Nate Diaz has lost 2 inches in height in the last 2 months.

Hes shrinking at the same rate Rousey is widening

 

[Sgt Smith]

Shane Carwin diet. Much better results than Dolce.

 

[Wadtucket]

And yet his significant strikes and grappling stats have remained the same

 

[Ganzel]

Nice catch ts

 

[Vikassi]

He was taller than McGregor at the conference today. Lifts?

 

[Sgt Smith]

Dana probably made him cut 2 inches out of his shins to be closer in height to Conor.

 

[sidecheckkick]

They're making Diaz cut height for Conor part of the deal

 

[Ron Rousseau]

He thought the fight was going to be at 155 so he probably started cutting height on short notice

 

[Doog Doogson]

I have a masters in orthopedic shoes and can confirm he did indeed lose 2 inches.

 

[Ar145984]

LOL HES CUTTING HEIGHT FOR THE FITE ISNT THIS MEME SO FUNY XD!!

 

[Dorkman]

And yet his significant strikes and grappling stats have remained the same

Why would his stats based on percentages over his entire UFC tenure change from a 1 fight sample size in a 21 fight ufc career? if it did change, it'd be by tiny amounts at best.

 

[WouldNotBang]

He was in the pool!

 

[Davemeddlehed]

What's wierd is that none of Diaz' stats changed, even strikes per min etc etc etc. Also, it looks weird that Conor has the C for Champion in there, and Nate is listed as #5 when this fight takes place in neither of the weight classes where either of those things are true.

 

[CombatCyborg]

He has to cut height to make 170.

 

[subhuman trash]

Pitiful mistake on UFC's part. He made Conor look tiny today.

To be fair, it does seem odd considering he landed more significant strikes against Michael Johnson than in his previous 5 fights combined.

EDIT: Just collected the numbers and Diaz landed 854 significant strikes in his 20 UFC fights prior to fighting MJ. He landed 153 against MJ, which is about 18% of his previous total. They must not have taken it into account.
854 / 20 = 42.7
854 + 153 = 1007
1007 / 21 = 47.9

 

[Lanx]

Or you'll lose inches

Best campaign eva

Carwin would be proud.

That's some proper WWE sell-the-fight adjusting there.
