you can help but feel diaz in this fight never has there been an underdog that can truly defend himself and bring champions into deep water. This is just a great example of athletica.
@Hall 9000 if it was a street fight with no rules gsp would take Diaz down and land 12-6 elbows on his spine on the back of his head and the fight would be over within 5 minutes

@@immasavage341 it was a rumour at the time that was obviously bullshit, and now GSP is playing along by pretending it's real. He's obviously just joking, I'm really not sure how you don't get it...
This was hands down the best era of UFC, both of these guys were phenomenal fighters. Really it just came down to strategy and GSP being able to take Diaz down.
You could tell how respectful of a fighter he was! By the end of round 4 I think both had gained respect for each other. As rounds 4 end GSP walked away same at the end of 5. But the first 3 rounds they scuffled a lil after the bell. Great fight, and GSP is a great example of a humble fighter. Diaz is tough as nails, he stayed slugging away the entire fight.
@@immasavage341 I mean. I think all these athletes are. Most definitely are. And GSP even though not been proven, probably was on, like how so many unproven were probably on ped's as well
Didn’t take ass whooping he is weaker so will get thrown around but he has great ground defense so not much damage on feet pretty same different styles still gsp better fighter but saying Diaz got an ass whooping is just silly lol

I am a fan of both guys, but St-Pierre played it safe in his latter career. Not hatin,' but just saying that as a fan, I appreciate the guys who want to engage and go for finishes. GSP had SEVEN dec wins to run out his first retirement before submitting Bisping four years later; and he was never close to finishing Diaz in this one. On the flip side however, I'll be the first person to say that it's up to the opponent to figure out that puzzle if that is the game plan a guy wants to employ (holding people down when it's clear you're not getting a finish that way). The fact does remain that nobody was able to get St.-Pierre outa there since his last loss to Serra in Apr. '07, until his first retirement in 2013!
On the flip side, GSP never beat a champion via decision. Every single time his opponent held a title the fight finished. Unlike a lot of UFC champions GSP never asked the judges to give him a belt, he always took it. Furthermore you'll never find a GSP fight where he was not the more agressive fighter. Can't ask much more of a champion.
@@ManBat420 As I said, I am a fan of GSP but 7 decision wins to run out his first retirement. It's great that he won his belts decisively but how many fights was that; 3? He held his belt for the vast majority of his career so saying he won all his fights to win belts without the help of the judges that is awesome but does not encompass many fights. You can debate who was the aggressor in the Diaz fight as GSP did repeatedly get takedowns but that's where the problem came in because he was using the position to score and not to finish. I would say that is one thing that as a fan I would ask of a champion or any fighter for that matter, and that is to try and finish your opponent. GSP did not do that, I would argue in many of his latter fights but the Diaz fight for sure. However, I stand by this from my original comment: "On the flip side however, I'll be the first person to say that it's up to the opponent to figure out that puzzle if that is the game plan a guy wants to employ (holding people down when it's clear you're not getting a finish that way).

this was a great fight, would love to see it again... nick is so good at getting out of bad situations when someone is on top of him, gsp won this fight with his stiff jabs and being able to get some takedowns even if he didn't do much damage
When I watched this fight live I remember being surprised that GSP so thoroughly neutralized Nick Diaz in the grappling exchanges. I was aware that Diaz was highly decorated BJJ black belt under Cesar Gracie. But now, rewatching this fight all these years later, I noticed John Danaher and Firas Zahabi (now household names in the MMA community) in GSP's corner between rounds, it is no mystery why GSP was such a phenom on the ground, even against someone as well-versed in BJJ as Diaz.
Well yeah but that's because GSP was a stronger and better wrestler. It was not the first time Nick has struggled with wrestlers. It was actually his biggest weakness. He was a tall lanky dude with not a lot of muscle on him and his grappling background was of traditional BJJ so he always struggled against strong wrestlers like Diego Sanchez and Karo Parysian.
@@kadenkirklow1190 Usman is the best at mixing it up, I’d love to see Usman go up to middleweight and run it with Cannonier, Whittaker, gastelum, costa, etc. he’s a big welterweight, and I think he could even be a double champ if He’d fight Izzy

Im from northern California and I am a fan of the Diaz brothers, buts lets be honest..... They were blessed with cardio and granite chins. Skill wise they were slightly above average but not the beasts people paint them to be.
what a display of how dominant gsp is with his wrestlling skills its savage that hes taking nick on the ground, yet nick still show how good hes defence is respect both!! these are real champ !
Cant believe anoyone accused GSP of lay n pray. He was so active on the ground improving position and ground and pounding. Thats why guys couldnt get up, all they could do was defend.
George’s traditional take down method mixed with his superior ground control gave him the upper hand here. They were pretty evenly matched as far as stand up goes, but George knew how to get Nick out of his comfort zone. Great strategy.
Georges was the smartest fighter. You'll never see Nick get tired, or get outboxed. GSP jab is art. Unbelievable how lopsided he makes the greats look.
Nick was actually doing better as the fight went on, round 1 and 2 were all gsp but you start to see diaz make adjustments and correcting himself but gsp was a beast
I remembered GSP being more dominant than he was lol Nick had some pretty nice ground reversals but George was just relentless he never gives up on take down hes like Khabib that way.
mudeye It wasn’t that bad of a loss. Went the whole fight with GSP. GSP controlled the fight and took Nick down a lot but Nick was defending good on the ground. Stand up fight, Diaz would whoop GSPs ass any day, but GSP bring him went for takedowns. He controlled but was nowhere being Nick getting destroyed.

@@yeeyee2018 i got my boy Colby but im bias
Im from northern California and I am a fan of the Diaz brothers, buts lets be honest..... They were blessed with cardio and granite chins. Skill wise they were slightly above average but not the beasts people paint them to be.
One of my fav fights of all time would love to see them go at it one day.
what a display of how dominant gsp is with his wrestlling skills
its savage that hes taking nick on the ground, yet nick still show how good hes defence is
respect both!! these are real champ !
For me it was one of those fights where u love both the guys and don't want them to fight
Alternative title: GSP rag-dolls confused man for 25 minutes.
Gsp’s superman punch is a sight to behold
Gsp is soooo smooth. Damn. It's like I ve listened to some symphony u know
Lol what? Wdym
Cant believe anoyone accused GSP of lay n pray. He was so active on the ground improving position and ground and pounding.
Thats why guys couldnt get up, all they could do was defend.
George’s traditional take down method mixed with his superior ground control gave him the upper hand here. They were pretty evenly matched as far as stand up goes, but George knew how to get Nick out of his comfort zone. Great strategy.
That stand up was not even, Georges outclassed Nick in every aspect of the fight, on the feet, on the ground, in the clinch. He just had his number.
0:43 I had to look twice 😂
Dude acting all gangster against a Canadian going to war 😂
Nick's fighting ability never matched his heart for a fight. I love his attitude and am big fan. That is why I don't want to see him make a comeback
I love Diaz but he got dominated by gsp in this
No shame in that tho
Gsp dominated but Nick ground game defense was solid
A lot of people had the same result facing GSP.
Diaz’s issue is his style is suited for a round less fight or a 7 round fight. Oddly you can whop his ass yet somehow end up more hurt then him
@@nonyobussiness3440 it's a bad style for a five rounder then lol
I love watching the Diaz brothers getting rekt. They're such big shit talkers lol.
Here after everyones talking about GSP khabib 😁
GSP forever mma legend
The sportsmanship at the end speaks volumes about those guys
Nick was still salty. GSP doesn't hold onto grudges.
I remember some people saying they thought Nick won that fight, that's so ridiculous.
Georges was the smartest fighter. You'll never see Nick get tired, or get outboxed. GSP jab is art. Unbelievable how lopsided he makes the greats look.
God damn, GSP was in a league of his own. 🐐🐐
GSP and Diaz where my favorite fighters of that era of the UFC, of course Chuck Liddell, Anderson Silva and BJ Penn as well
Lol the diaz brothers just have one big logic, block all punches with ur face.
Right !!!!!
1:22 Damn GSPs corner was stacked... No wonder why he was so great
Diaz got dominated so much on the ground. It drained him so much he thought they poisoned his IV
GSP didn’t do much on the ground.
Nick was pissed after the first round from all the takedowns lol
Gsp most complete fighter not in ufc only but ever striking kickin ground and pound wrestling everything man
I remember kick boxer champ Jean-Yves Theriault, watch his old videos.
Diaz brothers think they always deserve more but truth is they are above what they normally deserve
Nick was actually doing better as the fight went on, round 1 and 2 were all gsp but you start to see diaz make adjustments and correcting himself but gsp was a beast
Some say that the Diaz brothers will beat anyone if you give them enough rounds.
Nick was completely outclassed here
Love this performance by the champ. The knee on the ground was especially brutal.
Got to admit these Diaz brothers are tough
I love this fight, it's one of the few that highlights high level bjj negating high level wrestling and vice versa
Lmao Nate
Telling the ref to fuck off at the end is hilarious
Such a character the Diaz
But man GSP is so clean and powerful
NOTICE that Nick isn't throwing up his hands in this fight!
GSP is a very technical fighter and broke nick's run and gun style
It’s that jab
Man Nick got man handled but fkk the guy had some scrambles when I dont think there was another fighter at the time to be able to out scramble GSP
Two of the all time greats!
Diaz was simply out classed? GSP ROCKS!!!!
gsp takes lots of steroids
@@hugohugo412 cope harder
@@shahood8116 huh
@Nick Waddle you mad lmao
Diaz got poisoned
What happens when a gifted athlete and talent meets a sheer warrior
Double legs and jabs?
Diaz sister had no business in that octagon with St Pierre🤣🤣🤣
Man, I love Nick, he's awesome!
He is flipping shit lmao
6:46 he shoved away the referee's hand knowing he had lost the fight 🤭
No one can beat gsp nothing but respect for lasting a whole fight with the best mma fighter of all time honestly
@@Vrtuned no one?? LOL
He only lost way out of his weight division against roid heads anyone with a brain knows gsp is the best mma fighter of all time
@@Vrtuned yes
@@Vrtuned Khabib?
Two Goats 🐐
4:22 Grounded Superman pound ????? GSP is the GOAT
Gsp is goat but lots of people do that type of strike too like khabib when he fought Connor, I'm sure he did that.
@Mal Theri I'm just pointing out how it's a bit more common than one might think.
@Mal Theri GSP and Jon Jones?? Oh yeah.....
Gsp in his prime,as a welterweight vs Khabib would be nice.george would Win ,i m sure
Lmao nah khabib would whoop GSP
@@VivaRonaldo19 nah, GSP would crush khabib
@@jayfomin not really I mean both are exceptional wrestlers but GSP is more versatile and a far superior striker easy UD for Georges
It's hard to bet against GSP.
Man, I love Khabib and a huge fan of him, but I see GSP winning the fight. The guy is an absolute unit.
Edited: Of course in GSP's prime.
Why does it sound like Bruce Buffer says " Worst welterweight champion, Nick Diaz!"?? 😂
Very fulfilling. The Diaz brother are shat stains.
GSP is just soo much stronger, gets to do anything he wants in this fight. Superior wrestling as well.
Such great respect between two of the game's Titans.
It ain’t about how hard you hit , it’s about how hard you can get hit and keep moving forward. - Rocky Balboa
If this was true, Nick would have been undefeated😂
@@uifsezivneed more rounds 😩
I remembered GSP being more dominant than he was lol Nick had some pretty nice ground reversals but George was just relentless he never gives up on take down hes like Khabib that way.
You mean, Khabib is like GSP in that way.
@@Tyrannosaurus_5000
You are right. GSP was one of Khabib's favorite MMA fighter.
Diaz is very respectful, after his fights. He puts asses in the seats tho. One of my favorites!!
One of the best fights ever. Every time diaz spoke something verbally during the fight, Gsp silenced him with a punch of his own...
Nick didn't reach his full potential in this fight. But again, he was facing GoatSP.
Nick was at His prime. He totally lost. Badly.
mudeye It wasn’t that bad of a loss. Went the whole fight with GSP. GSP controlled the fight and took Nick down a lot but Nick was defending good on the ground. Stand up fight, Diaz would whoop GSPs ass any day, but GSP bring him went for takedowns. He controlled but was nowhere being Nick getting destroyed.
Cory Balogh stfu he got destroyed.
@@corybalogh8448 Nick had nothing to offer
ReservoirFrogs It wasn’t a good fight for him but it’s funny because GSPs face was more fucked up than Nicks.
Great fight I'm glad I watched it live
GSP is like :;- keep talking mate I will keep you beating...Nate is no match to GSP in this fight
