Good stuff, Nick Diaz BJJ looks like some high level **** there, Nate ain`t no slouch on the ground but Nick was on another level.
i feel u. I use to hate this guy but u have to give him a lot of credit now. He is a legit fighter. He is rolling through people. If someone told me that he would beat GSP a year ago i would have laugh in his face. People think GSP is gonna roll over this guy. I now believe Diaz will be the next champ. When need comes to fight he brings its. Also i never notice this before but he has a lot of respect for his opponent.
Yep, Diaz is a true fighter, a worthy guy to have the privilege of being BJ Penn`s last opponent... the torch has been passed from warrior legend to warrior future legend.
I honestly didn't think Penn would run out of steam that fast. I thought the fight would look like it did in the 1st round, with Penn being too fast for Nick. I'm not going to blame the loss on conditioning at this point. Maybe Penn doesn't have the ability to fight the pace he fought in the 1st round regardless of how hard he trains. If there is a rematch, and Penn performs better for a longer time frame, I'll blame this loss on poor preparation.
I just re-watched the fight there, 2 warriors, Diaz boxing is fantastic in MMA, it works so well, BJ was lucky the fight was not stopped in round 2 & round 3 was a solid Diaz round as well... there was nothing in round 1, I loved seeing them on the ground for the little time they were down there also, 2 master BJJ players. Diaz v GSP for 5 rounds is gonna be awesome... can`t wait :good
