how is he getting a title shot after just beating cerrone?
-.- its not Nate Diaz the lightweight, its his big brother Nick who’s a welterweight
What? Are they like double dragon or something?
dumb ass nigga
lol @ your name
wrong diaz brother. nick beat bj. nate beat cerrone. shocking another confused mma fan on bjpenn.com
Seriously?? You dont know the difference between Nate and Nick? Wtf, I have seen a lot of stupid comments today. But surprisingly THIS one wasnt the dumbest. The dumbest was “Cerrone won the fight.. due to trips…” Was everyone’s resolution was to start smoking crack or something?
+1 +1 all day
Im a day late, but WTF?!
ask cerrone who won that fight and yes nate beat him so he gets a ww title shot a few weeks afterward. What do you even say to that?
Hahaha this shit made me laugh
it must be hard for you to take a shit
lmao!!!
Nah it just falls out
by far the dumbest comment ive seen on anything sports related
U call yourself mmagurf but u don’t know the difference between the Diaz brothers better change your name buddy lol
**** uill put shit on ur dornob
yes..maybe change it to mmagoof
or mmadumbassretardniggerhead
My girlfriend has your brother Anderson on her five but I keep telling her he is gay! She won’t listen.
Same 209 fart, different smell.. i can see how a new soccer mom-mma fan could screw em up
Carlos “Killa” Condit for the KO win!
Condit will crumble under the Diaz pressure game, just like everyone else in the past few years.
Nick will get finisheed by Condit like everybody except 1 guy in his career has And that one guy would destroy Diaz. Condit has the best standup in the division.
Roger dat!
@ PRODIGY:
LOL. Sure, “best standup in the division” just like
Penn had the “best boxing in MMA”, and Daley was the “best KO artist in the division”. We’ve heard it all before son.
Secondly, Jake Ellenberger would never “destroy” Nick Diaz you fool. He’s not even on the same level.
Truth is, Condit is going to get worn down & sub’d (just like he has numerous times during his career).
*You might want to quickly come to the realization that Nick Diaz hasn’t been legitimately finished in an MMA fight in almost 10 years (back when he was 18 years old and very green in the sport…and a loss that he would go on to avenge, twice).
Just like Cerrone and BJ right..lmao I see a good technical stand up battle then a submission by Diaz the first time it goes to the ground..But knowing Nick he will prob decide to stand and just beat him at his own strength.. Should change your name from Chartmonster to Eats Crow..lol..
some ppl never learn. condit will be stockton slapped back to the end of the ww line once nick is done with him.
You should change your name to deepthroatindiaz……knob!
@ heath the stud!
Rather back some real fighters than some cheatin bitches like your boy GSP.. Got that keyboard warrior? Now run along, I think I hear your mom calling you, its time for your bath..
Agreed !
Diaz is defiantly gonna win this one. They also said Paul Daley had better stand up and we saw what happened there lol.
Are we talking about the same fight? The fight that Daley knocked him down at least two times but wasn’t able to finish because he didn’t pick his shots, eventually gassing himself? If we got a couple of Vitor Belfort flavored hits to nicks head, we would have finished that fight and the world would have been a better place in 2012.
Spare everyone the “woulda coulda shoulda” crap pal.
Daley got rope & doped in that fight, he didn’t just get knocked down, he got finished, at his own game, in the first round. That’s what the MMA world will remember from that fight, as they should.
Diaz tko 2nd
wich diaz are we talking about now?
mrs. diaz is fighting condit for the title..nick and nate will be in her corner
ha
Mmagurf needs to keep going.. I haven’t laughed like this in a while
Nick stands in the pocket taking big shots,alot which knock him down, but not out! Im sure Condit will clock him good .But Diaz will pressure box him like all his opponents-
i have been here alot longer then you….u need change your name to dave2 or something,,,you have been here 2 weeks only and its confusing,,,though i agree with most your threads
Lol uppercase Dave and lowercase dave. Problem solved.
This. I <3 BJ Penn and I <3 Cerrone, but people need to give the Diaz brothers their due. It's like this every time.
"_______ will finally expose ______ Diaz!"
*_______ Diaz beats the shit out of ______*
"yeah, well, ______ will finally expose _____ Diaz!"
I agree with your comment. I think that it’s very possible that Diaz will overwhelm Condit, but I’m hoping that Condit gets pissed and snaps and wins the fight decisively like I have seen him do in the past when he was down in a contest. I believe that Condit has the tools to do it, plus he’s not afraid of getting punched in the face. I’m not sure that Condit will quit on himself, and that has been the factor for both the Diaz brothers lately. They typically get their opponents to give up winning and resort to merely surviving. Too bad GSP isn’t healthy, I think that he might have been overwhelmed by either Condit or Diaz, because neither of them let wrestlers keep them down. I think that Condit is the bigger fighter in this case, no? Not having the reach advantage may make Diaz less effective than in the past when he has been longer.
Nate Diaz. “They are paying me in chronic”. i know not nick but honestly they probably did give him like a boat load of money and a 50,000 gift certificate to the best dispensary in cali.
love the mary jane
Nick Diaz***
Good fight, both have the tools to win so let the best man win!. Condit fans should be happy with him being the underdog on the betting lines, you can more than double your money but I’ve learned not to bet against Nick from past experiences.
rooting for a Natural Born Killer win! hope this guy pulls it off. am I alone in thinking that Nick Diaz has been taking a ton of shots lately and Condit might be the stray that breaks the camel’s back? I know I’ve posted this comment a few times… anyway, its in the 1st round where we’ll be able to see whether or not Condit stands to win…
Tons of fighters have dropped nick.. Carlos can finish the deal!
Pretty sweet, want to see properly how Diaz trains, plus who doesn’t love to hear his stories hahaha
DIAZ LIGHTWEIGHT AND WELTERWEIGHT CHAMPS. PERIOD.
In strikeforce or Bellatore
Not Bellator.Best wrestler in MMA over there Ben Askren would drive him through the cage with his takedowns. Easy UD for Askren.
just what u and chart hope for in mma fights =)
Hey it is what it is. Askren would win the fight and remain champ. You used to say Fitch would UD Diaz easy now when i say Askren would it its something different?
nope i said fitch sucks and i say askren sucks. i hope askren gets hendricksed soon for being like fitch, they are the shit stains of mma.
Jay got robbed. Askrin sucks.
This is a while ago. I clearly remember you saying Fitch would lay on Diaz and beat him. You said it would be boring as hell but he would do it. Im just stating something similar which is most likely true. The funny thing is Chart said maybe Strikeforce or Bellatorr but the thing is Diaz wouldnt be champ in either. Woodley at SF beats him and Askren at Bellator.
Wrestling bring a different variable to the fight game..can’t kick bc of the TD. Difficult to counter ..the next generation fighter will master wrestling ..bjj and Muay Thai equally..that’s scary. A combo of Chael / Reem / Maia…damn!
u still think its very possible for fitch to fitch diaz. so i stick by what i said but i still say it will be boring and lame to watch. wrestling is only so effective becuz of how limited the guy is on his back. its literally stand back up, try to sweep or reverse, or defend yourself there isnt much room for attacking off your back. that is the only reason why i keep saying i wish they allowed upkicks for downed opponents becuz they literally have no option for attacks unless theyre just super badass like anderson silva and can elbow someone then triangle them.
After beej kicked his ass in the first lest we forget!
Prodigy, if I remember correctly.. Wasn’t Diaz the SF champ before vacating it to come to the UFC??
Super easy win for nick carlos can’t c his hands on c him on the ground
Diaz to win on points due to continual zero power face taps
“zero power face taps”:
Tell that to Robbie Lawler. lol
I like both fighters but Diaz might just have this one. I can see Condit winning with knees though, since both Diaz brothers don’t defend them too well. Condit tends to drop his hands when he knees though, so it’s just a matter of how well each fighter counters.
It should be an awesome fight.
