NICK QUIT!!! What Really Happened (Nick Diaz vs Robbie Lawler 2)

Nick Diaz vs Robbie Lawler 2 ended in a strange manner where it seemed like Nick Diaz quit in the fight after getting dropped. What was Diaz doing well? What did Lawler do well? Why did Nick Diaz quit?

It was sad to see him in that state of not really knowing who he is anymore, now that he knows (or at least ‘should’ know) fighting isn’t it for him at this point.

I genuinely believe Robbie was taking it easy on Diaz because he knew where Diaz’s mindset and health was at. Even hyping up the crowd by letting Diaz up, it wasn’t because he was scared of the BJJ he didn’t want to seriously hurt Diaz. Also explains the body hunting.

This really shows that Nicks and Nates toughness is a mental thing not a physical. It was a bit sad to watch him quit, because that really shows that he was not motivated. Lawler on the other hand seemed to enjoy himself. Also, i love Nicks boxing abbilities. He used combinations that you don't see too often in mma. Like left hooks to the body and multiple left hooks in a row.

@Big papa not dumb lol he said in their fighting prime for a reason.. Nick and Robbie fought in the early UFC days that was nowhere near their fighting prime

[@jambertin54]

Nick was not in great shape because he couldn't train. He wasn't hurt from the punch. He had an injury. He had ruptured discs in his neck during this fight. He had to do the fight, he couldn't cancel and he basically did the fight for free because he had to pay his fine still for testing positive for cannabis years ago and had bills to pay. So, instead of fucking up his neck worse, he chose to not continue. That is what REALLY happened.

[@AMediumSizedKodiak]

Honestly there is a fuller picture here. Remember Nick talking about how hard it was to watch Nate v Edwards? He said it changed him watching his baby brother get so bloodied up like that, he is a different person than he was before, between that and the gym teaching kids MMA. Notice in the post fight interview, he specifically says "i know im leaking, i didnt wanna make a mess everywhere" when has a Diaz ever said something like that? Well watch the post fight interview again and take note of Nate in the corner and I think the pieces come together. Regardless of how it could have ended, we would have seen a lot of blood leaking from Nick. And I think he did not want Nate to see that. Idk, i could be wrong. But i genuinely think Nick has changed and the fight game is over for him. He will always be a great and I hope he excels at whatever he does, even if it winds up being fighting again, but I genuinely believe we have seen the last of Nick Diaz in the octagon.

[@LaPlasita47]

logical enough for the fact he loves his baby brother he said that he meant everything to him and forsure I can see that thinking of him also all the kids he's been teaching he said he wouldn't want to see them fight.

Diaz looked injured to me. Uncharacteristicly coasted along the fence the entire fight, rarely moved forward and when he did he moved back to the fence.

[@mikeyo7484]

90 percent he was injured re watch the fight a few more times and you’ll see all the little details. It only makes it more suspicious that he couldn’t cut weigh bc he simply “didn’t wanna” Robby could have easily said no. I think Nick lied and fought injured and why he quit god knows but it wasn’t bc he broke his nose. Alotta ppl fight with broken noses all the time yeah it Clogs your airways a lot but he’s a triathlon runner. Something also is fucked up in his camp. I think Nate cut him off on money bc he has his own family now and told Nick it’s his turn bc he’s tired of holding down the family on money. Some ppl might say he makes money off other shit but obviously it’s not enough or he wouldn’t have fought at all.

I don't see it as him "looking for a way out", he basically just called the fight himself, he didn't fake anything, or turtle up and wait for the ref to call it, he was dazed by a big shot, knew his limits a basically called the fight himself. more respect to him, most fighters egos would not allow them to do that. would you have rather have seen him get knocked out cold or "just bleed".

Something was bothering him, whatever made him change the fight to 185, I am surprised that he quit though, must have been a really hard shot from Robbie, I saw Nick getting discouraged that he couldn't drop Robbie with all those punches.

I didn't finish your video this time but one thing you said at the beginning about the type of punch that finished the fight and who could've guessed that and that they couldn't write that stuff... I don't think nick would ever sell out that's not what I'm saying but maybe someone did write this fight. I mean there are things in this world we may never have an answer that eases our minds. One thing I know is that no matter what Nck was/is doing or what he was/is thinking, I trust that. It's all good.

He didn't do all that bad for someone who hasn't fought at that level in 6 years. He def was a lot better then Tito and Chuck. Was glad to see he could still have the same type of out put as he used to. Sure the punches may not have been as hard or fast but think about how much he threw after being off for 6 years. I'd love to see him do some boxing as I think that suits him much better at this age. I hope this loss doesn't hurt Nick but only helps him get back on track with his life.
