Nate Diaz signs 4 fight deal with UFC

A small modern avian dinosaur?

I'd just like to point out for when the crow's being served that I'm with Wolfy on this one. Nate Diaz is about as overrated as it gets.

and you're about as biased as it gets so i won't take much stock in what you say...

Looks like me and you are the lone Diaz defenders. We are going to be cooking up a ton of crow to serve up to everyone. I seriously don't understand the hate for such a talented, young fighter. All of his loses in the UFC have been extremely close fights.

They dont like the way they talk and act so that means they're bad fighters. Duh Sooners thought you knew that.

He got out boxed by a guy with way shorter arms who is a wrestler by trade. Not a good size. If you can't outstrike wrestlers and you can't stop their takedowns, what can you do?

Like I said, Diaz only threatens bad strikers and wrestlers in that area. He is only really good at BJJ. Guard playing at WW? Good like with that gentlemen.

No respect

SOONERS and Oggy big Diaz fans so they're seeing things that just aint there.

I wish they gave Gomi Nate Diaz instead of Griffin. I'd much rather see that

I get nautious when I read all the hate. Calling a 25 year old fighter with a 7-3 record in the UFC a future gatekeeper makes me want to puke. People love to over look his skill because of how he acts outside the cage. It is a pitty that so many people are blinded by things outside the cage. Nate won the boxing over Maynard hands down, no question.

My opinion, and I would argue most other opinions has more to do with his garbage wrestling and mediocre striking. I've hardly commented on his out of cage behavior.

The kid is 25 and always improving. How anyone already knows what he can or can't do in the future is beyond me. Like I said all his loses are close fights to respectable fighters. At the age of 25, yeah I see a ton of potential in the kid....but I guess I don't own a crystal ball like others who can see how his skill will develope over the years...I have to get me one of those.

I think Nick Diaz tried to sell me crack once. Then I asked him how much and he trailed off, then started looking around alot like someone was following him or some shit... Wierd.

LOL


SOONERS, with his current skillset, he's a gatekeeper. Why does that offend you? Under your logic any gatekeeper in their 20s shouldn't be labelled as such.

Not one who just hit his mid 20s, he is better then Kenny Florian was at 25 I'll say that. It's all good, just another band wagon for you to jump on in the future

Kenny Florian is an also ran who will never win a title and has had easy roads to title shots. Joe Stevenson and Gomi are prob his best wins. Compare those two all you like.

I just want to point out again that my opinion on Nate has nothing to do with his wiggerism or antics outside of the cage. I don't care how he acts outside of the cage. I look at his skills in the cage and his skin and bone body. He'll never be able to hang with the best in the division at WW or LW. He doesn't have the skills or the strength for it.

His standup is horrendous IMO, yeah he has nice reach over most LW's but that's all he's got. He has little power and he repeatedly attempts to strike like his brother but he can't.

He has good BJJ, but as others have pointed out the strong wrestlers in both divisions will control him on the ground.

I'm not blinded by hate at all, I'm just calling him like I see him.

Great chin, great cardio, very active, very young, ton of potential.

Ya he has a lot of tools SOONERS. Enough to be a gate keeper in the UFC. More than 98% of other fighters out there.
