I can’t wait to see you cry after Jr knocks this wanna be out… You can’t teach tough… Jr knocked a very good fighter out after having his other arm broke in a fight..

look manny is a tough guy, but unfortunately he is not fun to watch ,like his cousin karo. who is one of my favorites to watch but a complete a hole as a person.
manny really does just take people down put his head on their chest and attempt to wing these weak little love pats from the outside and his short little arms really dont even reach their target 90 percent of the time. hes just a little bulldog who is good at holding people down, he has good hips and an exellent base. if he was just a few inches taller he would be the man to beat i think but unfortunately hes not; therefore hes not at all fun to watch fight…boring

Nate had nothing but tough fights on the show, maynard-hill-emerson-manvill. This kid is fuckin tough like his brother and shares the same attitude. This sport is not bodybuilding so who cares what he looks like and as far as his lisp goes…it never seemed to bother Mike Tyson when he knocked out his first 15 opponents. This kid is going to do great. I’m a big fan of the Diaz brothers.

[quote post="2778"]I wouldn’t say that Diaz won TUF, but he just didn’t lose. [/quote]

I’d have to disagree. Nate won 3 fights previous to the Manny fight, and looked impressive in all of them. Of course one can argue that he didnt’t look overly impressive against Corey Hill because he kinda got tossed around, but Hill is 6 foot 6 and probably cuts a good amount of weight. Even in situations where Natewas getting pounded on against Maynard while being on the bottom postion on the ground, he easily and quickly pulled off submission after submission until he got him to tap for the submission victorie. Do not underestimate BJJ specialists while they are on their backs, and have thier opppenant in thier guard. And remember that Nate is just a kid. He just turned 22. He is still considered a baby in this game. He has tons of time to build some muscle mass and improve on every aspect of mma.

[quote comment="107997"]I really hope that Diaz wins this. I’d be upset he if loses his first fight after winning TUF. [/quote]

[quote comment="107930"]Why does everyone say Manvel “dominated”? It seemed to me like he just layed on him while Diaz tried for different submissions.

Regardless, I look forward to seeing Nate submit this guy, and then “dominating” his next fight against Manvel.[/quote]
Yeah i’m not a fan of Manny he seems to play the blanket game.

Nate needs more time and training before he will be able to hang with the top LW’s. Maybe he should go up a weightclass. I dont know much about Assuncao so i dont know how this fights gonna go.

I’m saying the other guys win via KO, just because.

I see Nate Diaz being very successful in the UFC. This should serve as a good fight. My prediction is Diaz by sub. via 2nd round
