Nick vs Roy Dean no gi was on youtube

Last time I saw nick compete, he won the US open as a purple belt. Beat some guy from Claudio Franca's gym that was the favorite to win... i forget his name though. Gumby may have also been in that bracket as a purple.

To me what really stands out in my mind about Nick Diaz ground game, is the way he fought Tibau. Gleison got his arm early and is clearly on roids.

Nick said fuck that shit, lesser fighters and grapplers tap quick here or get their shit snapped. I remember Nick saying something to the effect of "I didn't know this motherfucker was a limb breaker though"

Diaz was just so methodical on top in that fight. This is a good fight to see how technique, endurance, stamina etc. outweighs being on PEDs.

Nick would really hurt Robbie Lawler.

 

Crazy that these guys are still at the top of the game, but it makes sense too.
