Yes. Conor would never take that fight.
War Diaz
Better Cardio = Diaz
Better Ground game = Diaz
Better striking = Diaz
NIck almost got knocked out cold by Gomi and he was pretty much peaking at that time. Though Gomi is an incredible striker, Conor is on a different level. I would favor Conor by KO.

It's fun seeing delusional Diaz fans go toe to toe with delusional Conor fans.
I'm not a fan of either side, but all the hypothetical Nick Diaz traits never seem to come out in an actual fight. On paper Nick may be better, but in the ring Conor has proven himself better by actually beating ranked competition (something Nick has done only once in eight years)
Also when it comes to what goes on in the ring, and proving those skills, Nate is actually the much better Diaz brother but never gets the respect he deserves as he's somehow the quieter one.
This is true! Nate has wins over four LWs ranked higher then any WW Nick has beat. Nick gets all the hype because he is older and went on a streak outside the UFC beating unranked fighters and avoiding wrestlers. If Nick stayed in the UFC and fought guys like Fitch, Alves (before all the injury's), Hughes, Kos etc... instead of leaving and beating bums (and Daley i guess), then he wouldn't have half the hype he does. The difference between Nick and Nate is Nick was protected from wrestlers for years.
Its not a coincidence Nick was only OK in the UFC at first, left and became "great" and GSPs "toughest matchup", then came back and went 1-3 in the UFC
Nick is Nate 3.0
He would clean Conors clock.
Dude fought Penn, Condit, GSP, and Silva
Alot of WW's would go 1-3 in those fights
Yes allot of WWs would go 1-3 in those fights. But those other fighters don't get talked about the way Nick does. The way people talk about Nick you would think he would have at least 1 top 5 win and have a better record then 2-7 vs top 10 WWs
