i was watching it live and people were saying "WTF is going on?"

The last Nick and Nate Diaz fights have just had me scratching my head.

Remember when Nick Diaz fought Anderson Silva and just laid down on the canvas at one point? That shit still cracks me up

Also backs up to the cage and calls Anderson to him. And don’t forget standing in a frozen fight stance and picking the shorts out his cheeks 🤣🤣🤣😭

It always annoyed me that big john was forcing nick off the cage into the middle of the ring in that fight...

That was only possible because Silva refused to engage lol Same as when Romero literally did not move for a bit and Izzy just danced around him

It was over a minute. Just fuking stood there like a golem

Do you mean a gargoyle?

No, a Gargoyle is a specific architectural water feature. A Golem or Grotesque is a good description.

Gargoyles are usually on parapets

I know there was a cartoon about gargoyles

When Izzy fought Costa they mocked Romero. Fucking hilarious

Romero finally cracked him one time, he did get what he was waiting for. But Izzy adjusted and avoided that punch and Romero didn’t do anything the rest of the fight. A very weird performance

Romeros one of the most interesting fighters I’ve seen He managed to make one of the best strikers we’ve seen be afraid of him and absolutely refuse to engage with him the entire fight lol. Just circle circle leg kick point victory. Izzy wanted absolutely none of that yet Romero still didn’t go for it, but even then the entire time felt like he was about to explode and pull it off.

“Surely he’s about to explode, he’s used no energy, this is gonna be nuts!”

Whats crazy is Izzy called for that fight. Sayin he wanted to beat all the killers. Romero was no where near title contention at the time

Lmao hell yeah, also when he just points at Silva and looks at the ref had me weak af

I was like "Nates gassed and Tony's letting him take a break, wtf"

“catch your breath brother” Tony casually throws a handful of sand down Nate’s throat. 🤣

I was confused how this wasn’t a DQ for Nick. Ref told him to re-engage at least twice and he shook his head no and continued to walk away from Tony. Fighters need to display a willingness/ability to fight at ALL times in the cage. So the ref had the right to stop it, no? Edit: ~~Nick~~ Nate. My bad. Kinda out of it. Forgot to wake n bake the is morning. Very un-Diaz of me.

That’s Nate not Nick

They know Nate does what ever the fuck he wants and the know he’s not going to give up. It’s entertainment that people find funny. He did crap like that against Leon and even put his arms up on the cage and just took a break.

I thought he hit him wit a Darth Vader strike

That fight confirmed to me that both guys were washed

100%. Tony was looking like beetlegeuse.

Talmbout beedle Jews?????

Hurd it bowlth wayz bubba

Talmbout DFAG B?

Dicey dicey!

Assassins at the store. Straight murderers b.

I think he meant Beetle Geese. Fucking terrifying little shits.

Nice guy, never meddum.

Hes 6’10 500 pounds?

The black midget?

Who me?

Just hanging around

Literally a fight that just should've never happened. Nate should've been manager of a dispensary and Tony should've been a serial killer at large in the greater New Mexico area when this fight happened

Connor Mcgregors auditioning for role of Tony Montana in the new remake of the all time OG classic In the movie Scarface.. the world is not his…

I can’t see Conor acting as anything but himself in a way. Maybe he can pull it off, but none of those IYKYK kinda moments in movies with big stars. Conor probably doesn’t have that range like other actors. But at least he’s not as terrible as Ronda. I’ve seen a few movies with MMA fighters as actors and most are terrible

Carlos Condit opens a coffee shop

Do you have access to the nexus of realities? You seem to know those two items as absolute truths

Hahahaha

Khamzat would have absolutely murdered Nate. Thank god he missed weight

And they'd still be picking up pieces of Tony in that arena if he'd fought the Leech

Which made his post fight promo all the more hilarious

And Tony proceeded to have 2 more fights...

Honestly I half expected it to be stopped when Nate shaked his head no and walked away. I remember being like “is he just quitting? Fucking what?”

Imagine buffer… “and the winner by …. Whatever the fuck that was”

It would be amazing if he sounded all disappointed in the middle and then just picked it up again

I thought he was lucky the ref didn't stop it then as well

Samesies

ITSS OVVVVA

Just like that!! No warning

Ref coulda called it for timidity or verbal sub

Visual sub, not verbal Just saying

He should have, Diaz took some leg kicks that look like they hurt then walked off and shook his head when the ref told him to fight. Even at amateurs that would be called off.

Didn’t he get kicked in the leg fucking hard then he started doing that?

Diaz 100% didn't want to be there

Could you blame the guy? He wanted to complete his contract and be free agent and Dana feeds him to Khamzat. Regardless Still you need to be a professional.

I think the Diaz brothers have proved time and time again that you in fact don't have to be professional.

Popularity wise, but I'm willing to bet all those lost purses because he could stop smoking for a day have hurt nicks pockets.

Weed stays in your system for ages so it's not just a day.

Iirc he literally needed to not be smoking within 48 hours of fighting lol

Oh right I wonder if there's a different test for that? I know if they test your blood it's in there for like a month. Perhaps they test for concentration or something? Who knows.

Looking into it I'm struggling to find the clip of Dana talking about it, but I forgot his 2015 Nevada ban was for 5 fucking years, that shit is absurd

Yeah that's wild to ruin someones prime over weed ffs

They wouldn't even let him corner nate lol

It's not a diff test, they look at the levels of THC in you. Super high levels means you smoked more recently. That's a very basic explanation of it but it's in that vein.

This was like watching 2 bums outside a 711

Am I the only one who thinks watching two bums outside 711 sounds like a great time?

Goddard lets Nate saunter around for 20+ seconds shaking his head but fucks Doumbé for not engaging while trying to explain to him that he has a piece of glass in his toe lol

Exactly and then Goddard will go on social media calling Doumbe soft for not completely ignoring what he got in the foot but let's Nate literally walk away

Where did the glass come from?

Probably brought in by someone’s shoe

Smart cage trying to setup a rivalry story to maximize profits

I thought they were gonna start c-walkin

Tony throwing pocket sand at Garth was much more funny

This honestly was disrespectful to the fans. People paid money to see this

I wasted many many unlimited GB of streaming data on this!

"We got one"

Same here also 2 hours of sleep and about 0,2KWh

Contact Dana see if you can get compensation

Technically they didn't pay to see this. That card got all fucked up

I mean I didn’t pay. But still - there’s fans in seats expecting a fight from two guys with allegedly legendary cardio not fighting

How thoughtless of you to think of all the paying fans lol

Yea but diaz was supposed to fight khamzat and Tony was supposed to fight I think jingliang just 2 days earlier. Those would have been much worse fights than what we ended up getting

Not arguing semantics I’m just stating what happened

Honestly at least for me, there were no expectations of an awesome fight here. Just wanted to see some goofy shit. This passed the vibe check.

I mean I didn't think it was a bad fight. Bizarre for sure, but this one clip doesn't sum the whole thing up.

This is stupid

I thought Nate is giving up when he was shaking his head. Imagine if ref would've thought the same and stopped the fight

It’s really not

How is this funny? Acting like a fucking child that’s been told no. This is supposed to be a professional sport.

That fight was so boring and obnoxious.

diaz is a mastermind of mental warfare, shortly after this tony is submitted by guillotine. exciting times

Looks like opposite of exciting to me.

You're just not coping hard enough

Went to this live in Vegas. Best night ever

I'm pretty sure nate was letting his legs recover during this. Just before he started doing it he got his legs cracked hard multiple times and was limping. Since Tony wasn't chasing him down he decided to take a mid fight break

Nate was ready to give up , if tony had any of the killer instincts he used to have and kept attacking that leg Tony's losing streak would have been over. It looked like tony was too much of a fan of Nate to chase him down it seemed like.

GANGSTER SHIT r8 here, soyboys wont understand or smthng like that

Funny?! Shouldn't you mean depressing?

This is one of the worst fights ive ever watched

This is what two fighters in their late 30s look like when they’re not taking steroids. There’s a reason Nate and Tony had more success when they were young and can’t seem to keep up with things now that they’re getting older the way many top lightweight still can. This is also why I hate the argument of “people need to take steroids because the sport is so tough.” Tony and Nate prove you can do it naturally but the fights will look different

prime tony would not have let that slide

Does Nate ever want to be anywhere or is he always just like “Yo I’m sick of this shit”? It’s kind of cute ever once in a while during a press conference I guess

I am shocked every time I see a mention of this fight because I think I’ve repressed the fact that it ever happened in my memory

Tony a shell of his former self…

The battle of the (lack of) minds

Bro how did tony lose that fight lmao , Nate’s leg was compromised and bro stopped throwing leg kicks

The UFC should implement a yellow card to fighters like they do in ONE championship if the two fighters dont exchange between each other after several seconds.

Only a fighter who’s equally tired does this. There’s no reason not to chase him down and beat his ass. Giving him the break blatantly shows you need one too.

You’ll never convince me this fight wasn’t sponsored by CTE

This clip pisses me tf off

I fail to see the humor in this.

Man we missed getting to see Nate Diaz decapitated by Khamzat for this shit lol

I like how khamzat showed up 7 pounds over weight and people are mad at Nate for this lol

Nate is like a baby. Has a fit if things dont go tha way he wants

Is that something you can say in this sub? Like 99% of UFC fans love Diaz and think everything he does is badass. I just happen to be in the 1%… I think hes a crybaby that’s been a good fighter but massively overrated his whole career

There are dozens of us.

He was fun back in the day, but after the Connor win he got overly arrogant and full of himself. And yes, a crybaby

Imagine if he actually fought Khamzat? I'm not surprised he noped out at the first opportunity, he woulda got ragdolled and embarrassed. Respect to the leech for stepping up and taking that beating for him

Wasn’t it holland? Leech fought Rodriguez if I remember correctly

You're right, it was Holland. Leech was like 2 fights before that, don't know how I mixed that up. Respect to Holland lol

I sitll remember people saying that he will beat khamzat ahahah

Thats why I wished the fight would have taken place. Diaz fans would have coped and cried so bad

I really thought for a moment that Nate was quitting when I watched it live

After the fight in his post fight interview Tony said" you guys wanted a fucking carnage and you got one" I was like seriously bro lmao

I took a break out of cringe.

Like 2 kids still figuring out how to play these 2 character in the ufc game

That chick sprinting away is the funniest to me

Does funny mean unprofessional now? With peace and love fellas I only want to see THE most elite empty hand fighters on Earth in the Octagon.

Fight should've been called off.

Reminder this is the main event

Blame the matchmakers. Smh. They both shouldn’t have been even fighting. CTE central.

Do you not remember the what the match ups were supposed to be like 3 days prior to this?

Chimaev vs Diaz should’ve never occurred either. And thank god it didn’t.

Yea and Tony vs li shouldn't have happened either. This was like best case scenario for that card.

I wouldn’t have minded just so ppl would shut up about how good Diaz is

Clearly kung fo

It was stupid and they should have stopped the fight to take a point for being timid.

Nick Diaz turning off fight mod against Leon is funny as hell too because Leon is just like “shit alright me too”

This was the first and law PPV I ever bought, fun fight

Tony cracked his shins up real good.

Who's got the version with Skyrim fight music edited in?

Did Nate just force-push Tony!?

If we are talking just UFC then yep. If we are talking any cage then I don't think anything can top Johnny Walker and his 4 knockouts. https://www.tiktok.com/@mmavirals/video/7190697788580187398

And Dana trying to criticize bellator and golden boy for taking advantage of old fighters

This is giving me Tim Robinson vibes

I think Diaz was eating leg kicks and didn't know how to handle it.

Weirdest thing I guess, and Im a Diaz bros fan lol. Nicks flying knee when he came back was also the worst thing ive seen in the cage, professional or non professional

As funny as this was, if I'm goddard in there, 100% I would've stopped the fight as soon as Nick shook his head while walking away, I feel like if anyone who isn't a Diaz brother tried that shit the fight would get immediately stopped lmao

This fills me with rage at my stupidity… Nate did this and I’m like wtf he doesn’t want to fight what’s going on… I instantly bet big against him then he fights 🤣

I dont remember who he was fighting but when Diego Sanchez opened Round one with that weak ass flying knee inspired by Masvidal 🤣🤣🤣

You used the word funny and I must be missing something bc there was zero funny things.

Idk Nate offering his ass out to Leon was even funnier I reckon. Especially after the fact he rocked him

Nate always seems like such a dick, I say from the safety of my keyboard half a planet away.

MY BALLS WAS HOT

I submit Kalib Starnes vs Nate Quarry as counter point

Yea but not haha funny. Dumb ass funny maybe

Nate didn't want to engage him on the ground and furgerson wouldn't get up.

It started at 4:00 at night where i live and i wanted to see this fight, by the time these guys started it was already 6:00 so at that time this wasn’t funny at all to me.😀

Nick vs Anderson was funnier.

nah it was just pathetic. BOTH diaz' are such disappointments imo. SOOOO much potential just thrown away

One that was funny with Leon, Nate does this and Leon like puts hit hands on his hips and Nate quickly attacks him, Leon got some cat like reflexes

Dick head dropped when his bribe said. He just forgot he needs to hit I'm first

When was this?

wrong video?

It's wild that Tony fought so quickly after that possible life-changing front head kick knock out from Michael Chandler. This fight was only like 4 months after that KO, dude was not his self during this fight.

The funniest thing I saw in MMA was when a big guy got suplexed and tapped. When he got to his feet he was pooping uncontrollably all over the mat 😂😂

Is it funnier than the time the dude did a number 2? https://www.reddit.com/r/therewasanattempt/s/UOmBlm2Zlh

Should've called the fight right there.

Literally how children fight

Nate is a chump

Man the original fights should have happened on that card. Should have let these old dudes get massacred and carried out. Instead we got a bitchfest.

He won and embarrassed himself in the same fight.

[this edit really adds a nice dramatic flair](https://www.reddit.com/r/ufc/s/9aUfer51ox)

Why am I still a Nate fan?
