The Diaz brothers are the hardest in the history of MMA.

It's doesn't look that nice, in fact it's outright ugly as ****, but just imagine a guy that keeps putting hands on your face, even with minimal power, they're constantly there, and no matter what you do he keeps laying leather across your chin. Meanwhile everything you hit him with seems to have no effect. Diaz ate multiple head kicks last night without so much as blinking. You could lay a baseball bat across the face of either of those guys (something I'd take great pleasure in seeing), and they'd taunt you and keep slapping you in the face. I hate them both, but they can ****ing fight.

 

If he's feather-fisted why did Cerrone spent 14 minutes of the fight backing up? In addition, Donald's face was a mess after the fight, you can't damage someone like that with pitty-pat punches. And Cerrone is tough as hell. I see the Diaz bros like the Antonio Margarito of the UFC. They're slow and not the best technical fighters, but they will overwhelm you and bust you up, unless they run into an elite fighter. Especially Nick, who's definitely the better of the two.

 

Say what you want but Condit is not going to beat Nick either. I cant stand them but be objective, Nick almost killed BJ (no one has done that). You'll need the very top guys to beat these two. The likes of GSP, Edgar, Maynard.

 

But are they the realest?

 

:good

 

Also the trillest....

 

And the silliest. :yep

 

Love bj penn but his weakness has always been his stamina and he look like he ran out of gas after the first round. Not taking anything away from nick. He fought great and beat bj's ass but condit is no joke.

dude can strike too and he has better reach than bj. He could give nick a good fight and wouldn't be surprise if he comes out on top. Dude got power in those hands too so nick better watch out.

 

How anyone can dislike the Diaz brothers, as fighters, is well beyond me. They bring it every single time, win or 'lose' and consistently put on exciting fights. Nick put on three of the most exciting fights of 2011 alone, and Nate gets better and better every fight, despite his setbacks at WW.

Plus, I really don't think they are nearly as dumb as the general populace claims. They are clearly uncomfortable around the media, and are far from eloquent, but I genuinely don;t think they are stupid people. I don;t particularly like the term misunderstood, but if it fit anybody, it's the Diaz brothers. Especially Nick.

 

Now I wish I'd clicked on this thread earlier

 

Their timing and reach seems to kill everyone. They both work as sparring partners for Andre Ward and it has really paid off in recent years.

 

diaz brothers all daaaay

 

Nog
Shogun
Hughes

to name a few.


I have grown to like the Diaz brothers, I'm a fan of both now. But neither have faced the elite of their weightclass yet. BJ is elite in any weightclass but he was undersized and gassed the eff out quickly! Also he looked like he was crying on the way to the ring...there was something not right about him.

Let's see Diaz fight:
GSP/Fitch/Hendricks/Ellenberger/MacDonald/Alves/Koscheck/Condit
those are the top WWs, and he has fought none of them, then we'll see how hard he is.

 

They would all be fantastic match ups.
