Nate and Tony looked like my two drunk uncle's fighting

nah yo, ive seen that and it wasnt that bad lol. definitely bellator ish looking

They could say that people who are negative and are hype trains as well are the reason why people tune in, that is a lie, people tune in to see the good guys like you and like the ones who stand truly for what martial arts is. The good guy finishes in the end so he wins.

[@sonofadam4339]

@Nora(8 it's only cool to the people trying to be cool it's only racist to the people trying to be racist I wish that were only true but it's not everything is so screwed up these days my great-grandmother Fannie Mae was a slave but she wasn't black she was Irish I'm at her when I was like 10 minutes the last time I ever seen her she died but if we went up there to see her when she died I was like 10 she just logging on herself she couldn't even talk to you just look at you like she was going to eat you. That stuck with me a long time. My granny she grew up over here her entire life and she got married when she was 13 what's going right away she had it pretty rough so she had to work her ass off I had dirt floors and she's not going to be around much longer to me I'd never say it because the rest of the world could be stuck on pigment but my last name means son of Adam and I seriously battle way deeper than skin deep I'm, I'm working connected with plants than I am with people, and the plants actually work harder too they take the little bit of rain they get from the very bottom loop from every root I'll take it all the way to the top leaf there's thought process and an ivy growing up a house

[@ericfleming347]

Just the size and strength difference alone would have been ridiculous Cum Shot is a true 185 fighter while Nate is a 155 fighter who just doesn't want to cut weight anymore. Nate has great Jujitsu so you never know if he could have got him with something if Cum was being to aggressive but due to the size and strength difference the probability of Nate submitting him would have been extremely low.

[@happyjemini]

That's why he missed weight. To avoid the easy fight andto take on the hard battle tested holland. Lmfao.

[@davidagiel8130]

That was never a doubt even before the fight

[@marko6489]

​@@ericfleming347 he made 170 so many times in his career and looked just as good. Did literally the same thing to Leech. And if you can make the weight, you belong to that weight class. PERIOD. There are many downsides to cutting too much weight, like worse cardio and endurance so the term weight bully makes zero sense.. it's a trade off.

Daniel - You're a class act, Bto'! Thank you for staying positive about Khamzat. None of these guys are "gangsters". I spent 1/2 of my adult life locked up, and I know that "gangsters" aren't Pro Boxers OR MMA fighters. Gangsters are not disciplined enough, and they let OTHERS do their fighting for them....with a gun! But like a lot of men wanna be gangsters or fighters. Nobody can be everything. Fighters need to stop using that "G" word! That's on Nate! He's no "G"!! There are some crazy kids in Stockton. But they can't begin to compare to people from Harlem or Compton! The Wolf is a dangerous=ass "Wolf"! All should top using gangster titles! Fighters aren't gangsters. Gangsters use guns, not fists! Poor Khamzat was dropped into Western culture and was just trying to fit in! He is a good guy and could RAG DOLL Nate any day! But I love Nate. He's just crazy to think he could beat down Khamzat. The streets of Stockton - which I know well, cannot compare to WAR in Chechnia! Khamzat has a broken heart and nightmares, that can generate RAGE....on call! He'll be tough to beat for a long time!

But the standup was off balance, overextending and telegraphing his punches. Nate was rather easily winning the fight 3-0 heading into the 4th in my opinion. I would've bet a lot that Nate Diaz's scar tissue would've been opened up by Tony. Not sure where he goes from here but I will always be a massive Tony fan.
