Why does Nate talk trash when all he does is lose

[Qays Stetkevich]

Same could be asked about conman who has gotten embarrassed in 4 of his last 5 fights. The answer is that it keeps them relevant and it appeals to their brain dead fanbase. They are also delusional enough to believe in their own mind that they haven't really lost. You've heard conman's comments about only knockouts count and Nate thinks he only lost to Mas because of cuts, etc...

Conman is the ultimate casual attracting magnet, and the UFC caught onto that quick. Same, to a lesser extent, with Nate. So the two pair nicely if bottom-line is all you're concerned with, and you don't sweat the watering-down and amateurization of your sport.

Lol. Go look up his timeline on twitter and tell me if you still believe that.

I don't consider online posting to be trash talk. I'm talking live face to face stuff or press conferences.

Twitter is one of the dumbest platforms ever developed.

Isn't Nate married with children?

If he is then I stand corrected.. But not from what I've ever seen or heard from him.

EDIT: You're right he does have a daughter.

Still a cringey man for doing the whole gang signs and shit at his age though

 

[thewhiterooster]

same as conor. collectively they've won 2 of their last 7 fights. yet conor is still the most popular dude and Nate is top 3 most popular. it's weird to me. to each their own.

No one even knows what a gazelle is.
This is America, motherfucker. Get it right.

I strongly endorse this post.

TS has a point. Nate has has won 4 of his past 10 fights this past decade, losing 3 of his last 4.

Who remembers when Michael Johnson was a LW title contender

Had wins over Tony, Barboza and Pourier, and went to war with Gaethje

But then Khabib destroyed him and its been downhill ever sense

The man's in his mid thirties though.. Doing gang signs and using the word "homie" etc is hella cringe for someone his age... Hence why the Diaz bros are single and haven't settled down with a family yet

All these crazy gangstas and gangsta wannabes (not sure which is worse tbh) have kids...and that's part of a HUGE problem with America especially in the suburbs of larger cities.

That’s true but it sells. He got the big money Conor and Masvidal fights and got the Edwards fight that he didn’t deserve. He’s going to keep at it.

I’ll tell you this... if Nick can’t get past Robbie then his shit talking game better be on point if he wants to stick around with a meaningful purse.

This fact just shows how mma isn't a real sport and has a very ignorant and unknowlegable cashew fan base.

 

[NoSmilez]

He has these spiritual morale victories. Them stopping the match against Jorge and him stunning his opponent last min of the fight.

 

[Nathan LaMontagne]

Isn't that just the usual, wannabe tough guy, thug behavior?

 

[MRT]

To...make money?

The funniest part is that critics try to claim that Diaz fans eat up the shtick when the truth is that most of us just laugh at how easily it triggers people. He doesn't even talk crazy negative shit...just one little sentence is usually enough to get a good reaction lol.

 

[Ascent]

Then he should be doing those more things to life then and just enjoy his life then...

maybe, but I don't see how that's relevant to this discussion.

 

[burningspear]

He can do no wrong because he beat Conor, have you witnessed how popular Poirier is now?

 

[RayMercer]

He's like the Adrien Broner of MMA.

Total garbage, loses to every top guy he faces yet still relevant for some reason.

 

[Thepaintbucket]

To maintain his branding.

 

[Colemanstove]

Pretty simple. Gets him big fights he wouldn't have the opportunity for otherwise.

Do we have a remit to do more than enjoy life? Who said?
