03]

hell never fight GIL, unless they got some personal beef happen between em

 

[faiq03]

I wanna see nate vs Pettis

 

[Raylan]

Depends on Bendo's game plan i guess. If he goes for a wrestling heavy fight and Nate dominated regardless then of course.

If Nate wins there will be one happy guy watching for sure.

Diaz boys have a much better chance against wrestlers in 5 rds than 3. Wasn't that always common knowledge?

Well, if he wins then nobody can claim that he loses to any wrestler. Right?

He already proved it when he beat Jim Miller. Jim is a like a pitbull who goes forward to pressure you and also has a wrestling base. The question now is if he can handle with an agile wrestler who can match his cardio, can do jumping kicks that hit hard, who is tough to submit and can follow the game plan well

Not my point, I mean will that perception change?

 

[spid3yo]

Since when is Ben Henderson considered a big strong wrestler?

Since Bocek and Miller, I think.

 

[Da Speeit]

I say give him a title shot!

Oh wait...

Agreed. They should do Maynard v. Diaz II if Diaz wins

Maynard vs Diaz 3. It might not be on their official records, but everyone knows that Nate tapped him on their first encounter on the ultimate fighter.

Why would Maynard care? If anything he should want Bendo to win

 

[Gun'n'Run]

Maynard vs Diaz 3. It might not be on their official records, but everyone knows that Nate tapped him on their first encounter on the ultimate fighter.

And everyone knows the judges robbed Diaz in the pro fight.

Only if Maynard beats the Pettis/Cerrone winner

 

[AzRich75]

If Diaz beats Henderson, Henderson immediately becomes NOT a wrestler that could test Nate just like Jim Miller became NOT a wrestler after Diaz beat him.

 

[Benjo87]

I'm interested to see what all these people that constantly put down Diaz and try to discredit his skills are gonna say

 

[Wanna Bet]

And everyone knows the judges robbed Diaz in the pro fight.

Nah. Rewatched the fight last week. Round one was extremely close although Maynard may have outlanded him by a small margin. Round two was all Maynard, even dropped Diaz. Round three was mainly Diaz, briefly dropping Maynard at one point but Diaz got rocked twice towards the last 1-2 mins of the round... still gave it to Diaz personally. I think Maynard looked like the better fighter that night but in a rematch I'd favour Nate with his added strength, relentlessness and the fact that it'd be 5 rounds.
