Great, a new sherdog myth pops out.They were raised in Lodi. Not Stockton. Theyre full of shit.
Even in Stockton it isnt like everyone was raised on Wilson Way.
Lol, the Diaz brothers where fan favorites with some of the biggest followings in the sport long before Conor showed up.Yeah thanks to Conor, half of Nate's fans are casual/Conor's haters
Lol, Conor chose Nate, not Dana and it was because on paper he was the lowest risk as well as the most likely to sell big with only 10 days to promote.Still thanks to RDA pulled out ,Conor still want to fight (Conor could pulled out like most fighters) and Dana chose him as a replacment (which means luck), it not like he earned it.
Also your post has nothing against my post, Nate was lucky he could fight Conor and still half of his fans came from those fights.

Diaz grew up in a small, one-story house in Lodi, just north of Stockton.
Thats an MMA crossover I wanna see...diaz bros and Masvidal just hanging out..
I wonder if they will hate eachother...west coast street vs east coast street.
Nate and Nick are irrelevant and without Conor or Gsp they are still 60k show/60k win fighters, dont get it wrong... they are not draws by themselves. Jorge is starting to get leverage and become known because he put up the hard work.Look. The truth is the Diaz brothers have been way ahead of the game. They seem to be the only fighters who understand this is prize fighting. Mugs like Horhey Mastival are fighting for peanuts while both Nick and Nate are taking home $1m+ paydays.
Even now, you have Khabib and his coaches talking about being interested in the Nate fight after last weekends altercation.
Meanwhile, wanna be Jorge is picking fights with fucking Leon Edwards.
You got it exactly backwards TS.
Lmao you speak of Stockton as if it was fucking 8 mile, East st louis, Harlem, Trenton, Compton or San Salvador.... people make fun about how Stockton is nowhere near close to those truly rough cities.I don't think Diaz Bros "pretend" to be anything. If you've ever been to Stockton, everyone is like that . Tough, gritty, don't put up with bs. I grew up there and everyday either walking to school, the store, friends, or wherever you gotta worry about getting shot at, jumped, robbed, etc...
Everyone is pretty much like the Diaz Bros in Stockton, it's like you have to be like that to survive.
Even the author you quote considers them born and raised in Stockton.STOCKTON, Calif. -- If there is a way to summarize the lasting effect Nate Diaz's hometown has had on him, it's that it taught him this: Always be all the way in when it comes to a fight.
That might sound like an obvious lesson, one that doesn't necessarily require growing up in Stockton to figure out...
Diaz brothers are try-hards. I’d imagine them ganging up on some one but one on one Masvidal is the real deal . He’s a loner who doesn’t need a whole posse to intimidate someone. He doesn’t talk shit that much, doesn’t go around flipping people off, mean mugging. He just comes over with his hands behind his back with a smile and does his things.Funny, the Diaz brothers look way more authentic and "real" than Masdival to me.

Wikipedia does too. Hell, everybody except.....you.
You thought the world of MMA was duped by the Diaz brothers and, after all those years, you came to shed light in this conspiracy?

Sure thing random sherdoger. I'm taking, good, clear notes of what you have to say.Huh? It doesnt really matter. Its a fact of reality he was raised in Lodi, just like I said.
Hate to burst your bubble. But its true. He wasnt raised in Stockton. Now, a lot of this probably has to do with the fact that I live in the 209 and I know the difference. And I know the neighborhoods in Stockton and even people that knew them growing up.
That doesnt mean he didnt go to Stockton, or hang there. But no matter what its not the same thing as being raised there. You dont get the street cred when you go home to sleep in a different town.
Lol, you can't be serious? Sure Nate was 60/60 for a while on a contract he signed because of the large up front signing bonus he got but Nick never was and you're delusional if you actually believe they were never in the top 10% popularity wise, maybe even top 5.Nate and Nick are irrelevant and without Conor or Gsp they are still 60k show/60k win fighters, dont get it wrong... they are not draws by themselves. Jorge is starting to get leverage and become known because he put up the hard work.

It was signed but fell apart for some reason, they already agreed to do it.Iirc, Nick has been very complimentary of Masvidal in the past. Praising his boxing and his style.
If anyone can lure Nick Diaz from his self-imposed exile of perpetual boredom it is probably someone like Masvidal.
It's a fight i'd love to see.

Robbery.
