Who the F is buying this "Nate Diaz is a massive WW"???

[Headkicktoleg]

His fights have been around lightweight and welterweight. There's a small difference between the two weight classes. What's the big deal?

15 lbs is a small difference?

 

[ocfightfan]

yes Nate Diaz when he was 18 was not a big LW, but he's 6ft1 and people fill out as they age

this is him now standing next to Sage Northcutt who just fought at WW. He's as tall as his brother and as big as Sage, is Nick Diaz also a "natural lw"?

Because I like to pretend. It's fun and relaxing.

Damn dude looks bigger than nick in that pic

In before puffy jacket and angles and shit

 

[Death By Samson]

And this is how full of shit Dana is. According to Kavanagh the UFC were the ones who insisted that the rematch be contested at 170.

And now Dana says that Nate is some kind of massive WW that he won't put Conor in the cage with.

 

[BROWNPRIDE]

Nate is now a super heavyweight

 

[ocfightfan]

Well actually Nate was a super heavyweight before the tragic meth addiction and even more tragic raw food veganism.

 

[Chomsky Honk]

omg Nate Diaz is taller than Mike Tyson I guess Nate is a natural heavyweight

 

[Aegon Spengler]

Nate was a middling welterweight who mostly lost at that class, and is a decent LW who has a good record in that division.

There's the whole truth of the situation, really not much else to debate.

 

[Koro_11]

This is who's buying it.

Nate in the second fight was not lightweight Nate, he had months to grow bigger and he did, he didn't have to care about cutting since he only had to cut to 170, not 155.

conor had time to grow in those months too. that wasnt LW conor.

Y'all might as well have CONOR NUTHUGGER tattooed on your forehead

When I read nick diaz 200 lbs I couldn't think anything but "WTF?"

 

[rad]

Hes the benjamin button of MMA. Hes actually gotten smaller

 

[PutUpYourDux]

Middleweight.

 

[HwoarangStyle]

Well actually Nate was a super heavyweight before the tragic meth addiction and even more tragic raw food veganism.

 

[LordMayorMuffSniff]

Nate has a decent sized frame and would do okay at WW against favourable match ups. He isn't a big WW though, and probably smaller than a natural WW.

Conor did drop him at WW where Rory couldn't.

 

[Rod Farva]

I was Nate's size when I was 12

 

[PutUpYourDux]

He's only massive compared to that little midget Conor.

If Conor's a midget what does that make Edgar? A sawn-off midget?

You don't have to be a "nuthugger" to not be blind. While Nate didn't have a massive size increase that the UFC are trying sell, he was the bigger man in that cage by a decent amount. The second fight Nate also clearly bulked up some.

It doesn't take a rocket scientist to figure out that when one person is cutting to make 170 and the other can't make 170, one of those fighters is bigger.

All relative
