[@SideShowRob1985]

When Brett asked Nate, why Khamzat Chimaev, Nate was trying to explain that when he was an up and coming fighter, he had no desire to fight the legends of the sport at that time like BJ Penn, etc because he respected them but these modern day fighters take joy in knocking out or beating the legends of this new era like a Nate Diaz himself, or when Izzy beat Anderson Silva, or how Usman wanted to fight a retired GSP!

This isn't what he said at all lol. He's saying belts don't make the fighter. He was fighting for more than a belt. His record shows him fight the best, a belt says nothing.

You can tell Nate and Brett have a solid relationship and Brett knows how to conduct an Nate Diaz interview and just let the man speak his mind. Love how it ended on Nate saying “I almost beat up Dana at a club” lmao

[@hotfunyunsop6196]

"the fight isn't about this guy, it's about making this guy" I've never seen Nate be so open, you can tell he's had a lot on his chest. The fact Nate of all people denied wanting this fight while Dana has been saying he asked for it is absolutely disgusting.

[@nhcity4489]

He said he didn’t want it because khamzat hasn’t done enough. Then he said “give him someone like burns. If he beats burns I’ll fight him”

[@truthxposed8975]

They shouldn't be putting a 28 year old against a 37 year old at this elite level. T levels are higher in a 28 year old. The 28 year old doesn't have aging skin and old gash scars that can pop like a grape. Even old concussion damage from getting knocked around for 9 extra years. Khamzat is going to throw him around worse than Rory did 2011. I love Nate and even though I don't want him to lose, I'm afraid he's going to. UFC is wrong for this.

People can argue all day long about how technical his fighting is, how good his boxing is, how smart he is, etc. etc. But nobody can argue that Nate isn't a God damned gladiator with as much heart and will and determination as any other fighter we've ever seen... and I hope he isn't putting too much pressure on himself for this fight because, regardless of the outcome, he's already cemented himself as an absolute LEGEND of the sport.

Hi, if you are not saved, and would like to be included in the rapture of the church. Believe that Jesus's death on the cross, was enough to pay for ALL your sins , yes ALL ,(past, present and future) That is what the Gospel is about. We are saved by GOD'S amazing grace, through our faith in Jesus's sinless life, death on the cross and resurrection 3 days later . No additional works needed. It is literally that simple. Ephesians 2:8-9 Romans 10:9-10 Romans 4:5

[@Jack-ur7mq]

Casual.

[@TheOne-uc9rz]

I think people misunderstand Nate, especially those that call him “delusional” when he claims he’s the goat. When he says he’s the goat, he means in the sense that, he’s been doing this since guys like Usman were in high school, Izzy was break dancing and GSP, Penn were the man. Basically, longevity, and influence is what he refers to when he states he’s the goat. Also the factor of not being put out cold whilst majority of fighters have been fighting less than him and yet have been KO’d numerous amount of times. And the fact that he’s never begged for anything or had to be the UFC’s puppet. Plus how he changed the game with CBD, picking his own fights etc. it’s a bigger picture than people realise.

[@kelakogreenaddict1888]

well, thats what you think he means anyhow
