Would Nick Diaz Have Beaten Conor both times?

[Fight Professor]

Possibly but Nick did not look much smaller in the Silva fight while Conor's best performances are at 145 lbs.

 

[C0NCH3TO]

Prime Nick would ravage Conor. It would be bad, bad, bad. Nick is a true weter.

 

[SuperNerd]

Depends if Conor uses an efficient use of energy or not

 

[HHJ]

It would have looked like Nick vs Gomi..

Nick fought Gomi in 2007.
The nick of 2015 and 2016 is not the same

 

[BetoG695]

nick would win everytime, connor couldnt put nate away...nick has better chin and cardio then nate. Nick is also a bigger guy.

 

[sapporo ichiban]

Nick who? Is he a fighter?

Not surprised.

 

[PanicWrassler]

Hold on.

Eddie Alvarez win is equal to Robbie Lawler

Jose Aldo win is similar to BJ Penn.

Also Nick finished guys like Tibau and was a defending champion in strike force. Defended many times. Conor never did that.

Conor made way more money but Nick has fought the elite in MMA his entire life.

McGregor knocking out Aldo who was P4P #2 is similar to Diaz beating BJ Penn who was 1-2-1 in his last 4 fights? Yeah, no.

I hate McGregor as much as anyone but he’s leagues above Diaz in regards to accomplishments.

Both Diaz brothers are garbage, gatekeepers/decent contenders at best.

 

[campbecc]

In my opinion Nick was always the better version of Nate so I would say yes. If Nate could come close to winning Nick would win easily. Nick was basically the better version of Nate.

 

[sapporo ichiban]

People really make Nick into this mythical figure and seem to forget his last win was 10 yrs ago.

Nate might not be the best fighter in the world,but he was (at the time that he fought Conor) and is still able to win fights. Or even take fights.

Nah, people are just logical. Conor has one thing he can do which is knock out people, mostly midgets. Conors cardio under pressure also sucks balls.
Nick has a solid chin and is a pressure fighter with great submissions. He is also a normal sized man. Conor be fooked in that one.

 

[blacknblue104]

No question, especially in his prime from 2009-2012.

Nick had a granite chin and carried more power than Nate does. He's also more of a walk you down fighter- once a guy is tired against Nick, they almost never made it more than a couple of minutes past that point.

Not only do I think that Nick beats McGregor twice, but I think he stops him in the 2nd round both times.

Yeah but at the time they would have fought Nick was pretty much done.

Agreed. Nate beat up Conor in the first fight and turned him into a panic wrestler. The second one went the distance and it was not a blow out by any means, even after Conors over priced revenge camp and his protection from the media, it was still close. Nick would ragdoll Conor.

Oh yea Nick submitted prime Gomi as well.

Gomi could be considered comparable to the Aldo win.

No.

Aldo is a way better fighter than Gomi,with a way better career.

 

[gravity lead]

Nick wasted his prime . How's his comeback lookin?

 

[VitorReem]

I don’t like Nick or Conor.

Nick absolutely massacres him.

 

[campbecc]

Conor will always have better wins than Nick Diaz ever will.

Nick has wins over

Agreed. Nate beat up Conor in the first fight and turned him into a panic wrestler. The second one went the distance and it was not a blow out by any means, even after Conors over priced revenge camp and his protection from the media, it was still close. Nick would ragdoll Conor.

Styles make fights and Nick is just too durable and applies too much pressure. If Nick came straight from the bar and Conor had a camp, that would be the only circumstances I could consider it even.

Conor only has the power for a little guy, I bet he couldn't even hit harder than many of Nicks past opponents. Beyond that, Conor has no ground game to offer Nick and his cardio would get him killed, guarandouble fucking teed. And I am not even a huge fan of either guy so I am not star struck. I just have a brain, it's obvious.

Nick is just too inconsistent. He beats gomi and then barely gets by Mike Aina in his next fight.

LOL at comparing the ghost of Baby J to Aldo

Nick is also way bigger than Conor, what a stupid thread.
