He didnt put up a fight vs. Conor. Tony RDA and Pettis. He was trying to be competitive but just cant. Justin ran through him....
I'm not even a " Nate Diaz " guy but from what I remember, that was pretty bad. Cerrone couldn't escape Nate's length for entirety of fight. It was one sided .Conor
Justin
Dos Anjos
Pettis
Till
Masvidal
The Nate fight wasn't a beatdown
Nate beat him in every way possible. Physical beat down as well as a total mental beat down. You could see it on Cowboy's face. He realized he was locked inside a cage with someone who was kicking his ass and there was nothing he could do about it.
Very trueEh, I would put Nate near the bottom of the list. Nate beat the shit out of Cerrone in the first round, and won the second and third. But Cerrone found a second gear after the first round and was putting some good offense together. I think people remember the first round and forget that Cerrone started landing good shots and chopped Nate's legs from underneath him a few times.
It was competitive after the first. Nate clearly won 30-27, or even 30-26 with that first round being so lopsided. But it wasn't a beatdown like he got from everyone else on that list.
