yeah watch his interview on Sherdog. he says he wants to fight Tyson, cuz he used to train with them and up and left them for Randy's gym. i hope that fight happens one day. if Tyson loses to Tibau, i can see it happening.

Nate is awesome on the ground, but if there is a weakness that is there to be exploited-it's his stand-up game. When someone is able to stand with him and not get taken down, he'll get knocked out...and probably a highlight reel knockout. Think Kendall Grove.

Nate Diaz is great and will just keep getting better but at is it too much to ask to be able to piece together a complete sentence?

dude talk about a guy who has fallen...i know its off topic, but i felt really bad for Kendal after he got pummeled by Rivera. where does he go from here?

I think his skills are amazing, his hands are underrated, and his jits is some of the best in the LW division his transitions are so slick. A couple more wins and I want to see him against top ten guys to see exactly where his stands. His last two wins have been real impressive especially for being so young

i've always wanted to see nate vs. joe lauzon, but with joe facing ken-flo, thats not likely to happen anytime soon. if i recall, at ufc 79, manny made mention of wanting another fight w/ diaz. i say let em go at it and find out who the real ultimate fighter should have been and then go from there.

[J-diggler]

I have to say he puts on some of the most entertaining fights around even though they have been somewhat one sided. I'm on the edge of my seat waiting to see what hes goign to pull off next. I also pray for him to win just so I can hear his interview after, wonder what the ufc thought of his throwing out all those names of non UFC guys.
You think he smokes as much as his brother? Wonder how many times they've hit the bong moved the furniture away and went at in the living room.

xcept kendal grove has a weak chin and diaz doesnt so that doesnt really apply to him. if hes even 1/2 as tough as nick i doubt hes gonna get ko'd. hes a diaz man. plus kendall grove has been kod more then a few times.

I would bet that he has a tough chin. I don't think his stand up is weak. Its not as strong as his BJJ, but its not weak. He fights just like Nick. They like to get in there and bang it out until it goes to the ground where they are top notch in BJJ. Just because they don't mind taking some shots, doesn't mean their standup is weak. I think his only weakness would be power. I can't see him having knockout power, but not everyone needs it. In my opinion the outcome of the Ultimate Fighter would have been the same whether Manny's injury happened or not. Now Nate just knows to go for a shoulder lock on that side.
