Shit on me all you want but this rumored fight against Woodley is the first time I root for Nate Diaz.
Nate is never in a boring fight & I love that but Ive always hated the “I’m from the mean streets of Stockton” tough guy attitude (I’m more into the GSPs of the world).
That said I’m at a point where I cant stand Woodley. He talks big but rarely puts on exciting fights anymore. Not only that he continues to try and call his own shots.
Its a tough stylistic matchup for both guys as Nates pressure, reach, and cardio can give Woodley problems. However Woodley is the stronger more athletic & powerful fighter. They are Taylor made for each other but I’m hoping Nate Diaz can get it done.
I’m in the same camp, if Woodley actually ducks a legit top 5 WW in Covington and fights Nate(Nick I could somewhat understand), I’d love to see him lose and it would be the first time I’ve rooted for a Diaz bro.
I will be rooting for Woodley, I love a champ that is happy to defend. Diaz is straight up undeserving of any kind of title shot but this way at least we can get a highlight reel KO for Tyron.
diaz nuthuggers + woodley haters = ufc selling a not competitive fight. it's bisping / gsp all over.
You must be that one fan that prefers to watch Woodley vs Thompson or Woodley vs Maia than watch GSP vs Bisping. I'd watch GSP vs Bisping 10 times in a row before watching one of those others.
