I didn't rewatch the fight. Diaz was never elite IMO. He still hasn't evolved as an MMA fighter.
 
I have never in my life seen someone say Nate could beat Khabib. What are you talking about?
 
I saw it once. No point in rewatching it. Diaz got ran through.

You've been here for 2 years at least. It's about time you realize style makes fight.

Plus nobody ever claimed Diaz would beat Khabib.
 
You can't sleep on Nate's boxing. But when you have the tools to beat him it looks easy.
 
RDA is a bad matchup for Diaz, strong grappler who mixes things up with leg kicks and takedowns and have great submission defense. Plus Pre USADA RDA was like the terminator and had cardio for days (he still has good cardio tho)

He only does well if people want to stand with him, otherwise his posture, balance, and lack of leg coordination play a huge factor.
 
Tony is basically Nate 10x. Better overall striking, even better cardio, better subs, actually decent wrestling.

He would fucking murder Diaz if they ever fought. Would beat up his big brother too.
 
fight happened over 3 years ago.

Let that sink in.

Diaz Is in his prime. He's close to Nick than he's ever been.

Sorry, but I will never judge a fighter based on fights that happened 3-5 years ago. It's just a silly way to analyze fighters but sherdog Is In love with this type of logic.

that said, I think we seen the best version of Nate at 170. His strict vegan diet, calorie restriction and cut isn't the best thing for his body type imo.

that fight would be very close my man.

Sleeping on Nate Is stupid.

He has some of the best boxing at either lw or WW and I'd give him the edge In grappling over Tony as well. Tony Is unorthodox and more dangerous / crazy In some ways when It comes to his grappling..but that doesn't mean anything when It comes to someone who Is superior to you In the bread and butter.

Tony's striking Is literally some of the most overrated shit I have ever seen. He is versatile but he's not good at anything. No offence to him but I take striking seriously and he's just not impressive. He moves forward with his chin up in the air, hands down and hes sloppy as all hell. He gets dropped by almost everyone he fights.

People love to say "oh this guy would just run through him easily" People love to say things like that, nobody Is actually analyzing the fights though..because you are all a bunch of keyboard warriors with zero experience and zero fight IQ.
 
I dont think nate can win. but it might be a good scrap. two totally different styles.
i just want to see the look on nates face after a couple rounds

Nate is not better grappling at all. Tony has better wrestling and submissions.

Diaz's plodding forward and taunt your opponent into brawling with him boxing is also incredibly overrated and most that dont fall into that trap run over him.

We've seen Nate completely and totally ruined too many times for me to take him seriously in this discussion and his weaknesses are noth well known and easily exploited.

Again, I don't think It would be wise to judge a fighter based on fights that happened 3+ years ago. Especially when said fighter wasn't In their physical / mental prime. Sorry, that anaylsis just doesn't work.

Tony's grappling Is more unorthodox, crafty and sneaky, he's unique In his approach. When It comes to bread and butter jiu jitsu Nate Is a superior black belt and It isn't even close. The crazy shit will be effective against less proficient grapplers, someone who's just generally a superior grappler to you though..It's not going to work. In that sense, It really comes down to the bread and butter jiu jitsu.

Nate's boxing currently Is worlds above Tony, and I wouldn't really rate Tony's kicks and elbows on the feet to be that impressive. He has many tools but again he's not all that great at any of them

If this fight happened, It would be far closer than you seem to think. Nate Is not an easy fight for anyone and It's silly to think otherwise.

Personally, I think that would actually be a good fight for Nate. A close fight, a war, but a good fight for him nonetheless.
 
Style makes fight!

Nate can beat Tony and Conor, not Khabib, Khabib can beat Conor and Nate, Tony can beat Khabib, it goes around
