He doesn't seem the type of guy who cares about all that, what impresses me the most about him is how he can be stoned most of the time and still kick ass
I had the honor of meeting this man. He is an absolute living legend. Gladiator for all ages.. there is no quit in this man and his cardio is simply off the charts..
Nice to see this fight in it's entirety and not just the finish. 23 year old Nick was cold, calculating and tough as nails. Looks like he knew Gomi didnt have the power to finish him, weathered the storm and waited til he made a mistake. And man what a finish too
Gino had the power to finish him. He knocked him down bad. Diaz just did a great job of rolling with the punches for the most part, except for a couple of punches
The career of Nick Diaz is amazing .. and should be more. This punishment, completely exaggerated for the consumption of marijuana (and of course, it was not for the purpose of doping for the fight. Who would use this product for that?), prevented him from going further. It's disgusting.
It acts as a muscle relaxer and allows for a faster muscle recovery during hard training. Many pro MMA fighters have spoken openly why they use Marijuana during training. Did you k own that are brains are wired with canabinoid receptors?
Part of what makes this fight in PRIDE so amazing is Diaz winning by gogoplata. In the 30+ years of the UFC there's never been a submission victory by gogoplata. 🤯 Nick Diaz was incredible, one of a kind.
It could also be because there were many other things you could do to an opponent on the ground than in the ufc with less rules that makes subs and groundgame increasingly difficult
@@piotrd7355 That’s a line that people like to repeat but we saw what happened to most PRIDE fighters when they stopped fighting japanese pro wrestlers
@@pearcemark2 What happened to Antônio Rodrigo Nogueira, Fabrício Werdum, Maurício Rua, Rampage, Alistair Overeem, Mark Hunt and Dan Henderson? When Anderson Silva stopped losing to Japanese wrestlers he dominated the UFC.
The Gomi bias is fucking unreal. He is completely gassed and out of shape and the commentators are trying to make every excuse for him. If he's in shape he crushes Diaz in this fight. Fatigue makes cowards of us all.
There is definitely a bias for Gomi here but I wouldn’t say he was just gassed from being out of shape. He was throwing ridiculous bombs there and it took all his energy. I think Nick said that Gomi hit him harder than anyone he has ever fought.
At the start of round you can see gomi raise his arms like come on. Then you see a close up of Nick saying let’s go bitch so cool man just a solid dude
Top 5 favorite PrideFC fights easy Diaz had a slugfest and a super rare submission while he was high af, He's easily one of the best diaz brothers of all time.
Beautiful transition and being that agile and flexible to secure the Darce is Impressive although that cut prob should a stoppage kudos to Diaz might not be the best but the fk. Kids got a massive heart
They can say oh gomi didn’t train but how many fighters did Nick make look like they didn’t train he would make fights unbreatheable and fighters would suffocate give Nick his props should’ve be the greatest 160 pound champ ever
Boy, at 10:08 you can see Nick take one more moment to really squeeze the hell out of Takanori...no love lost I suppose. I just love how the Diaz brothers weaponize the gas tank and the economy boxing...shrewdly conserving fuel while constantly punishing.
Cracks me up how people keep saying he was stoned during the fight. Esp. when you consider a regular pot smoker wont be 20% as high as another person with the same levels that rarely does it. And dude this waa one of the biggest fights of his career, in the best organization in the world. Dude was no longer high the first time he got it
This fight was so epic. I was a huge fan back then. The good ol' Sherdog days. Gomi was a fucking KILLER. But Diaz was a tough bastard and moving down in weight. He also only struggled against grapplers leading up to that point, and everyone knew Gomi was going to strike with him. The size thing was super intriguing. But the consensus was that Diaz would be drained and Gomi would KO him. Almost happened, too!! But then zombie Diaz took over and ended up winning. I marked out so hard. I was a huge Diaz fan. Still prefer Nick over Nate.
Jiu Jitsu is good defense,round one, and then good offense for the tap round 2. His right lead is schooled. Gomi is too short,the reach advantage was just too much as far as any slight power edge.Should be reversed to a win now that pot is legal.
Nick Diaz never gets his respect enough from the casual side of mma. True icon
At one time it was common knowledge he was better than Nate. Nate used to say it all the time. But time and new fans forgot that.
He doesn't seem the type of guy who cares about all that, what impresses me the most about him is how he can be stoned most of the time and still kick ass
He's definitely the better fighter of the Diaz brothers. Would've been cool to see them both active at the same time.
@@gh0rochi363new forget it cause they don’t know
dude has zero power
The fact that he submitted a Japanese fighter with a Japanese submission while stoned off his ass will always be funny to me 😂
Jujitsu originated in Japan so it's all Japanese trully

Jealous of you bro. I live on the east coast and I just wanna shake Nick's hand and tell him thank you

Diaz Brothers are the best
Always fun to watch.
No doubt
👍💯💪🏻
It’s a shame that they’re such sore losers
4 years for weed is despicable .
It was reduced to one year casual and it was organically 5 years
Especially if you think about how there is basically zero punishment for taking steroids wich puts your opponents in actual danger.
dumbass it was 5 years and it got reduced to like 9 months lmao dis tiktok casual
Why does it say 6 months in the description ???
@@kenmurphy6792 not the same case
what the guy above was talking is the suspension from 2015
Nick Diaz will always be a savage.. What a finish.
13:42 “I didn’t even realize I went down” bro was spaced tf out during that fight😂
He was high as a kite going into it.
@@Guardsman-sy8qm lol ok yeah bud, it was the weed, not the barrage of punches and knees to the dome.
@@WhiteAndBased the shots are what did it. maybe weed helped lol but i've forgotten whole days after being sparked.

Absolutely had he power to knock him out, he just gassed himself. He didn't have the stamina.
@@judahsoremy9857 Correction he didn't have the stamina to provide the power to knock him out..... that better?
Don’t think Gomi expected the grappling to be as exhausting as it ended up being early in round one
Gomi was drinking smoking and barely training at this time. His talent carried him for a long time and eventually it all caught up with him.
I watched this live and go back to watch it every year since . One of he best fights I’ve ever seen
7:50 Nick said " come on bit*h".
People don’t understand how unstoppable Gomi was at this time. This was a crazy upset at the time. Prime Nick was something truly special.
Unbelievable how he got that leg under dudes chin?!? Great job Nick!!
Youll always be one of my number 1 all time idols! Keep that spirit alive!!
Gogoplata
One of the best mma fights ever.
I love this announcers voice and style
Sameeee
The right hand from Gomi at 8:22 obliterates Diaz’s orbital bone.
What a wind up on that punch man would've killed me and most people lol
good catch. that was brutal.
Then at 10 minutes Nick embarrasses him 😢
I remember watching this growing up as a kid. Great memories
Lol that boy said " gomi looken like a wet rag out there"
Incredible fight. Nate Diaz was an amazing fighter. Gomi was a warrior as well and their fight was fireworks.
Nate?
Nick and Nate are the best by far
Gas tanks playing the roles in this matchup. Cardio machine diaz took this one convincingly
The best upload of this fight so far.
Damn, never seen that lock before. Nick is like super bendy.
Classic fight. Gomi was awesome
that interviewer is gacked out lol
This is my favorite fight. There's a lot of good one's but every time I watch this I feel like going for a run.👍
Same here! Never gets old! 👊🏻

Good ref. He keeps things moving.
Absolutely incredible!!
What a fkn Legend!!
Max respect, Nick Diaz....👊💥💥💥
The commentators had no idea, and I didn’t ! … I remember thinking gomi was gonna handle him … I watched more pride than ufc back then
Gomi sure did a # on Nick’s face Jesus!
五味の当て感もすごくてニックディアスが効いて惜しかったシーンもあったけど、ニックディアスは効いた時のエスケープが上手い。回復力が高いからあっという間にリカバリーするのは脅威だな
また相変わらずサウスポーの超リーチから来る変則的な打撃は本当にやりずらそう。
一発の威力は無くても防御が上手くいかないから精神的にも焦るし、何よりあれだけ当てられたら効くわ
そして打たれ疲れを引き起こす
変則打撃でペース取ってから、堅実な寝技できっちり一本を取る試合作りは見事というほかない
Part of what makes this fight in PRIDE so amazing is Diaz winning by gogoplata. In the 30+ years of the UFC there's never been a submission victory by gogoplata. 🤯

Could it be that the UFC had a higher caliber of fighters?

Love it nothing feels better than choking someone out

I agree 👍
Nate is new and fresh it's standard and they are foreigners speaking... I mean he if fighting a foreigner 😂 Diaz gave him Hispanic smack down.

@@simle6010 He is absolutely out of shape in this fight
@@EvictionNotice51 diaz is high on drugs
The fact that he beat one of the best pride fighters in history while High AF is insane this dude is a legend
A gogoplata while high af 😅
He wasn't high
He smoked the day before the fight
It's astounding that the announcers are saying Diaz should kick...WHILE HE IS DESTROYING GOMI
I love that cat pawing boxing style of Nick's. It's like touch, touch, touch...CRACK!!! It's definitely unique and effective.
He gave an extra squeeze after the ref says stop. Wasn’t necessary.
THE BEST Nick Diaz finish of all time HANDS DOWN!!
Best fight in mma history
Agreed!
Nah. Gomi showed up in disrespectful condition and gassed way too early.
@@jotunblod yeah you might be right
Back In the day when fighters fought anywhere.
😍😃😍 this Fight was absolutely epic
The best fight interview of all times😂😂😂😂
Face destroyed, legs loose, nap before tap. This is a fight.
He shoulda got a bonus for operating under that much weed.
At the start of round you can see gomi raise his arms like come on. Then you see a close up of Nick saying let’s go bitch so cool man just a solid dude
When the guy interviewing Nick said to thank Pride I thought Nick was about to give him the stockton slap! 👍
Gomi just gave up defending himself? lol
Imagine if the diaz brothers had more power in their punches
Sloberknocker……lol
Goddamn, this dude's cardio was crazy.
I think Gomi had one to many the night before this fight...

@@heli0s2003 that nate is pretty cool too.
Diaz brothers are volume punchers with 50% power nonstop they don't give their opponents time to breath..gomi was out of breath
14:20 no ego. No gloating. Humble in victory. Class act.
Gomi gassing so hard so early legit made me belly laugh😂
Beautiful transition and being that agile and flexible to secure the Darce is Impressive although that cut prob should a stoppage kudos to Diaz might not be the best but the fk. Kids got a massive heart
Gogo Plata not a darce
Dude you will get high watching this fight cause Nick is so high
Nick holding on a little extra, payback for the cut.

Nick couldve done this to any version of gomi
He was just incredibly underrated at thjs time.
Not sure why his boxing was being slept on
ND is a beast! GOAT!!!!

Fuckin Diaz brothers, don't ever count them out, boys can fight and never makes it easy for anyone 😊
Мастерски!

Legendary
Would of loved to see a prime Nick Diaz vs khabib, he would cut his airflow and put that boy out

The ref literally said,”No punching, no kicking.Clear? Fight”😅
No kicking and stomping on a lying opponent. What was allowed by Pride in Japan, this fight took place in the US.
