Would Nick Diaz Have Beaten Conor both times?

[tequilaboy]

So Gomi and Conor are the same fighter now? lol

How dumb are you?

How dumb are you?

Go roll down an endless hill of fishooks,you piss reeking casual.

 

[Garnet_StrongerThanYou]

LOL at comparing the ghost of Baby J to Aldo

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

If it’s a stupid thread then why is it six pages already including you, you dickwad.

Sure, that will be a better use of my time than "discussing" with a retard like you

Yes ..... really not a big deal. How would ve Conor beat Nick ?

 

[EnthusiastCultivator]

Why are people saying Nick will have a lot of size on Conor? Nate is bigger than Nick and Conor was doing OK. He struggled heavily but made adjustments and won the rematch.

imo the only difference between Nick and Nate is that Nick has a little more pop in his punches because he has a lot more KO and TKO wins than Nate does. Endurance is equal and so is BJJ.

Will favour Prime Nick, not current Nick though.

Well we never really seen Nate go up to 185 but we seen Nick do it

I'm incline to say Yes.

I think Nick hits harder than Nate, has better wrestling, a better chin.

Basically just a little bit better at everything. He was a Strikeforce Champ and Fought GSP.

If it had been the Diaz Trilogy against Conor, i think Nick would have wasted him both times.

By knockout though, not submission.

He might have ended all the Conor hype right then and there, before he even got to Mayweather.

I agree Nick would beat Conor but I mean, most top 10 ‘actual’ welterweights’ probably would beat Conor?

If a 150 weight class existed that’s where Conor would belong (assuming dumbass weightcutting is a thing in this scenario) so comparing him to a 170 guy... What’s the point?

it’s not exactly impressive that Nick would win

 

[TheMessiah]

Nick would destroy him lol. He hits even harder than Nate and is bigger

 

[bjpenngoat]

Nick was really good before 2012 but his resume is weak, his best win is either daley or kj noons. Robbie was 19 when nick beat him. He had great intangibles but he doesnt have the resume to back up the legend.

 

[Dionysian]

At the time it would have been a close fight.

Prime vs Prime Nick wins 10/10

Agreed. Prime for prime Nick is a pretty clear example of the proverbial "nightmare match-up" for Conor stylistically.

 

[FIGHTING TALK]

Nick Diaz would have boxed Conor to pieces. Nick ate Daley’s shots so chances are that Mcgregors best punches would do virtually nothing.

 

[DagOban**]

Yes.

 

[savemgs]

Almost forgot that one. And he subbed prime Gomi while stoned too.

And This.

 

[chinarice]

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.

Jose Aldo win at the time is literally far better than a win over Penn at that time... c'mon man.

 

[Megalodon]

Yeah, the size would have allowed him to take the shots better early in the fight and Nick wouldn't have let him off the hook when he gassed in the second fight.

Nate sort of tried to wall n stall in the rematch, whereas when Nick had guys gassed against the cage he beat the shit out of them.
