Nate Diaz of UFC fame was primary training partner of Ward for Dawson

As per The Diaz Brothers Twitter account, Nate Diaz who will be challenging for the UFC Lightweight Championship in December on FOX, apparently was the primary training partner of Andre Ward for his fight last night with "Bad" Chad Dawson. Here is the Tweet;

Diaz Brothers ‏@DiazBrothers209 RT @CesarGracieBJJ:

This is not the first time either of the Diaz Brothers (Nick or Nate) have spent a training camp sparring with Ward, although usually when they do it's for one of the brothers MMA fights.


Just thought this was a kinda cool factoid, and wanted to share with the group :good


WAR Andre! WAR Nick! WAR Nate! :bbb

 

Well he has great boxing...for MMA All I know is both Nick and Nate have trained extensively with Ward, and I've even heard rumors Nick has held his own with Andre on more then one occasion. Anyway, Nate must be good enough, if Ward was using him as his primary training partner, I mean it's not like he can't hire anybody he wants.

 

Okay thanks Debbie Downer lol, I thought this was a cool little piece of info, it wasn't meant to **** people off.

 

I think they are both equally outstanding, remember when Nick was (Strikeforce WW Champion) wanting to try his hand at the sweet science? Cesar was getting fights lined up with Jeff Lacey and Fernando Vargas, don't know how well that would have turned out lol. But I would have been rooting for him, Diehard Diaz Brother fan here, favorite fighters (MMA or Boxing) hands down.

 

True...very true. Although The Diaz brothers Twitter account re-tweeted it, and I don't think they would lie just to make themselves look better. There not those type of people, pretty straightforward, tell it like it is types.

 

Same here man, nothing but respect for both men!

Did you notice how considerably shorter Nick's camera time was to that of Carlos'? Nick just really doesn't like the spotlight, just wants to be the best and that's it lol.

Also don't know if you noticed, but the cameras didn't visit anybody else in Nick's life except his brother and teammates/coach. Not his mom (that I can remember) or anything. Well I take that back, they interviewed one of his elementary school teachers, who said he even was a little bad ass dude, with the mean mug even back then lol.
