Diaz v Pettis

Nate gonna have to come up with a gameplan and fight flawless. He is real sloppy defensively and off balance. That forward pressure won’t work cause masvidal can just take him down.
I like the diaz bros but I keep it real.
Both bros boxing is overrated. What they are good at is they have stamina for days and they are tough as nails. Great jits. Their pressure and high volume is what puts fighters in a place they’ve never been and wears dudes out. I’m telling you right now. Neither Diaz bro can take jorge to a place he hasn’t been. Styles make fights and I know for a fact Jorge has been begging for either Diaz bro since minimum 2013.

 

For starters every body has been begging to fight the Diaz brothers for over 5 years because they are a money fight,especially for a journeyman like Masvidal whos only just starting to come into the spotlight.
I would favour Masvidal to win but it won't be an easy fight,like I said even though he may want to fight them I know for a fact Masvidal respects both guys

 

If you ask any of those guys outside maybe Thompson I guarantee none of them would class any of those wins as easy,they did what they had to do to win by winning a boring fight, because they new better then to get into a real war with either Diaz brother.

 

There is no chance in hell Nate gets stopped in the 1st by Masvidal or any fighter for that matter and i'm prepared to have an account bet or any amount you can afford,I don't need your money so i'll find and appropriate charity for you to send when i win

 

It's no secret the formula to beating Nate includes tearing up his front leg and taking him down and wrestling him at every opportunity,those who choose to stand and get into a war with Nate generally end up losing.
While I don't think Masvidal generally is strong in either of those areas,training with guys like Covington will certainly be a positive for him when he inevitably needs to turn to his wrestling when he isn't able to dominate Nate in the stand up striking.

 

If he makes the same kind of defensive errors that he did against Pettis in rd 1 it's very likely to happen. "No chance" is extremely hyperbolic but a bet like those relying on a round is a silly though. Now to the fight in general? That's a different matter. Extremely confident that Masvidal wins.

 

Those were all lopsided performances lol. If those are "easy" I don't know what is. Bendo/Diaz was probably one of the most brutal beatdowns of the year. RDA and MacDonald throughly outclassed him. The judges scorecards for all 3 fights speak to the fact that those were all easy one sided fights.

 

I favour Masvidal to win but i'm even more confident about Nates ability to take damage especially in this fight.
If the fight happens if your confident i'll give you inside 2 or 3 rounds depending on how long the fight,even though you said he starches him inside 1

 

Might be willing to do an avatar and/or voluntary temporary ban bet.

 

I'm not going to make injury excuse but a couple of those fights they were clearly nowhere near there best including the Dos Anjos loss,because they never pull out of fights or come up with petty injuries to postpone or get out of fighting like some of these pussies and ended up taking a few losses but only to the top guys who were all world champions.
All those guys were able to out point and win a boring decision but the fact is that the Diaz bros took minimal damage and were never in danger of getting stopped due to there opponents lack of willingness to engage,like in the Nick v Silva fight when Nick tries everything from putting hands behind back to laying down in front of him in a desperate attempt to get 1 of the deadliest strikers in MMA to fight him

 

Ok sounds good we will come up with something

 

He can be a bit of a ***** and a lot of people don't like him but for anybody interested Luke Thomas has a decent breakdown on his you tube and twitter page of Nates win over Pettis,i'll try and link it here.

Agree with this. Both the Diaz Divas have always been overrated while being fan friendly in their styles. Their pressure and constant volume drowns fighters. It helps them that they have granite chins and can adsorb tonnes of damage.

 

WHAT ? Rda, Ben Henderson, Rory absolutely OWNED Nate Diaz. He had NOTHING for them. Also GSP toyed with Nick Diaz like he was a little boy. I realise people like the Diaz style of fighting and their gangster persona but they were in no way competitive in those fights. I'm just telling it how it is.

 

Overrated LOL there's nothing overrated at all about there longevity and success in 1 of the most dangerous sports in the world or there willingness to fight all the best and the so called toughest fighters in MMA across multiple divisions only losing to world champs,Nick for example until recently was the only person to fight both GSP and Anderson Silva.
Nobody is claiming either to be the best in the world or anything,with there reputation based around how they fight and other things you and i both mentioned here like ability to take damage,quality of opposition etc. and also there willingness to never pull out of a fight which most definitely played a part in fights like Nates loss to Dos Anjos when Nate was way below 100%.
When you fight nothing but killers and the best over 15+ years your bound to have the occasional loss in this sport and it's funny seeing people in here try and use there losses to top 5 ATGs like GSP and Silva and the other world champs including from the divisions above as evidence of them being overrated,especially when almost all there opponents in the losses including GSP and Silva needed to use boring negative tactics to win
