Nate Diaz is a steal vs Dustin Poirier @ UFC 230

[kammfreudenstei]

Would love Nate at these odds in a 5 rounder

 

[sonofjay817]

I'm a big believer in Nate and his ability to KICK ASS, but I heard him talking the other day and he sounded really really punchdrunk. I mean, I know he's always talked a little funny but it was on a different level. I couldn't hardly understand him.

 

[VVarhead]

@Njmma209 I like you, so I have to tell you that you're gonna lose money if you bet on Diaz in this fight.

 

[SHOKASE]

this is why i hate living in NY. Can't make money betting.

Who’s ready to make some $$ on Nate?
I haven’t gambled on any sports since last NFL season ended but this fight is gonna make me come out of gambler’s retirement.
Absolutely zero reason for Dustin to be -210, other than Nate coming off a 2 year layoff.

Why are people hyping Dustin so much right now? Just because he TKO’d the two kings of CTE, Alvarez and Gaejthe?
Remind yourselves that Alvarez and Gaejthe beat whatever was left of each other’s chin before Dustin faced them.

Dustin got slept by the last solid boxer he faced in Michael Johnson. Plus Dustin will be at the height/reach disadvantage this time vs Nate.

Nate might take a round to warm up, but he will take over and dominate come round 2. Either a TKO win for Diaz or a clear cut 29-28 UD.

couldnt agree more. and i like porier

nate gone get crushed there a reason he is 19-12. nate should just live of fthe conor fight and not come out of retirement.

Lol @ other than coming off a 2 year layoff

That is a lot

LOL this thread.

I'm a Diaz fan. 209 4 life.

Poirier wins rather easily. Might even stop Nate.

@Njmma209 I like you, so I have to tell you that you're gonna lose money if you bet on Diaz in this fight.

Other than the layoff, what’s your guys reason?

Nate just seems like a nightmare matchup for Dustin. Bigger, better chin, cardio machine and solid off his back while Dustin doesn’t have a smothering wrestling attack...

Plus the mental factor. Both times dustin got KO’d in the ufc i think it’s safe to say the emotions played a part. Conor and Michael Johnson both got in his head big time. I don’t see Dustin handling the Nate taunts and 1-2s well.

 

[HNIC215]

Nate is not stable enough as a human being to bet money on...

You never know which version shows up or how he’s going to train, behave etc...

Always bet on something stable and dependable...

 

[Filthy Phil]

I'm thinking that Nate gets severely fucked up.

Dustin is not an idiot. He will destroy Nates legs, wrestle him, and out-box him. If Dustin shows up fighting like a fool I got Diaz all day, but Dustin seems to have evolved past fighting emotionally and stupidly.

 

[JohnMandick]

I could see Nate winning. Probably 50/50 so a good bet.

 

[Mr. 4K]

Hmm I think you're biased. I can't put my finger on why doe.

Or Dustin goes full Carlos Condit?
The blue print is out there to beat Nate and Dustin has a title shot on a plate

Don't make a stupid bet

 

[xMaxPower]

agreed

only way dustin can win is if he picks up a solid leg kick game out of no where since theyre both southpaws.

 

[Ruhler]

What if Nate shows up in terrible shape like against RDA? He very well might since he clearly doesn't give a fuck about this fight. Dustin would kill an unprepared Nate.

 

[GreatWhiteBuffalo]

You guys are jaded by the Conor fight. Dustin has shown himself solid fight iq when he’s losing exchanges and is happy the change the course of the fight. See Duffy fight for ways to win. I’ll maintain that Duffy is a better version of Nate, so it’s a damn good measuring stick of what could happen.

 

[Bend NvR Break]

Nate is going to get beat up and TKO'ed. He's going to regret taking off these last 2 years and living a pothead's dream life.

 

[Kwic]

Dustin.

 

[christer]

Always smart to gamble on the very reliable Nate Diaz.
He adapts so well if a fighter has a gameplan for him. Would never get held down for extended periods of time or low kicked 500 times for instance.

 

[SalvadorAllende]

Poirier via TKO.

Nate was never that good. Gatekeeper at best.

 

[COBRA03]

I wouldn't bet on it, but I think Pornier should be the favorite. Nate hasn't been all that impressive in fights that don't include McGregor, and McGregor is not a WW. Sorry, not a Diaz brothers fan.
