News *** The Jake Paul v Nate Diaz Official Discussion Mega Thread ***

[mkt]

Imagine being a millionaire nearly 40 year old pro fighter and scrumming it with randos in a shit hole like Louisiana.

Imagine being a Sherdiot rando probably living in some NE or W. Coast cesspool and telling millionaires what to.

 

[D 1 Wrestler]

This is how WE get down in the streets.

You computer nerds calling it stupid because you cant relate to real men.

Imagine being this dumb. But hey at least you can die alone in jail knowing you were a real man

Without seeing what led up to Nate putting that guy to sleep, IMHO Nate put him out quickly, then did his best to NOT let him get hurt hitting the asphalt, while remaining alert to the threat of some clown jumping on him.

​

Not sure if this is serious. Nate did try to lower the guy down a bit and not let him fall from standing height, but unfortunately his head still bounced. But it looked like Nate just walked off and didn't try to check on him or revive him...unless you saw a longer clip.

Civil lawsuit is going to take everything you worked for muthafucka.
I've been watching a lot of law stuff on youtube lately so I can confirm he is screwed (in my expert opinion).

This is kind of like the old expression "I'm not a doctor, but I play one on TV."
"I'm not a lawyer, but I watch some legal stuff on Youtube."
It's hard to say without knowing more context. Was the guy verbally threatening Nate, so he thought a fight was unavoidable? And regardless of what really happened, there's always a lot of "he said, she said" and different accounts--not just of Nate, but the whole scene.

 

[93confirmed]

Looks like the guy wasnt looking to fight and was trying to de-escalate the situation while Nate was the agressor.

The Sherbro legal team has arrived.

 

[Sgt Smith]

No matter if the guy deserved it, Nate better prepare to lawyer up. Because that will likely be coming.

 

[DapperDave]

Why isn't it a good look?

Because in the first 2 seconds of the video, you see the other guy with hands up palms-out in what appears to be a de-escalation posture and action.

Then mayhem, then knee and choke ending with guy quickly rendered unconscious by professional fighter and martial artist.

So yah. Not too hard to figure out why it's a bad look and a bad idea.

If this wasn't a staged event, and if the guy sues Diaz, Diaz gonna pay big money.

 

[surgeyou1]

Looked like that guy had his palms up trying not to fight.


Nate could be fucked here.

 

[DapperDave]

LOL, I went back and watched it again, you can actually hear the guy's head smack the pavement.
Also, that's a curb the guy's shoulders landed on, which means his head snapped back and had farther to travel than the shoulders.

Yah. Lawsuit imminent.

Unless there is more film available that shows enough aggression to warrant nearly lethal self-defense, Nate will give this guy a tremendous amount of money.

 

[Portland8242]

Lol, Nate is a wealthy man now, WTF does he brawl with some assholes on a crowded street.

You can take the thug out of the street but you'll never take the street out of a thug.

 

[Portland8242]

Dude coulda got touched up and hurt but Diaz opted to give him a nap instead.

I'd say he got off easy.

 

[TheMMAnalyst]

From what I can see the dude is standing square in front of Diaz, palms open, hands up, knees not bent, so definitely doesn't appear to be threatening....but for some reason he inches forward into striking range.

Based on his attitude/stance it would appear he had no interest fighting, but he has no idea how to "de-escalate" if he thinks inching into striking range of an MMA fighter with his dukes up in the middle of a street fight is a good idea.

Maybe next time try backing away instead of inching forward eh buddy?

 

[b00tysweat]

I agree. I'm impressed with Nates professionalism

 

[BEATDOWNS]

At least Fake Paul didn't flinch like a little bitch

 

[PrepareForGlory]

Richard Belzer (the guy from Law and Order) once had this happen to him by Hulk Hogan.

He ended up getting enough money to buy a villa in the south of France.

With that said, I'll gladly get choked out for a couple mill.

 

[koquerelle]

Looked like the guy wanted the fight.

Rewatch the video. He didn't want to fight.

 

[johndhi]

Really tough situation. Nate can't exactly slowly set the guy down amid chaos in a street fight and risk getting sniped... And yet I'm worried for the dude whose head fell that far- scary.

 

[Krixes]

Big Nate fan but that dude put his hands up like he didn't want any problems. Obviously we're only getting a small clip here. Maybe that dude was throwing punches before the filming started.

 

[Judge Lance Ito]

Nate put that punk in his place
