Just imagine beating the shit out of someone for like 7 minutes, blood dripping down their face and they're still coming at you like the fight hasn't started. Diaz got the body of a triathlete and the head of a fucking cinderblock.
Bro, Nate combinations are just INSANE. But, what's even crazier is the fact that THAT ain't his best skill, I mean, his constant pressure just drains the gas tank of his opponents, making them do stupid things like going for a takedown having no wrestling background. Amazing.
Me too, I was laid up with a crook back leading up to it and watched every bit of commentary I could find and was convinced by the experts Nate had almost no chance, Conor was undefeated and appeared to be unstoppable and so confident I believed him. I was so stoked when Nate pulled off the seemingly impossible.
I think people forget how amazing this shit was to watch live and see all the hype and the interviews and chats. Almost brings a tear to my eye. As an american the diaz brothers were some bad ass dudes. And then an an irish austrian guy connor was just entertaining as hell. The fans of mma yearn for shit like this again. Sure there's great fighters now but there has not been this hype of a fight or rivarly for at least three years. Mma is sadly past its prime era :l hopefully soon some new guys will be that alluring.
Yo the music definitely intensifies the fight. It's unbelievable how perfect Nates combos/sequences was after that initially R jab Lstraight. That the way he mounted Conor, then got McGregors back. The single punch before slapping the choke on. It was like (and still is) watching a MASTER at work.
Not sure if you guys noticed, but when Connor gave he’s back to Diaz and Diaz started grabbing him from the neck… diaz gave one last punch to push Connor’s head into he’s head lock. Diaz is an intelligent fighter!
I liked the Conor quote after the fight where he said he was surprised how many shots a man in this bigger weight class could take. Most of the shots he hit Nate with would've KO'ed the featherweights
Nate has never came out dirty , take that in for a sec never came out dirty so when he’s exhausted and all beat up it isn’t juice keeping him standing it’s pure heart ..that’s why we love Nate no he doesn’t look like a lion (tall skinny chubby dude) but the heart of a lion nun the Less .
I keep preaching this it takes more than hard work you gotta have that fighting spirit in you like the Diaz bothers it’s nothing personal you can’t fake it or act this isn’t a game THIS IS REALITY that world y’all live in doesn’t exist it’s time to wake up it’s why I ain’t fake and inspire ppl but never push them towards this and lie for personal gain like most cuz there sports ain’t for everyone you either have it in you or you don’t
I remember watching this fight at my homies pad when I was at rock bottom shit reminded me of what my coach taught me best to never stop fighting or give up all you need is that one shot that can change your life, I prayed everyday that God would give me one last chance to get back up in exchange I would pay him back and push my limits and give back I always had the tools to make in happen and the best mentor on the planet I just needed the opportunity to stand tall and the rest would be history we all make mistakes and deserve a second chance
I was Living out of a car with my best friend in 2016 eating pizza and drinking all day barely sleeping and takin a little peds and one day I woke up up and was mind blown that when I looked in the mirror as I was showering at the local gym that I knew this whole time I didn't see what I was capable of.
My boy pulled it off on one of the biggest platforms on the planet I just gotta pull it off on the other one than will both go down in history. Mma/bodybuilding #nda #chosen1
I remember calling this one ahead of time before ot happened.... Conor gonna crack him like "whyd he not go down"? Crack him some more... Nate start hittin back... Connor crack him more like "wtf" n get overwhelmed cause he never fought anyone who could take his shots clean.....
1:20 People who don’t train missed how impressive this was for Conor. He got taken down and then kept the leg and select Nate and came up into top position. I know the fight didn’t go Conor’s way but that sweep was nice.
Meet both brothers in San Diego in 2020 . We were at a cheap taco stand. Initially, I had no clue who they were until their manager randomly started chatting with me while I was ordering. To make a long story short, I glance over a see these two guys, who look oddly similar, just shadow boxing. He’s like they are fighters. They do MMA. People were just randomly blowing their horns and walking up asking for pics. Nick grabbed my phone and went to his instagram(which he doesn’t even manage). We took a picture .Then we departed. *REAL HUMBLE GUYS*
I wanna see a nate fight without time limit. Because it seems the more you push him the more he learns/rises like dam goku just keeps comin bak stronger and stronger in battle
