Does Nick wear down Dustin with the relentless punches and sink in a choke in the later rounds or does Dustin utilize leg kicks and wrestling to create a boring fight and win on the cards?
Prime Nick is the better boxer, much better BJJ, muuuuch better athlete, and more durable. Better chin and everything
Nick would wash him 10/10 times

Nick overwhelms him with volume before tapping him out. Nick is too big, too precise, and his endurance is too much for Dustin.

Nick is a better endurance athlete, but overall, neither guy is particularly athletic.

Prime Nick Diaz, the one that dismantled Frank Shamrock and Gomi, was capable of beating the devil himself on any given night.

The weight difference is not that big
Nick is a medium ww, probably walks around 185.
Dustin is a big lw, probably walks around 180.
Nick would beat him because he’s better at everything. Boxing exchanges would be fun to watch though, KJ Noons did well with Nick, so Dustin might have a sliver of hope there
I really like Poirier but he’s not beating prime Nick Diaz. Nick is bigger, has a granite chin, and cardio for days. They’re probably pretty even on boxing skills but once it goes pass the 2nd round the fatigue starts to set in with Poirier while Diaz starts to ramp up.

Colby said Dustin walks around at 186 which is more than Colby himself

Dustin just doesn’t look that big nor that drawn out during weigh-ins. I can believe 175, but not more than that. I can see prime Nick weighing around the 195-200 mark.

Yeah I’m not saying KJ won or anything, but the scorecards don’t tell the story of that fight. Nick clearly won to me, but it was a very competitive fight and KJ had his moments.
My big takeaway was that KJ was underrated
KJ did also beat him in the first fight. Spawning the creation of “don’t be scared homie”
He probably starts his water cut at 175, but his natural weight not at the end of fight camp is most likely around 185.
I think both of them in shape, not right at the end of camp, Diaz is probably 85-90 and Dustin 80-85.
Prime Nick was just too durable, his pace and volume would eventually break Dustin.
