For some reason, watching a fight in this setting makes you appreciate the skills these guys have. Watching fights in the same old octagon card after card makes you lose sight of the fact that 98% of these dudes are truly bad mothafuck*rs
Tyler Todd Exactly right. In the Octagon it's dark, you've got crowds cheering and if you're watching it on TV, commentary. In effect it's like watching a movie so you don't feel a connection with it. This fight seems much more real because it's in a setting that you know and can visualize yourself being in. In UFC and the like, the camera generally focuses on the fighters within an overall shot of the Octagon - you don't really see anything else. The camera shot here is of a gym with 2 guys fighting in it. You have real visible objects and people in the background all the time so you get an idea of how fast they are really moving - as opposed to the Octagon where you see how fast the fighters are moving relative to each other.
@@hardcoreherbivore4730 … In my case I eat really well, been grappling for 25-30 years off and on.. My problem is I was born with a congenital heart defect so while I do fine, I can never have the cardio like someone with a totally healthy heart … Just the cards I was dealt.. Had 2 major heart surgeries to correct a Coarctation of the Aorta…
You can tell his opponent mocking him at 3:27 pissed Nick off. His intentions changed and he started fighting seriously and throwing his punches like he meant it after that.
Robert King both Nick & Nate are savages. When that first smack echoed....😬 Can’t get that sound with the 4oz’ers. Wish there was better footage. Felt like I was watching it on a Gameboy.
ehh diaz was taunting first, he threw 3 karate kicks in sequence, no one does that, not seriously anyway, that's why dude took the crane stance lol you don't let someone fuck with you without doin it back.
momentum my comment was in response to Johnathan Waids post, no one needs your fat ass coming outta nowhere trying to talk shit online, take that shit somewhere else.
True ,I would wear wraps in "bare knuckle " fight just for that reason . 4oz gloves do nothing to lower the force of a strike and dif 12 oz gloves make is still small percentages . It just made it look more civilized when trying to make UFC legitimate back in the early days to make one design of glove the regulation.Out went groin strikes and hair pulling too .......spoil sports lol
Actually they make you hit way harder. You can break knuckles in a real fight. Much more hardcore. Fuck around and break your hand. Those Little gloves and handwraps actually reinforce your wrist and allow you to punch without impunity. They are badass
Grant Edmondson yes thats what im saying bro. They are designed for protecting the hand. Not the skull. But these pussys that like to protest against the fight game think it protects the opposite way around
Grant Edmondson i fought competitive fighting for many years. Martial arts mainly. Boxed for the military for a while as well. Used to feel like i could punch through a brick wall when my hand was wrapped. Its an amaze feeling having your fists and wrists feel so tight
I’m never amazed by Nick Diaz. He has always been the hardest working guy in MMA, so I’m usually amazed by the guys that can last any significant time with him. This video is a testament to his skill and anybody that’s followed Nick’s career will tell you the same (the guy’s a work beast!). I just think it’s a shame how Dana White always shorted Nick, and his brother Nate for that matter, on purses because they wouldn’t cater to Dana’s ego. Anyhow, I thoroughly enjoyed this video…thnx for posting it
@@kesun32145yeah, worked hard at being a crotch sniffing lame ass champ. Had to lay on top of Nick the whole fight never putting him in real danger just to avoid standing with him like a real man. COWARD
As rare and as fun as this video is: This is not a bare knuckle fight. They might not wear gloves, but this is an mma fight without gloves. Bare knuckle has different rules
Nick been fighting since he was like 13. And seriously at 16. Same with Nate. Its no wonder these guys are almost impossible to submit. And both compete in triathlons. Thats why they can wear down opponents with pure energy.
Sean Cash together they are 43 - 20.... Where are yours and your brothers 43 wins? With a World championship belt, ultimate fighter championship, and both are in the top 5 total strikes landed in the UFC. You're just a hater, and a nobody.. haha.
steelstan39 ummm the difference is im not over here bashing people that accomplished things in their life... Which I myself accomplished one if my biggest life goals already.. When I Jumped out on airplanes, became a paratrooper in the 82nd Airborne, and went to war, and survived. dumbass.
Nowaahhh!! Accomplished? Do you have any idea how many men could do what you did? I could, easily, and so could half the rest of the male population. Ask yourself one question: How much money is in your bank account? If it isn't bare minimum 7 figures you're just another nothing nobody.
steelstan39 first off, only like .001 percent of the population of the united states does what I did... 2. The fact that you value life off of money is fucking pathetic... lmao.. You're a fucking zombie.
This is bare knuckle! Nick throws the Stockton slap more than he does close handed blows, it prevents breaking knuckles, he threw some bombs in the second round! He was going for a finish one way or another.
+Sm0k4bl3 Did you watch him fight last time when he fought Silva? before the fight he was very respectful. wish he would come back full force and beat the dog shit out of some of these guys
shair00 Yeah I've seen that fight, he was very respectful indeed. I think everyone has alot of respect for Silva after what happened, and he still managed to come back.
This is why Nick Diaz is so popular. 2.5 million people are willing to watch a low quality bare knuckle fight from 20 years ago because they want to see him.. crazy
Nick should come back and fight at 185. I think he needs a bit more power and that's it. it would help him a lot with takedown defence too, I think he would struggle vs elite wrestler's but lets face it, he made Anderson silva run away from him for 5 rounds while the guy was on roids and also who can fight at light heavyweight, a bigger guy already, so I think if he beefed up just a little bit more to give him a little more power, he could be a lot more effective. be good if welterweights actually fought with him though when they step in the cage with him. last man brave enough to stand and fight diaz was bj penn though, I don't blame condit and silva for running away but I should cos they take money to entertain not to run away from the fight.
I agree for the most part. It's interesting to see him instinctively check every leg kick his opponent threw at him, considering the fact that now he and his brother never ever check them no matter what. He seemed to have solid leg kicks in this fight and now he only throws goofy head kicks to annoy his opponents, knowing they'll never land cleanly. However, I think his choice to change his boxing from one or two punch combos at full power to his high volume striking style compliments his cardio and works well for him.
+Lucas Cruz you're an idiot if you never relieved both Diaz brothers fight at lower weight classes than they should. Please tell me what is both of their natural fighting weight? Nate goes from 170 to 130 the same with Nick, so don't speak on something that you're just a fan of.
Lucas Cruz he steps up to his natural weight class and he doesn't impress anyone besides talk shit, now when he aims to drop weight meaning to fight a much smaller opponents his reach is a huge factor. Come on man think before you speak everyone that actually know this sport knows the Diaz brothers fight at a much lower weight class and when they fight at their natural weight they don't impress much.
Superior cardio at the end there. Those body shots but the other dude in gas-ville and it was all over from there. This was beautiful, this is the way the UFC should be.
the older i get the more it hurts to see ppl beat on each other like that...but is till have the same heart to watch it and enjoy it... eventually i probably wont

Good point I was thinking the same thing.
it made nick look a lot fucking faster too
Yes totally agree. Makes it seem much more real and just reaffirms the fact that I'll never be good enough to fight these guys haha!

So here it was the when the Stockton slap was born!
That was the rules in Japan. Bas didn't invent it.
