Prime Nate Diaz beats the hell outta Gaethje

[tramendous]

ok mate, the journeyman beat justin in your dream, what do we do ?

Talking about realistic hypotheticals between current fighters isnt as big of a fantasy as youre making it out to be. Journeyman is also a phrase thats misused a lot by the fanbase. Prime nate was a contender who deserved a titleshot. Legitimate Contenders arent journeyman.

No one who gets beat by Guida, Maynard, and Joe Daddy stands a chance against JG

Thats not to say that Diaz was necessarily the better fighter but i think he'd have Gaethje's number stylistically. Nick and Nate Diaz thrive on people tiring themselves to knock them out and are almost impervious to leg kicks.

I think Nate walks through Gaethje's shots, taunts and walks him down, slaps the hell outta him and then TKOs an exhausted Gaethje. Even after he changed his style, i still dont think Gaethje would be disciplined enough to stop himself from punching himself out.

No.

5 round fight Gathje gasses and Nate takes him, if his scar tissue doesn’t open up. He won’t finish Nate with leg kicks, and we all know the RDA that demolished him was a very different fighter when testing got serious. Gathje was gassed in the first round yesterday

Benson Henderson ate Diaz up with leg kicks....Gaethje puts him in a wheel chair.

Gaethje wouldn't need much more than low-kicks to beat Diaz. He just needs to make Diaz plant, and counter with a hard low kick. Also, there is a good chance that Gaethje knocks Diaz out.

I gave this a like because I think it’s a fun next fight for both.
Even though I think they're going to talk Gaethje into gifting chandler a fight.

 

[Sweater of AV]

What a great fight this would be. It's a shame the Goof doesn't have the balls to make fights like this happen.

 

[r-harper-1]

Gaethje either fucks nates legs up or Diaz pulls guard and gets a easy sub ....winnable for both

 

[Safton]

Depends entirely on what Gaethje it is and how long of a fight IMO. Those two factors can take this from Gaethje getting finished to finishing Nate. I'll expand on this later.

 

[DrunkMonkMeth]

Nate isnt a top fighter

Agree

Great, now Nate Diaz is the next mythical LW Creature.

I know I said Gaethje doesn't beat Poirier, but he steamrolls Nate. Nate is nowhere NEAR the grappler Khabib is, he doesn't posses that threat on the Feet.

Diaz would catch him with a flying arm bar.

 

[Krushey]

Prime Mothra beats out-of-prime Shin Godzilla.

These threads are so fucking stupid.

Wasteland this fairytale bullshit.

 

[ShreddinMMA]

Lol Nate is impervious to low kicks?

Benson Henderson, RDA, and Josh Thompson are all fighters who all used kicks to abuse Diaz.

Fact: Diaz is one of the most overrated fighters of all time at this point. His mythology thanks to the first Conor fight have people believing he was some world beater back in his "prime".

He wasn't.

 

[Metallicalabran]

I love Diaz bros (just look at my avatar and signature) but... LOW KICKS

 

[Goatbib]

Nate Diaz is a journeyman and Justin will make his brother throw in the towel.

 

[JSN]

Nayt, the guy who fights a lot like Tony Ferguson but can’t wrestle or check low kicks? Nah bra.

 

[Mike]

Probably not though

Nate Diaz was not impervious to Benson Henderson's leg kicks...he got chopped down like a Maple tree.
