To this day nobody has outclassed Nate Diaz like Benson did. Those WEC boys were legit.
Hermes Franca, Stun Gun, Josh Thomson, and Rory MacDonald all similarly owned Nate.

You weren’t around for this and you’re already “not invested anymore”? Jeez these are part time mma fans acting like they know shit. Thank goodness the Conor era is over so these ppl can go back to baseballmaybe lol
but I'm not that invested anymore.
Nobody drops Nate AND out classes Nate in grappling for five rounds. Benson was throwing thigh punches to set up an overhand right against what the analysts was calling was one of the best boxers in the lightweight division. I feel like you’ve done a good job on the ground against Nate if by the fifth round all he has for defense is a middle finger. I can see the argument for Josh but if Nate’s corner didn’t throw in the towel... I don’t know. I have to rewatch the other fights, but I vaguely remember Franca giving him the business. Off his back against wrestlers, Nate is either really good or really bad. Honestly I hold Rory’s win over Josh’s. Stun Gun was a problem at welterweight for a minute. Still I keep to Benson being the best at fighting Diaz.Hermes Franca, Stun Gun, Josh Thomson, and Rory MacDonald all similarly owned Nate.

LOL... I pretty much came on here a couple years back put my mind to the sport for a few weeks and visualized the damn future of the sport and wrote out the blue print for it. Had a bunch of people dedicated to it for years think I was a full of shit casual and then it turns out I was right.You weren’t around for this and you’re already “not invested anymore”?

You're making me feel old brother. Feel like that was a year or two ago.Anyone remember when he fought Brandon Thatch at WW on short notice with a toothpick in his mouth the entire fight?
To be fair, Thatch is one of those guys that probably has negative ambition.subs a much bigger guy while casually chewing on a toothpick

The Conor vs Dustin fight isn't the first time we've seen this technique since Benson
