I'll be the first to admit that i've chuckled in the past at some of the things the Diaz brothers have said, but when it comes to Nate, I think you have to give credit where credit is due: the kid ALWAYS comes to fight and there's no BS with him. He's never failed a drug test and, to my knowledge, he's always participated at press conferences and done all the PR type stuff the UFC asks of him.
It would probably be easy for him to take after his brother's footsteps, he clearly looks up to Nick, but he consistently does the right thing. Thats probably not easy and you have to respect that.
So yeah, he's an unusual character and I occasionally laugh at some of the things he'll say, but im a big fan of the kid and im glad to see its paying off for him.

You know what, that's all perfectly fair. I sort of paint him with the same brush as his brother, but you're right, and I'll try to keep that in mind in the future.
To be honest when I saw The Fighter the first thing I thought of when I saw Christian Bale playing Dicky was Nate would have been perfect for that role.
No offence, but who cares about your clueless women.
Nate's got a title shot coming and he's the man.
Tell your geefs to shut it.
TheIronCodpiece - Holy silly butthurt batman! I don't think anyone is meaning to be bashing or very insulting here, just pointing out that, unless it's rehearsed beforehand, Nate sounds like a marble mouth/retard. Tard strength or not, kid is talented
Not meaning to be insulting then calling him a marble mouth/retard? are YOU retarded?
My girlfriends younger brother asked me the same thing and like you I didn't know how to respond lol 
This thread is pathetic. All of you on here trying to be funny at Nate's expense need to take a long hard look in the mirror. If you still can't see it let me spell it out for you. You are a bloody cunt rag.
i roll my eyes every time some wise guy uses retard or tard as way to describe someone. seems to me like if they were born 100 years ago they would be the same people would be using the N word for blacks.
Mix6APlix -Wowow easy with the name calling, pal.RandyDarsh -Mix6APlix -Still bitter over millers loss? Give it time troll
The Diaz Bros, or Nate, since he isn't retired, should get these guys as sponsors.
I wanted Diaz to beat Miller. Why would I be bitter. If you actually read my posts, you'd know that. But you'd rather just sit on the computer and call me names. Hope that works out well for you cunt.
After the post-fight interview my wife commented about his lisp and wondered if he had speech therapy when he was little. My first thought was considering their messed up childhoods who knows if they got the treatment that they needed.....

This. I have a little brother with muscular dystrophy, I get the fact that most people don't mean any harm by it, but if I heard someone call my little bro a retard I would totally lose my shit.
duckhuntgangsta - I'm sure getting punche din the mouth doesn't help either. Sorry to hear about your brother. The pyschology of the interenet is very interesting. When you are with someone in person you there is a level of empathy that happens non-verbally. You don't get that over a computer. Just viral RAGE.
Very true. Probably why a lot of fighters don't post here.
Back on subject, I'll tease the Diaz brothers about some of the dumb crap they say or do, but you can't deny how hard they've worked to get where they are. Considering their childhoods, dealing with a lisp or ADD, etc., they've come a long way.
theRosaParksOfMMA -8flat -Lol dealing with ADD.... ADD is not a disease it's a personality.... I enjoy my 90x20mg of adderall per month because people believe in this "disease". <img src="/images/phone/apple.png" alt="Phone Post" border="0" style="vertical-align:middle;"/>duckhuntgangsta - I'm sure getting punche din the mouth doesn't help either.

LOL...good for you, I guess?
Point being, having ADD, especially if it's severe, sure didn't help Nick growing up.

Tommy Gunnz - my wife asked if he was retarded and I wasn't sure how to respond lol but the dude can scrap regardless! #tard strengthAnd that's why your watching him fight and not the other way around...
And slap her next time beta
Diaz and denis hallman seem like they have swollen tongues.
Well, this thread's mean-spirited and full of people that will never come close to fighting for a UFC belt.
Hypothetical: would you rather be an accomplished and wildly successful "retard" or a "never-was/will-be" who speaks flawless English?
ALSO, contrary to popular belief - how one speaks is not always a direct correlation to their level of intelligence...
At least that's probably how Stephen Hawking and Sylvester Stallone feel.
(Yes, I just compared Nate to Hawking to Stallone.)
lol, meant no offense Tommy (assuming you saw my post before it was deleted), just drunk and thinkin I was funny...
RifatSahin -Lol!Tommy Gunnz - my wife asked if he was retarded and I wasn't sure how to respond lol but the dude can scrap regardless! #tard strength? think ur wife is retarded =))) dafuq is she doing outside of the kitchen???
TOAO - Nick and nate are the most interesting people in mma.
