Just imagine beating the shit out of someone for like 7 minutes, blood dripping down their face and they're still coming at you like the fight hasn't started. Diaz got the body of a triathlete and the head of a fucking cinderblock.
One of the biggest wins in UFC history. When people talk about iconic moment. After he taps Conor, his face bloody and camera catches him make that face. Moment is immortalized.
Me too, I was laid up with a crook back leading up to it and watched every bit of commentary I could find and was convinced by the experts Nate had almost no chance, Conor was undefeated and appeared to be unstoppable and so confident I believed him. I was so stoked when Nate pulled off the seemingly impossible.
Bro, Nate combinations are just INSANE. But, what's even crazier is the fact that THAT ain't his best skill, I mean, his constant pressure just drains the gas tank of his opponents, making them do stupid things like going for a takedown having no wrestling background. Amazing.
I think people forget how amazing this shit was to watch live and see all the hype and the interviews and chats. Almost brings a tear to my eye. As an american the diaz brothers were some bad ass dudes. And then an an irish austrian guy connor was just entertaining as hell. The fans of mma yearn for shit like this again. Sure there's great fighters now but there has not been this hype of a fight or rivarly for at least three years. Mma is sadly past its prime era :l hopefully soon some new guys will be that alluring.
This is the first event I went to in person. Absolutely electric. Most of the crowd was stunned when Nate stole the momentum and took control. I thought it would go the distance, with Connor winning 4 rounds, and Nate putting up a respectable effort. I was a fool. I didn’t think Nate was good enough, but he proved how valuable durability and endurance are.
He was supposed to fight RDA for the lightweight title: Rafael got injured so they found a replacement in Nate Diaz. Maybe he bit more than he could chew, but that's why he was a great fighter: great fighters don't play safe and take chances.
Yo the music definitely intensifies the fight. It's unbelievable how perfect Nates combos/sequences was after that initially R jab Lstraight. That the way he mounted Conor, then got McGregors back. The single punch before slapping the choke on. It was like (and still is) watching a MASTER at work.
I liked the Conor quote after the fight where he said he was surprised how many shots a man in this bigger weight class could take. Most of the shots he hit Nate with would've KO'ed the featherweights
I remember watching this fight at my homies pad when I was at rock bottom shit reminded me of what my coach taught me best to never stop fighting or give up all you need is that one shot that can change your life, I prayed everyday that God would give me one last chance to get back up in exchange I would pay him back and push my limits and give back I always had the tools to make in happen and the best mentor on the planet I just needed the opportunity to stand tall and the rest would be history we all make mistakes and deserve a second chance
I remember calling this one ahead of time before ot happened.... Conor gonna crack him like "whyd he not go down"? Crack him some more... Nate start hittin back... Connor crack him more like "wtf" n get overwhelmed cause he never fought anyone who could take his shots clean.....
Conors lack of cardio and recovery beat him, along with nates exceptional cardio and recovery. Conors gameplan was to go in there and get nate out in 1 or 2 but nates chin and conors lungs had another idea 😂😂 The 2nd fight conor won but even in that his cardio was letting him down in the later rounds. I would love to have seen a conor mcgregor with great cardio. He would have been a beast.
Not sure if you guys noticed, but when Connor gave he’s back to Diaz and Diaz started grabbing him from the neck… diaz gave one last punch to push Connor’s head into he’s head lock. Diaz is an intelligent fighter!
Meet both brothers in San Diego in 2020 . We were at a cheap taco stand. Initially, I had no clue who they were until their manager randomly started chatting with me while I was ordering. To make a long story short, I glance over a see these two guys, who look oddly similar, just shadow boxing. He’s like they are fighters. They do MMA. People were just randomly blowing their horns and walking up asking for pics. Nick grabbed my phone and went to his instagram(which he doesn’t even manage). We took a picture .Then we departed. *REAL HUMBLE GUYS*

Nate taking those hits and bloody faced keeps coming at you is very very intimidating
This fight gives me chills. I'll never understand how Nate didn't get a title shot when everyone he faced got chances.
He got a title shot against Benson Henderson. Besides that, Nate never had an long winning streak
Politics
He should've fought khabib
For real!?
This was way before he beat mcgregor...@@mhmmd731
Nate was literally slapping Conner around at points 😂
That’s literally just what he does lmao. Doesn’t make sense but he makes his mark by taking a beating and enduring longer and deeper into fights
@@KingInTraining Probably fucks you up psychologically to take punches and occasional slaps to the face.
Nate might of never been a UFC champion, But he’s always been the peoples Champion..
they took away wins from him just like from Nick before
Spot on!🇺🇸🏁🏴☠️
Facts one of my favorites idgaf what any one says love the diaz brothers reminds me of my two sons maybe they might be the up and coming ufc talents
@@TamasPanyiwhat wins did they take away from him ?

Well Nate bleeds very easily so I wouldn’t say he was getting his ass kicked. Nate’s notorious for bleeding a lot every time he gets hit
I can't wait to see these guys when they're like 70 n can't talk lol
lol nate def wasnt getting beat up conor was.
@@barneyblack7944Nate already can’t talk what you mean😂😂
Nate's body is soft
Nate is the effing terminator… he not only keeps coming, but he gets stronger… very frightening how bullet proof that guy is
He's a modern day Rocky
Nate’s like one of those bosses in a video game that get stronger and more dangerous the lower their health gets
Its them Mexican Genes/descent baby 👊🇲🇽 Mexican style keep moving , dont stop 👊
Love me some Nate, he keeps it real ALWAYS!
Bro Nate lost in the second fight. Not to mention he has 22 wins and 13 loses… he’s not impressive.
One of the biggest wins in UFC history. When people talk about iconic moment. After he taps Conor, his face bloody and camera catches him make that face. Moment is immortalized.
Gaaaayyyyy
@@spazzymacgee5648😂😂😂
Nate Diaz ground work in this fight was GODLY. Straight elite level work a masterpiece to see
Yeah Diaz is really good at finishing. He understands the scramble really well.
I’ll never forget the post fight interview
Nate saying “you’re a wrestler now” 🤣🤣 he cut through him like a stick of Kerry Gold
he moved like he knew he could
sometimes it’s not about how hard you can hit in life… but more how hard you can get hit and still move forward
That dont make a fucking nickles worth of cents
How original
That fits perfectly with this fight..
@@nittygritty7503 yes it does. Just the that this idiot wrote it doesnt make sense

My favorite fight moment and "sports" moment of all time. The buildup to this fight and the fight itself was amazing. 2 great warriors!

What a beautiful day that was.
Nate is so underrated he is a real warrior! And a force to be recognized!!
Why don't he ever get a title shot man
I'm not the biggest MMA fan but I will always remember the shot of Nate Diaz bloody face and raising his fists forever. It's an iconic image.
Bro, Nate combinations are just INSANE. But, what's even crazier is the fact that THAT ain't his best skill, I mean, his constant pressure just drains the gas tank of his opponents, making them do stupid things like going for a takedown having no wrestling background. Amazing.
genuinely think the takedown attempt was just conor throwing in the towel
Just like his brother!!
@@james9076no wonder khabib mauled him. I always knew khabib was going maul him before their first match.
@@evangreenberg1666 te be fair khabib was going to maul everyone.
is this not 1 of the best fights ever?
It is
This one is for the mens Nate n Connor always has the best fights and for the womens I would say its Joanna vs Zhang what a fight!
Definitely an amazing comeback
Biggest is khabib vs connor
The best.
Mc gregors body language is so alpha while nate is standing there like a farmer
You really don't want to be slapped by a farmer
But in the end the true alpha is last man standing
@@roslanjala9055 a farmer would survive longer than an “alpha” especially one that plays touch butt
@@california650 oh now I see thank you for a clarification..I am bad at English
But who tf won. That alpha shit don’t mean you tuff. Beat up plenty of “alphas” as a nerd nigga
Whos here in 2024?
You know it champ
Me
I am this was such an amazing fight to watch
All day
Douche
One of the greatest fights in ufc history
This can’t be a complete highlight clip without Nate’s interview in the octagon afterwards.
02:21 really fast left of Nate!!!
Most satisfying UFC fight ever

I LOVE watching this every day.
I'll stop watching when it stops making me smile.
So never stop.
Nate is badass. Dude just keeps going even if he's hurt. Him and his brother Nick are undoubtedly MMA legends. Trash talk king too if you ask me😂

I thought it would go the distance, with Connor winning 4 rounds, and Nate putting up a respectable effort. I was a fool.

IMO, this is the GOAT fight. I’ll feel lucky if I ever see something like this again in MMA.
Max has entered the chat
Nate was the type to never capitalize as the favorite, but would always show up when he was the big underdog.
Conor had no business jumping up two weight classes. Ambitious but risky. His ego definitely took a beating after this.
He was supposed to fight RDA for the lightweight title: Rafael got injured so they found a replacement in Nate Diaz. Maybe he bit more than he could chew, but that's why he was a great fighter: great fighters don't play safe and take chances.
@@AMLM117 Emphasis on "was"
I love the Diaz brothers. My favs!
Nate really just turned on the jets out of nowhere
One of the most satisfying wins ever
Been watching mma since 2001 and as a kid from nor cal this is my all time favorite finish in the sport.
One of the best fights I have ever seen!
Nate is himself always. Conor is a performer. For good or bad. Nate changed Conor that day. He never was the same
100% true
He went on to become a double champ after the fight and redeem this but okay
@@perez2976 and then he lost them. He’s a great fighter. Nate just humbled Conor
No one had ever changed Conor like Khabib did, Khabib took a big piece of him and left it in that arena that dag
@@mfbobyle6771 so the fuck what? He still destroyed Alvarez and took his belt from him almost a year later…. After beating Nate in fight 2……..
I watch this fight every few months it was amazing

Nate is my favorite fighter of all time.
My favorite fighter too he can take hits and turn the fight around while he bleeding like a mfr
Gsp would smack Nate like how he smacked nick
@@0gloomy0 greased safe player
@@0gloomy0who in the hell is talking about gsp. You better get off that shit.
I like how Nate was slapping Conner at the end of the 1st rnd!!
This gives me hope. So inspirational
I liked the Conor quote after the fight where he said he was surprised how many shots a man in this bigger weight class could take. Most of the shots he hit Nate with would've KO'ed the featherweights
Well it's really not Conor 's fighting weight
Loved this fight! Conner can always go back to slapping 75 year old men sitting at a bar.
If you’re having a bad day and feel like the underdog, just watch this fight. 😂
I remember watching this fight at my homies pad when I was at rock bottom shit reminded me of what my coach taught me best to never stop fighting or give up all you need is that one shot that can change your life, I prayed everyday that God would give me one last chance to get back up in exchange I would pay him back and push my limits and give back I always had the tools to make in happen and the best mentor on the planet I just needed the opportunity to stand tall and the rest would be history we all make mistakes and deserve a second chance
Was it given to you?
Nate es una leyenda, este tipo de luchadores no les interesa el cinturón, solo pelear por pasión al deporte
Crazy nate always opens up
This is why UFC-MMA is so amazing. Anyone can win and anyone can lose in the matter of a few short seconds.
The adrenaline fuel levels probably were insane!
I remember calling this one ahead of time before ot happened....
Conor gonna crack him like "whyd he not go down"?
Crack him some more... Nate start hittin back... Connor crack him more like "wtf" n get overwhelmed cause he never fought anyone who could take his shots clean.....
One of my most favorite fighters. Relentless
I was so happy the night it aired! I prayed for my boy Nate & be woopt thadazz!!! Yessir! I had to come check it out tonight
The way Nate smacked his hand out of defense is wild 😂
Arguably one of the greatest fight in UFC history
Unreal performance. Diaz just eats those blows one after another until Connor’s tired and then he puts on a show.
Met both Nick and Nate…stand up dudes. Period.
Nate. The Great. I was with my son at B-Dubs watching. The whole place was for Conner. Except us😂😂❤
Never gets old watching Nate humble that little bastard! 😂😂😂
Nates the man man. Lets be real every old school ufc watcher knew the compton king was coming out on top
Stockton king
@@victorgee3189 thank you lmao we know he's a casual now
What I love about the fight is that McGregor was looking good and you can pinpoint the exact moment he made a mistake that swing the battle
Gotta love Joe Rogan “CONNOR’S IN SERIOUS TROUBLE” 😂🤣😂🤣
nate diaz is that drunk uncle you dont wanna fight 😂😂
Conors lack of cardio and recovery beat him, along with nates exceptional cardio and recovery. Conors gameplan was to go in there and get nate out in 1 or 2 but nates chin and conors lungs had another idea 😂😂

Great fight and showcased the durability of Nate
I wished Nate utilised elbows, he would have been sending more guys to the shadow realm
The way Diaz punches him into the choke is golden.
naaateee diaaaazzz
Not sure if you guys noticed, but when Connor gave he’s back to Diaz and Diaz started grabbing him from the neck… diaz gave one last punch to push Connor’s head into he’s head lock. Diaz is an intelligent fighter!
This fight gets better every time😂😂😂.
That was like rocky …when he just decides he’s not going down anymore lmao 🤣
What’s a “god” to a nonbeliever…
Such a great fight ✊
that cameraman really fumbled the bag with that missed closeshot of nate s celebration
Been watching Nate his whole career , just realized when buffer hesitated. Nate has no nickname ...
That NORTHERN CALIFORNIA SHYYYYYYYYYT BOiiiiiiiii
Shout out to Stockton from the Mission San Fran

When the sound should have gone up it went down… great.

Nate Diaz is the Poster Child for Stockton. Tough dude from a tough town!
Отлично Нейт!!! 🖐💪💯
I never get tired of seeing Conor getting choked out.
Year?

I love how Nate punched Conor’s face into a RNC 😂😂😂
