Nick Diaz vs. Johnny Hendricks?

Diaz bros have issues with great wrestlers.
That's a bit of a myth actually. Nick has lost to some good grapplers like Sanchez, Karo, Sherk, GSP but he mostly lost those fights standing, or at least a good mix. Diaz getting LnP'd by grapplers is an urban legend that has actually never happened.
 
Since Nicks wrestling is shit theres your answer.

Then he talks smack for his opponent using his glaring flaw against him instead of getting better at it.

Nate Diaz vs. Joe Stevenson would be a good example. Nate also beat Maynard and Guillard though, both good wrestlers.
 
Nick has only been legit tko'd once and it was in 2002, but he would later avenge the loss. Diaz also one punch ko'd the sitting WW champ before. Johnny has the wrestling advantage, but not the grappling. Diaz is world's ahead of Hendricks in BJJ.

I'm sorry if i expressed myself wrong, i meant the clinch/grappling on the feet.

But Lawler wasn't put out because of the raw power in Nicks hands.
I'm with Johny on pure punching power.
 
Wrestling finishes fights with GnP.

This isn't a wrestling match though....Diaz is way better at BJJ than Johnny, could be foolish for him to take Nick down...
 
Wrestling doesn't finish fights. BJJ does, which Nick is very skilled and Johnny is not.

Wrestling does grind out decisions though, which has been proven time and time again. Hendricks doesn't have to make himself susceptible to subs, he can just stall like he's shown he has no problem doing in the past.

Hendricks 30-27 and then Diaz complains about how shitty MMA judging is yet again
 
Do you come from an alternate dimension in which all fights end by finish..?
Do you come from an alternate dimension where Hendricks has better cardio than Nick and can hold him down for a whole fight? Nick has never been lay and prayed to a loss....you might want to check what dimension you're in....

Idk if Hendricks has the cardio to control Diaz for a whole fight.
 
I'd take Hendricks. He can mix it up with leg kicks and TDs really well, and that's Diaz kryptonite.
