Nate is better than Nick

[migeru29]

Just rewatched both Diaz fights against Gomi. Please rewatch the fights and you tell me who is betrer, who won in more dominant fashion, who was a lot more accurate and who didn't suffer any damage and that was Nate

 

[PivotPunch]

The Nick fight was centuries ago it was a much better Gomi and a much younger Nick

 

[AceCooch]

they fought different Gomi's

Also Nick has fought harder competition, and in a real fight Nick would win from pure size

 

[CJohnny]

Not the best fight to compare, but yes.

Nate is better. Most won't admit this though. Nick didn't beat anyone good in a long time. In fact his best win is against Lawler when Lawler was a kid.

 

[Simian Raticus]

Well, Nate has been active at the top level since he got there, which is all that really matters in that comparison imo.

They are the same size and maybe Nate is a little bigger just check pics of both training. Nate sometimes looks a lot bigger . Both can fight lightweight or welterweight

 

[KarateYeah]

Not IMO. When Nate faced same competition as Nick in RDA, he got tooled.

They are just very different with different styles and strengths. Both are good.

 

[The MMA Patriot]

Both Diaz bros. have a weakness against leg kickers and it's less of a problem with Nick because he's a Southpaw

Nick is much bigger he is more muscular and stronger he didn't even look that small fighting Anderson at MW. Nate is in the same way bigger than Nick as he is bigger than Hunt

They are not different. They fight almost the same way.

 

[Rum]

Nate definitely does things Nick doesn't do and is overall more technically sound on the feet.

 

[Ruthless_RL]

Both are great fighters and the best boxers in the UFC.

 

[Sleepdancer]

Lol go ahead and pretend that's the same Gomi they fought.

They are very similar. To me Nate has better boxing defense, where Nick seems stronger mentally and goes to body A LOT more than Nate.

 

[PivotPunch]

They are not different. They fight almost the same way.

They are very different. Nick is a southpaw, Nate is an outifghter and counter at range, he jabs a lot and has a longer stance. Nick pressures goes to the body more and throws more combinations up close he's also physically stronger and fights rougher. They are pretty different fighters

Agree but Nate is also a southpaw

I agree Nate is better, but to say that Nick's wins over Gomi, Mach, and Daley aren't good wins is just crazy buddeh

 

[BeardotheWeirdo]

No one would've said this before the Conor fight.

Nick would destroy Conor...

Thinking about the logic behind this thread makes my head hurt

 

[Rygu]

Love Nate but if they fought at 170, Nick would take younger bro to school.

Those fighters won't do much against the current competition. Nick wins are not impressive, it's just the way it is.

I get that why a lot like him, but he is not nearly as good as some say.
