Media Nick Diaz looks in amazing shape

[Through The Looking Glass]

Nick looked in tremendous shape 6 months before the Robbie, then he showed up to the fight like he hadn't trained in 10 years.

He looks way better than he did for Lawler.

What exactly do you see there to see he looks great?

Exactly he is actually pushing his punches on the bag. Doesn't even look good on a staitionary target.

There was a pic of Nick about 6 months before the Lawler fight, he was riding his bike. He was in REALLY good shape, then he shows up to the fight completely out of shape, like he got hurt and couldn't keep training. I think this might me the pic.

Four pages and no WM17 GIF or ref at least ?

He looks a lot better on that bag than a lot of current top ten guys I've seen doing bag work.

That must've been way out because I remember the lead up for that fight and he looked like he was drunk and not training at all

He doesn't look in amazing shape but he is definitely leaned out and looking in much better shape than he did the last time. I'm sure he'll get in even better shape over the next couple of months.

Like 6 months before their fight, they had a thread about it just like this one.

41 on a come back vs 32 years old.

This one ain't gonna be pretty. I don't think Nick gets the chance to quit this time around.

I totally get why you'd doubt nick given his history, but that's a brain damaged 32 year old that shouldn't be cleared to even fight. It could be close if diaz isn't overwhelmed by the speed.

 

[Luthien]

Wow, he does look good. I hope he's serious about fighting again.

I'd hit it

Love Diaz but he’s washed man. Bro’s first fight was over 23 years ago. Being in good cardio/physical shape ≠ fight shape.

 

[chick magnet punk]

I'm rooting for Nick and he looks in great shape here but his hands look very slow

Easy W for Luque. I'm a Diaz fan but at 41, Nick is to old to compete with top level guys. He is 7 - 8 years past his prime. He pissed away a big portion of his prime and left a lot of money on the table. I hope he was a good saver / investor.

Ok. He's no longer in the top 10.
Give him a # 15 guy and I beat he would be a game fighter and probably win.

That's just it. If Nick gets a decent round in and gets settled, who know? But the Lawler fight looked like a mugging. If Luque keeps his foot on the gas, this won't last long.

Bringing back his early 2000s nu-metal goatee is like Popeye and his spinach

 

[nonoob]

He's 41 and hasn't won a fight since BJ Penn in 2011.​

Nick and BJ had an impressive scrap, they both brought it that night !

Rewatch - Nick Diaz vs BJ Penn - Both Bring The Pain

Two legendary warriors battle with violent action worthy of applause. Any new fan that only thinks of BJ as the guy who got bar brawled KO'd and Nick as a dazed burnout - do yourself a favor and experience 2 greats in action.

He'll lose and rage quit once more and come back in 2.5 years. Rinse and repeat until he's in his late 50's.

Hes going the silva route

Bro is disconnected from reality.

Goodnight sweet prince..

I’ll probably cry when he gets destroyed lol
