Tough loss for Nick, but it’s always a treat to watch him compete. Loved the respect between him and Lawler at the end.
@NobodyHarder lol exactly
@iPushFatKidzzz This is how you talk, “fr fr, bro bro, casual bro, CAAAASSSSIUUUUAAAAALLLLL BBBRRRROOOO”.
You’re a clown.
Nick basically tapped to strikes. Laying on his back and quitting wasn’t a good look.
This was just for a paycheck fuck the ufc for wasting this guys prime. Meanwhile Jon Jones can do coke and steroids and the ufc loves him. Nick gets banned for weed now hes just a shell of what he was.
Compete?? Idk about that
That fight was so much fun to watch but sad to see Nick not look the same. Seemed like his kicks were in slow-mo and his punches were slow as well with no zip on them. Good fight though
He’s always kinda punched slow, just very accurate and throws in high volume
@M Williams I feels bro. They were sitting at 185 I feel he could drop all that fat hanging around for welter but in his case I’d probably finish a contract of 3 and be done like u said
@M Williams one person I haven’t seen in awhile is cowboy 😓
@jerry larry right I’m sure there’s absolutely no possible way they’ve gotten slower
That’s what happens when your off for years and age creeps up on you at the same time.
The old Nick would have fought through that nose and faucet injury.
That said, we are all very lucky to have seen him in the past and last night.
One of the best to do it and a tough SOB.
On top of that a nice guy that was and will always be role model material.
Wishing him the best always.
As for Robbie, he is still one very scary guy in that cage👍👍👍👍👍
Whatever Nick does in the future, I really do wish him the best 🙏 Feels like he’s battling with a lot behind-the-scenes, there is a lot of weight on his shoulders, you can tell.
Yea the fight was supposed to be at 170 but moved to 185 last minute.
Damn judging how you judge men on 3 or 4 interviews shows the type of person you are
@nick barcenas Aha that’s why, see I sat here wondering why and I couldn’t… figure it out but then you came about and erased all confusion. Thanks sincerely!
@CWR yeah… ☹
@nick barcenas he always speaks that way those two love recreational drugs ……
Nick Diaz was my first hero ever in the ufc when I discovered this sport in 2009.. At the time I was a minority being a Diaz fan, this was the GSP era and people didn’t understand the Diaz brothers just yet. I also have a little brother myself and have literally been brought to tears when I watch nick and Nate talk about each other and the affection they have for each other. I truly believe Nick would have been regarded as a GOAT if he didn’t catch that BS suspension. In his prime he was fearless, took every fight, wanted the best, and was never finished. Every loss on his record was a decision loss. Which is crazy because him and Nate both choose to stand and bang, when in reality they both have the ability to finish any one on the ground. But they want to really fight, they want to put on a show and represent the sport as true fighters not just tap out artists. It pained me to see nick tonight. He wasn’t the same. He once said “I have to find a way to hate my opponent in order to get in the mind set to go to war”… and unfortunately that nick Diaz is long gone. He will always be a legend, and he’s done volumes for the sport and should be a hall of famer for his influence alone. But he’s no longer the gangster from 209 flipping off the crowd. He’s done his part and left his mark. And everyone knows it but him. His work is done. We love you Nick. Thank you for being the first real badass of the sport that wasn’t presenting or putting on an act to sell pay per views. You were just you. Before Conor or Masvidal. There was Nick Diaz. The real ORIGINAL GANGSTER. Nick Diaz Army forever!!!!
@AK- JXRDY-7 In the early days he was the greatest who ever done it! Sad to see that they took everything from him.
@AK- JXRDY-7 legends? They are punching bags lol. Just mediocre. Thats it. Likeable guys, sometimes, but they are legendary for bleeding everywhere and thats about it. Dude didnt even train for this fight. Has no respect for mma.
@Been Cloned what? He was never the goat. Never. Not once. Lmfao
I love this!! Well said!
@RiverNinja20 wrong
Nick is a Legend. I’m grateful to him for jumping back in the cage to put on a show for all of us fans, win or lose. He’ll be remembered as one of the greatest fighters to step in the octagon.
@Dogmators sad life. Grow up tool
Yeah he should go make C grade action movies with gsp,chuck Liddell and Couture 😄
i wouldnt say greatest but most entertaining
He’s one of the best ever!💯
@ProChokePoint get off his nuts fanboy
i love this guy. nick is a legend. makes me tear up hearing his voice get shaky when he was saying he didn’t wanna make a mess. thanks for inspiring me nick. we love you.
Nick honestly needed this loss in my eyes to show him that we all love him still win or lose and hopefully his issues get fixed man. He’s always been one of greatest in my eyes.
Amen
The man gave everything to this sport. As sad as I was to see him take a knee, I was even more impressed by it. He put on a great show case of his skills, but those shots he was starting to take were ruthless. Like I said, he gave everything to this sport, there was no need for him to give more than he was physically capable of, just for our entertainment…not this time. Well done nick diaz 🙏🙌👏
Felt more like an exhibition fight but Diaz still had a good performance after such a long lay off. Robbie Lawler is a former UFC champ and still top 15 caliber after all
Nick looked terrible what are you talking about clearly gassed himself early and everything he threw was just lazy and sloppy looking
He came to put on a hell of a fight but his attacks were slow and his movement appeared sluggish. Nate seems to be in better condition for his fights. Nick just doesn’t have that drive that he used to have. Which I don’t blame him.
He doesnt got that fire anymore
