[...] the fight, Diaz asked the UFC to step up his level of competition, going so far as to call out Tyson Griffin, who once trained with Diaz under Cesar [...]

I have no respect for unclassy people like nate diaz to me he is a looser he is a terrible representitive for mma his double fingers were totally disrespectful prior to beating peligrino he is an ediot what his worse is none of the people he has beaten since the show are half as tough as manny gamburayan nate is a punk and I hope he gets put in his place it is understandable that tyson griffen left diaz to train with another camp the diaz bros are ediots

Diaz is a joke. This clown will never hold a belt.

Griffin would tear Diaz up like a little girl. Griffin is a top is a top 5 contender. pelegrino is a nobody.

U gotta be friggin kidding me with a comment like that man. Nate diaz has nothing except for a few submissions. Have you ever seen griffins submission defense? LOL

I think Diaz hsa pretty decent BJJ, but that should mean most of his fights will end up being standups. He’s either going to run into someone better than him on the ground or someone smart enough to keep it from going to the ground.

I like Diaz, but he needs to learn some better defense.

Just blocking all those shots with his face is not the way to go. A real puncher will finish him if he doesn’t improve in this area

Nate Diaz will go far in LW – but it isn’t his time just yet. Sure he’s trained with Griffin but Griffin’s moved on to other places – namely Randy’s gym. Tyson Griffin is noooo joke and has been on a tear. He is very fast, scrambles well, and at this point I believe has what it takes to take Nate out of the picture.

BJJ blackbelt or not – if you gas, you are 500% more susceptible to being caught in a submission. If your conditioning is tight, you won’t gas. Tyson Griffin WILL NOT GAS. He’ll take care of Nate like you have to – run him around, gas him out, THEN beat his ass. It’s obvious that once he’s getting pounded he can’t get away. Maybe a beating from Tyson will change the way Nate looks at his game, and set Griffin up for the fights he deserves.

Getting your ass kicked for a round or two and hoping you can hold on long enough to submit a gassed opponent shows great resiliency and toughness (props where it’s due), but is a strategy that will not work with guys like BJ, Kenflo, Sherk and Stevenson running your division.

Joe Silva, set this one up so Nate can get destroyed and rematch Manny. It’s for his own good.

I certainly admire Nates attitude and his BJJ is very good (although lets not get carried away, it’s nowhere near the best in MMA yet)However,unless Nate gets himself some hands his career will be shortlived – you can’t take a pounding like that every fight, even if you do end up winning, and expect to have a long career.

I myself, love a come from behind victory – in any sport. What’s the sense of rooting for the favorite all of the time. I loved when Drew Ficket came from behind to beat Kos in the last 30 seconds of thier fight. Even though I was rooting for Guida, it was HIGHLY entertaining seeing Huerta down 2 rounds to 0 come out and do what he did in the 3rd. Were you upset that Huerta won that fight???

actually most times im rooting for the underdog, and yes i was upset that huerta won. not because of that though, it was because i like guida more. the point im trying to make is that nate’s game plan is to let his face get pummeled until he can pull off a sub. thats sounds bad for his health. its not the first time we’ve seen that from him either.

WHATS GOING ON HERE? ARE WE LOSING THE “QUOTE” FEATURE??? Or is the site experiencing some techinical difficulties? I really hope that its the latter of the two, because losing the “quote” button would be a mistake in my opinion, its used to keep conversations going and to argue valid points.

i agree
