Well, at the time, b.j was a lightweight but Nick saying "he's at the top" is kind of silly.Is he a "needle mover" yes but still, he needs to layoff the hydro..
No, he's a LHW.
But he won the Condit fight you goof.
And his last fight is a NC going up a weight class and going vs the GOAT of that division. (other champs didn't dare to do it)
Context and all that is nice to have.
then Mark Hunt is a middleweight
That lost to a MW in Diaz?
He LOST against Condit, and going up in weight to fight the GOAT of a division who hasn't had a single win in the last 3 years (4 losses, 1 NC)...isn't so great. Esp. not great at all when you realize the NC against Nick would have been Silva's only win in 5 fights.
Context is nice to have.
Mr. Diva should at least get himself a top ten winThen no title shot for Nick Divaz.
Nick Diaz is a LW...
It's hilarious how some people can spin things into an argument that suits their side of things. Some people on Shedog claim BJ Penn is P4P one of the best fighters ever. They say he fought at LHW b/c he wasn't scared of anyone and that a win against him is a HUGE feather in your cap.
Then this guy comes along and claims he's some random FW to try to discredit Diaz. I for one don't care as much and Wins and Loses. I find Nick exciting both inside and outside the cage. I'd rather watch him fight than half these other WWs.
Ah, that's right.Nick Diaz is a LW...
Nick is WW
Nate is LW
BJ is LW (well by modern standards 145 lbs to be more precise)
Would have been an excellent fight. Bias aside I think Gunnar takes a 3 round fight.They offered him Gunnar which would have been a fun fight but Nick Divaz turned it down.
Oh you are one of those..
Even Condit knows he lost that fight and deep down he regrets it.
I do agree Nick needs a win before going for tittles, he really needs a fight/win to shake the rust and get the moral/mojo back.
Nick is WW
Nate is LW
BJ is LW (well by modern standards 145 lbs to be more precise)
Nah. BJ fought Machida at LHW.
Diaz fought someone at LW.
When you're doing the standard "2 weight division" comparison, you need to take the lowest weight of the person's whose nuts you're hugging and compare it to the heaviest weight of the person who is a thug/gangster/<racial slur>/literallyhitler.
"One of those" that actually watched the fight? Yes, Sir! Yes, Sir! 5 Rounds Full!
Even Nick knows he can't handle the top dogs, and deep down he regrets not being able to win the UFC belt and that's why he "retired".
And I think Nick needs to earn the shot by winning at least 2-3 fights against top 10 opponents.
