Nate Diaz is punchdrunk

[HHJ]

Nate has always had a speech impediment

Yes he has,but its clearly beyond that now. Its due to the blows taken.

 

[HHJ]

Josh Thompson's shin to the dome caused permanent damage.

I remember watching that fight.,and he ate two headkicks,and im like,even a diaz brother cant keep eating those. The third one put him down for good. You dont come outta that without some permanent damage.

 

[Tuf_guy]

Damn. This brings back memories of Nick's interview when let it be know he didn't enjoy fighting and felt guilty for getting his brother caught up in it, too.

 

[2GunTommy]

Conor definitely did permanent damage in those 2 fights.
It really would have been better if Nate got KOd in the first rd.

 

[boyer]

His speech isnt always real clear, but he is surprisingly witty. "Youre playing touchbutt in the park with that dork" was great.

 

[CerebralKnievel]

Its gotten worse over time. Cant deny that. I noticed it alot when he was doing the media for the Conor fights.

You're on steroids.

Lol he actually sounds pretty similar to how he did back then.

Nate's always had a speech impediment.

 

[Deleted member 460645]

Nate has always sounded that way.

Diaz bros don't have the greatest social skills whatsoever.

 

[HHJ]

Nate had given some itnerview last year,where he elaborated on being "trapped" into this sport. To sustain hes got to keep fighting one way ot another.

 

[Yung Dilla]

Nate has a speech impediment. Nick just had bad social anxiety. They talk fine when they're at kron Gracie's in Culver City. Nice dudes too

While that’s hard to deny, it’s quite plausible that he would be in much worse shape if he wasn’t regularly saturating his endo-Cannabinoid system...

This study proves that people with THC in their bodies have much better resilience to TBI’s aka Traumatic brain injuries.

That's exactly how he sounded ten years ago when he was on TUF in his early 20s.

 

[bigeastgi43]

He stutters. A lot of slurring.

He used to speak so much clearer back when he was on TUF. It sounds like he just has a hard time getting words out compared to before.



Not sure if it's all the weed or getting punched in the head.

Are you retarded? Weed doesn't fuck up your speech.

 

[PROlogic]

"Is Nate punch drunk?"

That is what happens when you fight Conor twice

Conor changed his bum life.

Punchdrunk + speech/language development issues

Definitely more of the weed and I think he thinks a whole lot more about what he's going to say these days.

Nick is the same way, he will go around the houses for 10 minutes trying to explain one point, most of the time feel like he's trying not to say something offensive.

 

[MGS]

I think the Diaz bros have always struggled to string simple sentences together. It's just gotten worse over time. But to be fair, didn't Nate say he didn't graduate high school?

You learn to speak clearly and construct sentences way before the end of high school tho

Sad fact of life guys: a lot of our mma heroes are just too tough for their own good.
