UFC ON FOX 3

i hope we get some BJJ in this match.

Miller should have came to "Lodi" instead of Bad Moon Rising

I like to see Hendricks vs Rory.

If Ellenberger beats Kamp let him get the first crack at the title.

10-9 Nate

10-9 nate
miller bringing da scrap though

beautiful fight

great performance by Nate

Great four fight show on fox tonight.

Since dropping back down to 155 after Rory took him to school, he has been getting better and better, great finish

Nate vs Pettis...Please!

Nate kind of sounds like Mike Tyson when he talks

I'd like to see Nate rematch the winner of Guida/Maynard to see if he can take on a wrestler willing to wrestle, otherwise there's no reason to assume he beats Edgar or Bendo.

Nate > pettis

Also Nate has become a better fighter that Nick.

get out of here with that noise. how do you figure?

Brian Stann is pretty damn good at this analyst gig. He's gonna get clowned the next time he's on FOX though.

Simply because Nate is a more versatile fighter than Nick. Nate actually throws knees/kicks and could work a mean clinch game unlike Nick. When is last time you saw Nick look for Hiza-guruma from the clinch or throw a kick besides that royce gracie like front kick?

Nick is excellent at boxing and a has very good jiu-jitsu game...and that's it...Of course that will be good enough to beat good fighters, but great ones like Condit or GSP that could actually use strategy that won't fly at all. The more you are able to do as a fighter the harder it is for fighters to game against you and that's a fact.

Nick and Nate are of the same template. They both have the same strengths, flaws, and tendencies. Nick is better in all facets prominent in their games. He simply "big brothers" him. Even Nate would laugh you out of a room if he heard you say that because he probably gets tooled by his brother in training. Nick is much more fluid with his boxing, his BJJ is superior, more experienced. Nate being more versatile is noise. Nate throws knees and kicks very sparingly, just like Nick. It's not even worth noting it as a difference. As for this whole clinch game thing, we've seen fights where Nate has not worked well out of the clinch ast all and we've hardly seen any fights where he instigated the clinch and worked well in it. Pretty much tonight and maybe vs. Cerrone(dont remember the fight well) but we don't have much of a basis to say that is a hole in Nick's game or even say it's a big strength in Nates..just because Nick usually does not need to deviate from swarming his opponent with a high volume of strikes.

They are not of different styles even in the slightest and Nick would tool a Jim Miller style and level fighter just as badly...probably while leaving his face more mangled by throwing more head strikes.

i agree the more you are able to do makes it harder..that is obvious. I just don't think Nate having more to his game is at all evident.

Very impressed with Diaz. I feel like I've posted that too often the last year.

Is Nate Diaz not on anyone's top five right now?

Nate was awesome in the post fight, and he completely outclassed Miller.

Nate is probably not even top 8 for Freak, since Miller was barely in his top ten and all. But yeah this performance jumps Nate ahead of Guida, Pettis, and Chandler for the time being.

I wont put him ahead of Chandler... Guida could always wrassle fuck him but i think Nate beats Pettis

Daiz has Been showing good at 155, tonight he took good step in affirming how legit he has become in the division. The diaz fighting for the right to be a legit contender. Lw is so, so deep. He is in a crowd of legit contenders.

I haven't done fresh rankings in a while but

1. Henderson
2. Melendez
3. Edgar
4. Pettis
5. Diaz
6. Chandler
7. Maynard
8. Guida
9. Alvarez
10. Cerrone
11. Miller

Some people may seem surprised to see Maynard fall behind a few of those fighters when his last two fights were close title fight losses, but between momentum, and how'd I'd pick future fights, Maynard loses a couple of spots.
