www.theguardian.com/sport/vid...

[@2869may]

1) Nate won season five Ultimate Fighter, and was very helpful to his teammates 2) Nate has beaten Conor McGreger, Michael Johnson, Donald Cerrone, Takanori Gomi, Grey Maynard, Jim Miller, Marcus Davis, Josh Neer, Melvin Guillard, YOU might not know some of these guys, but they're not easy fights... 3) 8 first round finishes. 4 ) Tied with Joe Lauzon for most post fight bonuses in UFC history- 14 5) CESAR GRACIE black belt. 6) Nate holds the record for Most strikes landed by a UFC fighter. 7) Fight of the Night.... 8 times. 8) Submission of the Night.... 5 times. 9) He has saved many UFC cards, by stepping up on short notice... like he did at 196, which also SAVED conors payday. 10) Nate was recognized and awarded by the state of Cali. for helping and teaching underprivileged kids. 11) He got to put the Stockton Slap across Dana Whites FAT HEAD...lol

[@christophertran2433]

Awesome resume. Too bad people only look at one or two things rather than the big picture. Plus we as people sometimes put too much/little weight on certain things. Awesome list.

[@MTatere]

9) He didn't _save_ McGregor's payday, Mcgregor picked Nate from a list of willing opponents and even let Nate off from making weight. Why? Mutual respect.

[@Lynxchillin08]

Nick Even Mcgregor respects Nate, all the people who hate are just fan boys of Conor's and don't actually watch the sport or Mcgregor opponents unless it's him fighting.. Anyone with a slight passion for MMA would recognise what Nate has done throughout his career.

[@2869may]

Martin Tatere No one else wanted to take the fight on that short of notice, is what I heard. Nate stepped up and saved the card....AGAIN..! it did save conor's payday.

[@christophertran2433]

True

[@MorComm]

I hate the way the general public accepts the bs story that Nate is a dummy when the fact is that he's really, really smart. Smart enough not to let a shit talking persona get in his way. He's always honest and speaks the plain truth. His analysis of fights is always spot on. It pays to listen carefully to what he says.

[@Whiskey10209]

Bruce Morris I like Nate a lot but sometimes he just says what he feels in that moment. That's great and all, wearing your heart on your sleeve. But sometimes the shit he says contradicts other shit he says and does. He's like the most shit talking humble guy ever. It's hilarious.

[@MorComm]

I think I recognize the space that Nate is coming from. I grew up in Bayview-Hunters point out by the shipyards and the SF city dump, sort of like Stockton-Lodi, maybe worse if that's possible. Like Bob Dylan once put it, "To live outside the law you have to be honest" - brutally honest.

[@andymma6286]

Yea i noticed his iq if u would in nick vs kj noons after the round was over nate los that round and was really beaten up and nate diaz goes in there and tries to relax nate the way he talks to him and he tells him to clinch first before attempting a takedown. idk he saw something nick wasnt seeing and would of helping him if the fight wasnt stopped by the dr

[@ceebee312]

Got nothing but respect for Nate, even as a McGregor fan, I thought he won the rematch. Hoping for a trilogy down the road ...

[@swp2157]

Colton Begay we need more people like u in this world

[@the22game]

the fuck? even casuals who don't know the sport had it Conor winning. Why you not seeing your man scoring W's in the rounds?

[@andymma6286]

Your comment changed my life, there is hope in this world.

[@weakbrainthrombosis]

Colton Begay the ufc needs to add more judges, and more specific scoring criteria.

[@TheWopper78]

Love Nate Diaz he's hands down my FAVORITE fighter in and out of the Octagon he's a true warrior with true personality, people's champ all day

[@giants2k8]

The security guard to Nate's right looks like Tupac. 😂

[@elcamaleon2471]

2-0, both fights ended with Nate on top. 15 more seconds in the 2nd fight and he wouldve strangled Conor again

[@nathandoyle3262]

Gallopingfish You're an idiot

[@blankz.2096]

Gallopingfish agreed

[@Monscent]

100% true. Nate came the closest to stopping the 2nd fight too, and it was only given to Connor to make a 3rd huge moneyfight possible. Casual fans think that a knockdown is a win or a KO, but it simply isnt. Connor was afraid to follow nate on the ground, easy as that.

[@solarblitz4524]

That's completely irrelevant. If Nate could've choked him that easily he shouldn't have waited till the end of the 5th to finally get a trip. If you tack on extra 15 seconds you could change the outcome of a lot of fights. He lost, get over it.

[@carlosc.1568]

Nathan Doyle He's right. Conor was scared like a bitch, running from him the whole fight (except the 1st round)

[@samdavinchi1624]

Nate. I am a big big fan of yours. Praising from Iran. You are the greatest. We believe that you bit conor TWICE

[@JuveX0]

I was high as fuck watching this but Nate brought me back to reality with all that fucking truth this boy spit. REALEST MOTHAFUCKAS IN THE GAME THEM DIAZ BOYS.

[@benpettit4281]

Nate is one of my all time favorites. The UFC has treated him and Nick like shit.

[@Monscent]

"won the lotto". And they call him humble in defeat lol. Nate OWNED him.

[@Human-jz8ee]

Monscent doesn't mean hes wrong , conor owned daiz.

[@jamesmckendry2247]

Conor and Nate are BOTH my favorite fighters....

[@cheapshic]

me too

[@MTatere]

That's RACIST!

[@alexscott730]

I'll reply how Nate would reply..."Nank you vewy mush man,dat means a fuck load yo."

[@joeycoco3261]

i feel the exact same way i love both the diaz brothers and mcgregor is fucking awsome. really hard to root for someone in the conor vs nate fights. all i can hope for is a good fight if the trilogy happends.

[@unrationaI]

probably because you only started watching ufc when they both fought

[@combatxhoop7069]

Conor fan here but also a Diaz bros fan. 🐐 GOATS

[@zunf1sh]

The UFC should really promote the Diaz bro's more, alot more. At least Nathan. He really deserves it. And oh does Nathan looks high asf in that interview thing in the middle~

[@Mr-ns9yt]

nate is great

[@eddebevic2097]

Won the lotto? as I recall Mcgregor was the only one that got finished from both fight's, I love how Mctapper brags on himself,

[@MrRickjitsu]

...straight up one of the realest people you'll ever see in front of the camera....props.

[@251648]

Huge McGregor fan, but I love the diaz bros. Wish they'd let nick back in there. Nate is smart to not fight anyone until Mcgregor 3.. he could fight 10 times and not make as much $ as that one fight will bring, and if he was to lose to someone else, it would probably make Mcgregor 3 not happen. Mad respect to Nate, tough as nails and real af

[@prfu1222]

Pac and Nate. Two muthaphuckin G'S

[@justinkovach7927]

I would love to see a Trilogy fight or just Nate coming back to the octagon to fight! period!

[@drew2truth]

DANA, PAY THIS MAN! HE DESERVES IT!!

[@Plaster10p]

Amazing short

[@yongkaiangs5049]

Being a Huge fan of Daiz brothers massive respect 💯

[@realitycheckyourself8830]

THIS VIDEO IS GREAT, WHERE IS THE REST OF IT?

[@bobbyrazak]

Reality Check Yourself that's it lol

[@rzrselliott]

It's a *short* film

[@mariebarns2444]

DIAZ ALLDAY💪💪💪💪👊👊👊👊

[@jonathanwright2925]

Nate hates on Conor less then Conors fans just hate on everyone. Nothing is more real then him saying Conor was calling out a ton of weight classes and says "This is the mother fucker you gotta take out." to get paid out. I've known about Nate for years and in spite of what anyone wants to say. He isn't scrooge mc duck rich but he earned every penny of what he does have.

[@Human-jz8ee]

Jonathan Wright dumb ass it's not the conor fans who start shit tho

[@jonathanwright2925]

Interesting you go straight to insulting though? Calling me a dumb ass when you have no idea who I am or anything about me? It really kind of makes your argument seem a little ironic doesn't it? Think about it.

[@villain3131]

Jonathan Wright couldn't agree more . If they go again in the next year Nate has to be paid 20 mil plus . That will be the biggest ppv in UFC history .

[@Monscent]

Paulo Ecletik Connor ia the one thats ducking title defences and instead doing spectacle fight a for cash where he risks nothing. He's a coward and will lose his belt within two fights if he ever dares to defend it.

[@Seanself363]

Lol at how conor fans proved your point in replies to you. Agree though like, there's more respect between the fighters than Conor fans have for MMA. Conor fans are the WORST

[@1904...]

We want the 3rd!!

[@btothefman]

How can you not like this bloke

[@michaelgroskopf9878]

He looks so much like Nick. It’s crazy. Yo, he’s what ufc should be. He’s amazing.

[@Vibezola]

Diaz brothers are legends

[@ty_muaythai1636]

Much respect to big nate 💯

[@JohnDoe-wr7zh]

11 seconds into the vid. HOLY SHIT TUPAC LIVES!! LOL!!!!

[@dionrinaldo9668]

Love Nate. Love Conor. Great representatives for mma

[@Drewtheking91]

best ufc record high if there is a 3 two of the best

[@nathanhth]

Nate Diaz was the perfect answer to Conor. They both are making MMA much bigger than it was. Both have that ability to gather a fan following and are obviously warriors in the cage. Big fan of both.

[@markkasseybaum5115]

Nate deserves way more money than any of them UFC U NEED TO PAY THE RIGHT MAN

[@EDeeire]

They need to have that trilogy at Levi's Stadium. NorCal all day.. oh and the Irish could use some sunlight too lol..

[@portraitphenomenon]

Will a third fight ever happen between Diaz & Mc ?

[@annalana2176]

the Security guard at 0:10 looks like Tupac xD

[@dc210dc]

NATE KEEP IT 💯PROOF

[@mikevrabel5349]

The man

[@alanherrera5975]

Conor and Nate are both dope San fighters

[@meezdooz5179]

MUCH LOVE TO STOCKON!!!!👍👍👍👍

[@devildickdeep]

Once again There's a fine line of RESPECT between Conor McGREGOR and Nate DIAZ.

[@marceloribeiro5901]

Nate Diaz fazer filmes de ação.

[@MartinAston00]

2:20 - 3:10... those are the most intelligent words I've ever heard come out of Nate's mouth👍🏼

[@MrAngelthebeast]

Oh my god,Nate Diaz.

[@chillwill9014]

Nate just looks like a fighter. When people see him in the street they know he isn't working some office job. He probably eats spiders for breakfast.

[@alikombi6781]

Picture that guy in the octagon that does the announcements NATE DIAAAAAZZZZ

[@Unknown-xm5ry]

Nate with that tank top ,Mayweather on the side the bosses don't wear no suit nah cuz Nate Diaz don't give a fuck about what others think of him that's why

[@weakbrainthrombosis]

It’s the coolest shit ever when he slaps dudes in the middle of the fight.

[@limitless_legacy9690]

anybody else see tupac in background?

[@gerardocastillo5033]

A Izzy he left Cuba cause the hurricanes..

[@limitless_legacy9690]

could be lol, he's like i'd rather be in LA smoking weed with Nate Diaz and pretend to be his body guard lol

[@gerardocastillo5033]

A Izzy haha ha😂😂😂

[@marymcdermott8619]

Nate is a beast!

[@great567]

Nate might have taken a beating but JUST THINK about how powerful Conor is and yet after a million left hooks he still had Conor on his back at the end of their second fight! Now that's super human!

[@balooooo11]

Nate= baddest man on the planet

[@damianvan4285]

If it wasn't for steroids, Conor wouldn't even be in the UFC anymore.

[@astrostar7018]

I thought that was 2puc, right on the left hand side, at the beginning of this video.

[@toolongblade3799]

I think Nate is a bit of an introvert. Good dude and introverts are actually more interesting people in many ways.

[@masjut1]

Fucking king of mma

[@thedude2264]

From the era where the idc didn't pay their fighters, they still don't pay shit. It's all incentive based and unless you're top 3ish in your weight class you probably won't make more than mid 6 figures and be taxed on top of that, it's had to suck being under an old ufc contract and watching all these new kids come around making 3 and 4 times as much for accomplishing half as much. (and he lives in Cali so there's half his money right there)

[@marcoosorio3705]

Nate looks great at 170lbs.

[@MR._Mukherjee]

💙

[@anthonycastillo3384]

HOW THE FUCK HAVE I NOT COME ACROSS THIS YET💯 SHOUT OUT 2 ALL MY NICK DIAZ ARMY BRO'S N SIS'S IN THE COMMENTS N ACROSS THE WORLD ALL THE WAY 2 SPACE 🥋👊💯🎄😤💨 #DIAZBRO'S2021RETURN

[@markhernandez1376]

Nate Diaz gives me bad anxiety when he talks

[@conaldthenotoriousmcpussyg9868]

anyone else want to rewatch the ultimate fighter before the conor trilogy

[@boyvasquez2823]

Give Nate the trilogy, and then let him ride off to the sunset,

[@DimitrisTheofilopoulos]

that dude looked like 2pac

[@Monscent]

This is the man that Connor is ducking hard atm.

[@FreakWithGun]

Do you truly believe that Nate will stand a chance at 155?

[@MrPsycheuk]

Every bald black dude looks like Tupac apparently.

[@robstory173]

The division is lucky it aint a fight till death. Becuase if it was a fight till death, this guy would always win with his insane cardio and insane chin.

[@marliesdegrote-jacobus4926]

Nathan Diaz ❤️

[@vivekbhardwajvlogs19]

Nate the real G

[@knuppfkssoares9679]

Mito !Aperta um do bom!!!

[@julezdomept1868]

[@thetreverpitts]

[@Bojan-tg2vk]

#Better fighter#1.NATE

[@TheGuerillapatriot]

[@casperaudi7476]

Dude just scare those 2 lady's SMH just so he can say OH Shit probably the only words he learned when he was a child.

[@griley266]

this is old before they even had the 2nd fight

[@user-do1wv3ve1n]

Too right bra You been bleeding for this sport how long? Then this Irish kid walks in, rolling in cash ?!?!? Ain't half the fights Nate's had, never mind Nick, WTF maaan Is there a "UFC Hall Of Fame"? Cos Nate n Nick Diaz should be right in there !!!!!!!!! In the heart of it Diaz Bros 🙏

[@stoneman3079]

[@sharkattack8560]

[@luckychow83]

[@stevenlittle1408]

Hey TUPAC is still alive he is at the beginning as a security guard walking with him... THEY SHOULD BE FIGHTING FOR #3 INSTEAD OF LITTLE FLOYD MAYWEATHER @!!!!!!

[@kksdiiiv1447]

Tupac hey how ya doing man..

[@schumann]

It sucks, you can see him limping in this video from his knee injury. If he's healthy - he is gonna kill him in the trilogy

[@zedgee4514]

nate should not fight conor unless he gets 50/50 deal

[@marthenchien9299]
