You’re talking about Nate Diaz fights from years ago.How does he have more ways to win? Neither guy will gas, he won't submit Masvidal, his BJJ isn't as great as people think as he's physically and at a big wrestling disadvantage. He can't KO Masvidal either so he has to win a close dec striking on volume where he has far less tools to use.
Every time Diaz faced a top level well rounded fighter like Benson, Rory, RDA etc. he got demolished. Masvidal gets into a lot of close decs with top guys but he'd have to try really hard here to do that when aside from pure BJJ he should be better everywhere.
You were fading him against Pettis and Diaz came in off a multi year layoff and beat the breaks off him, showing improved wrestling and fight iq. Fight easily could’ve been stopped for a guy who can’t ko anyone
