Is Nate Diaz P4P the best short notice fighter?

[SamboRedBelt]

10 days Nate Diaz did what 2 week Mendes couldn't do.

If all fights in the UFC would be on 2 week notice, who would come up on top of the P4P chart? Who is the best out of shape fighter?

I'm not counting guys like Cowboy who're constantly training and are in shape but specifically guys who can literally roll off the couch and get the job done.

If none of the guys on the roster trained hard I can see guys like Nate Diaz who're more natural fighters than athletes being P4P greats.

No.

Get off his balls, fuck sake

No balance on here. Nate Diaz was considered a journeyman on here before his win over Conor. Suddenly he's the best thing ever.

Cowboy's pretty good.

 

[skolar182]

Cowboy's pretty good.

Was gonna say Cowboy, but you beat me to it. Not sure why he mentions "not talking about guys like Cowboy". Is TS implying "best couch potato on short notice"?

Nate was good on short notice, but I think Cowboy is always "camp ready". If you know what I mean.

 

[Chain Saw]

Benson Henderson.

What a thread

No. But Conor is one of the most overhyped UFC fightera in history.

 

[Biblical]

Tbh any 11 day notice Decent LW can beat Conor.

Props to Diaz for showing us that and having the balls.

 

[Jebe]

man, how do you juggle both Diaz's and Fedors nuts at the same time? you got 4 hands or something?

that being said, Diaz is a pretty good short notice fighter.

Mind blown!!!!

Lol. He beat Michael Johnson who was #7 or 8. He was making his way back to the top 5. He's a prize fighter, look at his resumé.

 

[Me&MrJones]

Mendes won the first round so he should've got an immediate rematch.

the wild spotted nuthugger needs nuts to survive. they thrive in warm salty environments. very interesting animal they are.

 

[what-wut]

Nate is top 5 lw and I'm a huge fan of him and his brother but they have holes in their games.

 

[Meathead Jock]

Before getting the title i'm pretty sure Weidman took 3 out of 4 fights on real short notice if memory serves me right. Including a win over Maia who has looked great as of late.

 

[HIMBOB]

Pretty much any guy who doesn't cut heaps of weight.

I'd say Benson. He would have tooled a lot of WW's if they didn't come prepared with good cardio and a very even game.

One of the most complete fighters going around and always ready.

5-10...at best

5-10 is about right

At best my ass, he is top five and he can beat anybody on any given day. He is elite level make no mistake about it.

White belt, those are called haters. You will be further acquainted with them.

 

[Goh]

Sometimes I come across a thread that's just so funny for no reason, wtf is this lmao

 

[what-wut]

Elite level...I can tell by his record. Nate is solid. How'd he go against Benson and RDA? He got demolished. Not even close. So if he is elite what are they?

Records lol , he has 6 loses at lightweight in 9 years fighting in the ufc 2 of those were split decisions. if he lost to RDA Benson it doesn't mean that he isn't elite level.
