Nate Diaz Tried To Quit Multiple Times vs Tony Ferguson and Then Won

[Tone]

This fight was sort of crazy in a sense that Nate was trying to follow in Nick's footsteps and quit multiple a times in this fight but the Marc Goddard refused to call off the fight. He kept disengaging, turning around and even seemed to wave off the fight but to no avail. He looked like he was completely gassed and wanted to call it a day just like Nick vs Lawler but in a hilarious twist of a fate catches Tony in a choke to win the fight.

This might have been the most hilarious 180 I've ever seen in MMA.

Typical Diaz fight. Nothing new to see here.

 

[Copper Burner]

Nate's legs were hamburger. Tony couldve easily finished the job if he wanted to.
Watching it live, it seemed Tony was relieved that Nate won. Definitely a weird fight.

 

[TheBulge]

I know. It was surreal. Both him and his brother have overcome so much damage to win, they were some of the few guys you could truly see fighting to the death instead of quitting.

This was the fight where it was made clear Tony had transitioned from a wild wolf to a tame sheep.

Old Tony would've pounced on Nate in all of those moments

 

[VinceArch]

Definitely a strange fight. Exciting for sure and Tony was showing a bit of his old self in this fight and in that 4th round ending up getting caught after having success throughout 15 minutes.

 

[Harlekin]

Tony was just trying to set his stock lower, so Khabib would fight him...in his soon to be prime

Are you implying Tony didn't want to win?

 

[Trabaho]

He was taking rests, he didn't atempt to quit

Missed the rematch between Robbie, and Nick, I guess?

I thought he was just taunting. Idk though. Meh fight. I remember Diaz dominating it.

Why would anyone think Nate would be a good boxing opponent for a much bigger/younger Jake Paul, or a good MMA fight now for Poirier after he fought like that against a totally shot Tony?

Some things I'll never understand.

 

[geardo]

He was clearly just clowning which is why the ref didn't call it. Lame thread.

From what I remember, Nate clearly outboxed Tony but ate a lot of leg kicks that he didn't even try to check. Nate was acting weird and it seemed like it could go either way before Tony tried the ill-advised TD.

It was a bit like Nate-Cerrone from years earlier, but much sloppier and less dominant for Nate, who wasn't landing with the same volume he did when younger.

 

[TheBulge]

Missed the rematch between Robbie, and Nick, I guess?

That was the point. They both went from Pitbulls turning into quitters. Keep up.

 

[Objectively Correct]

The fuck did you expect from Marc Goddard? Second worst dumbass to have ever stepped foot in the octagon with the first being Herb. Hate those two retards.

 

[Tone]

He was clearly just clowning which is why the ref didn't call it. Lame thread.

Watch round 3 again after he takes another particularly stiff leg kick that buckles his knee. He has a visceral reaction and proceeds to disengage. Nate wanted out, turned his back, started walking away and even waved off the fight. He was the clown and only re-engaged because Tony mocks him by laying down.
