VIDEO | Nate Diaz Thinks Gilbert Melendez Is The Best
“I’ve been training with Gilbert and Jake (Shields) for years. They’ve shown me a lot. These are guys I look up to. Me and Gil been battling it out in here for years. There’s no one better than him. There’s no doubt in my mind he’s the best 155′er on the planet and I think he deserves to be right there in the UFC holding the UFC belt. He’s the man.”

You couldnt finish Nate at 170, what makes you think you could do it at 155…?
C’mon down
Come down to lightweight punk all slap your bitch ass up
you’ll get rag dolled again homie
this article says nothing more than this “if you train with nate diaz enough his unorthodox style can be picked apart.
The more I watch Nate Diaz, the more respect I gain for him. BEAST of a fighter, look forward to him take on the winner of Bendo vs. Edgar II
He’ll get a shot after Bendo vs. Edgar III
Ha!
milendez is not the best. I’d bet on BJ, Nate, Bendo, Edgar, and maybe Maynard, Cerrone, Guillard or Pettis. I have not been impressed with Gilbert at all. He has Jake Shields status. Nick was wrong about Jake and Nate is wrong about Gil.
we’ll just have to see how he does against josh thomson.
Josh injured his knee…..not gonna happen.
This shows how much you know about MMA and how styles make match ups. Gil would destroy everybody on that list aside from maybe BJ.
Gil is not seeing Bendo.
If Pettis can beat Bendo so can Gmel. I bet Gil finishes Bendo though.
steveb – agree to disagree. I just haven’t been impressed by Gil and don’t think the fighters he is beating are as high caliber as the ones I mentioned. Not saying he couldn’t win against them, but I wouldn’t be surprised if he lost to any of them.
Nate is really humble outside of the cage, at least when it comes to himself.
Rory McDonald will slap all these guys out easy.
Rory Macdonald please drop to lightweight and **** this lame ass fool up again! Toss’em around like a rag bitch doll, like the first time you handled his ass.
Melendez the best LW? That’s funny. There is at least 5 guys who would kick his ass in the UFC.
If Nate keeps sucking Gil off publicly like this saying he’s the best LW in the world and he has the belt to prove it he’s going to **** his chances up at getting a shot… do you really think the UFC brass really want their Champ saying the Champ of another organization is the best… I think not.
The Diaz brothers are very loyal; I will give them that. Maybe Nate figures they would never fight. IMO, this is the end of the line for Nate. I give him no chance against Edgar or Henderson.
Agreed.
What other organization? UFC owns strikeforce….
Duhh… Zuffa owns that organization (SF), and they also own the UFC but they are separate organizations. I guess you missed the point I was trying to make so I’ll explain it again… the UFC will NOT want their LW Champ saying the Strikeforce LW Champ is better then himself so IMO they’re less likely to give him a title shot… get it now.
Gil couldn’t barely beat masvidal and I think masvidal son that one
Gil barely beat masvidal and I think masvidal won that one!!!!!!!
all you ho’s talking for another fighter, calm your ass down.
I guess when you hate someone you’ll use an old loss just to diss a fighter! MacDonald will never make 155 with all those steroids, and just because he slammed Diaz 3 times doesn’t mean shit! Anyone 15lbs heavier(all muscle) can do that to anyone else so I don’t see the big deal! If you dOnt finish fights I don’t think you can even talk!
This guy wud get his ass kicked in the ufc
Y won’t ths video ****in work
