I like that Ariel allows his guests to talk and not interrupt them.
Shows his respect for Nate.
Shots fired at Joe Rogan
he's a real journalists
Lol Schaub is the worst about that. Always interrupting the guests
Schaub is a highly annoying presenter. Average fighter too.
So many great one-liners and truth bombs dropped in this. Clearly Nate can carry on a good long conversation as long as he's comfortable w/ the interviewer. Maybe it's time to go on JRE now.
i second that 👍
jre would be badass
Yeah, it would have to be both of them. That would be awesome.
Yea Joe always takes it to a whole other level.
JRE is too long... I think Nate Diaz just said enough about what is there to say on his rematch with Mcgregor.
Gotta love Nate Diaz! Ariel you should do more of this occasionally one on one interviews.
That's Nate Lol
i totally agreee guna hav million views this soon
god dammit! I meant Nate* of course! :D
Yooooo, Yair is an MMA fan? Love the art been a viewer for a long time
Sure am brother! thank you!
I watched this a second time. Great interview. Love how Ariel lets him talk - no ego. Let's us hear all that, no interruptions. I love the Diaz Brothers for keeping it real. Get paid, my ninjas.
That's the only reason I follow this channel ...you free to speak your mind ...Hope to see more of DIAZ brothers here !
Ariel is smart that way. He knows his interviewees. He knows once Nate gets comfortable and gets on a roll, he'll roll out the real talk non-stop and it's hilarious.
+yoseiki your so ignorant
At least they can produce a coherent thought, which, considering that both attempts in your post are pretty stupid, seems to be more than can be said for you...
Tommy Vercetti Little Nate is going back to the Prelims and back to his lil 20/20 pay-cheque. Lord Conor tips that. That's less than his show money. #bum
Ariel Helwani. one of the top reporters out there today.
he's THE best sports reporter as far as I'm concerned. Show me one other reporter who puts up with getting choked, pushed around and taken down just to get interviews lol! The man is genuinely in love with MMA, that's what makes him the best
he got slapped too
and I gotta say he is even better since leaving Fox!
he's amazing ...what he does for mma
Now the UFC banned him from their shows. Just a disaster from the UFC...
Love Conor but you gotta love Nate too. Tells it how it is
yes.
No bro... This is the internet. You HAVE to pick a side.
U love conor for what? u love how the media/ufc build him up? u like that? Like it or not withour the media/ufc getting behind conor and building him up he would be Nothing. So if u like conor and think he is something spec then u are a media puppet .
+Loveoldies7 he's ko'd Aldo stiff in 13 seconds... they built him up but he already proved himself, everyone was just waiting on him to lose so they could stop using excuses to discredit him & start using a loss against him.... everyone loses name one person who has gone undefeated in the ufc ....
herb mcgruff He didn't ko aldo you dummy ! that was a fluke , There's absolutely nothing with beating midgets
Nate THE GOAT! WEST SIDEEEEEE
WESTSIDE IS THE BESTSIDE
Nate is the GOAT AND TBE
Nate's a bum
your a bum!!
So Mgregor the self proclaimed GOAT got beat up and choked out by a bum? What does that make Conor then? lol
It was great to hear Nate talk about his bro Nick. It's such a good story I wish the UFC would cover it
I really think they need to write a book about their story. I would buy it. I'm so hooked into their childhood and all the obstacles they had to overcome and the relationship these two brothers have forged to take care of each other. I'm surprised no one has approached them with a book deal. Maybe they have.
+Jon Jones And Jon should learn to drive.
Yes , I agree 100%
Reminds me of the movie warrior
This is the greatest interview ever! "That's a nice tweet you f'n dork" lmfao
Time stamp please man ?
+Asanka kenway I believe it was 50:00
Thannks bro :D
Uhbsurd did you know real time,
46:08
UFC 209 should have both Diaz bros in it. Now that would be a huge ppv.
When is Nick's suspension up?
August or September....I think it's August though.
kzhead.info/sun/dLRqcpSrioltY2w/bejne.html Looks like Nate aint loving the idea.
Yeah I saw that but hey money talks.
Nate doesn't like to fight on the sam night as any of his teammates.
"That's reimbursement is what that is, I ain't even been paid yet"
Such a great quote, really enjoyed this interview, once Nate opens up and relaxes a bit he has some really interesting, yet funny and no punches held back things to say. He spoke pretty much for the whole hour himself and it never felt long or boring. Good on Ariel to let him talk and not butt in to much.
dragnink09 Yes! He couldn't have been more right about that. Great stuff.
nate is the first to expose the irish hype....and a bad ass in his own right
They suppose to be good boxers traditionally right? Look at the movies and that Notre Dame icon's stance.
Exactly!
Real talk from Nate Diaz. Gotta love the Diaz brothers - true warriors and fighters!
lol.
Kiss mine!!!
king conor would bury him next time..then ate him like a gazelle..conor 2.0!
+haru glory that dream is over,he can't beat a true ninja.
+haru glory the only gazelle was coner.Was.
Genuinely hilarious. man we're so damn happy people are finally recognizing who Nate Diaz is. Been fans a long time.
I think Nate has a lot of respect for Ariel Helwani because he didnt go to any mainstream media to drop an interview..... he did a whole hour on the MMA hour. Its great to see.....
Nate is the real deal. Definitely not the poster boy the UFC wants to promote for the brand.
That is why he is so awesome
"A product of Nick Diaz" that's BROTHERLY LOVE. Well said.
Conor is 1 loss away from being a joke, make it happen King Nate.
3 losses on his mma career
True that!
He still would be a champion tho.
+Lord Conor McGregor lol until he defends it he's not a true champ
Exactly.
Ariel, I just want to tell you, you are one class act, my man! Seriously, you are the hardest working man in the MMA world. What an interview, you let the man talk without interrupting, yet you were able to get your questions answered. More importantly, you did it with class which in turn kept Nate's attention. The fact that you didn't ask any stupid questions, which Nate won't tolerate, gave us Nate fans a wonderful look into what Nate is all about and what he stands for. Very nice job and thank you!
So many angry McGregor fans on here I love it.
Righhht lol
Where are these fans? I haven't seen these fans for a while. To the contrary, it seems like most videos where McGregor is being discussed are completely infiltrated by his detractors. It's funny... as his fanboys who followed his every move have disappeared, haters like you have now taken their place. You guys follow him and comment on as many articles or videos related to him that you can. The unusual thing is that it makes complete sense for his fans who love him to constantly talk about him, but it doesn't make any sense why people who supposedly aren't fans have the same obsession over him. You guys are a weird bunch.
.
Arch Angel No worries... I got a special spray for rapists with micro penises... It is kind of like the bear spray but more effective.
Chaotic Picks You should return it, and get a spray that will actually work then. Don't worry, I'm sure one of the associates will help you reach it off the shelf.
I'm Irish and love Conor. But Nate is a legend. Such a great fighter, such a nice person too. So happy for him.
what is with you guys? sounds like you would even support a pedophile if he was Irish.
Hmmm. Comparing a successful MMA fighter to a paedo. You're a smart one!
u are a part of rare group of people..at least in the comment section..true mma fan..respect
aremedy frosty all of em..nate conor and bisping are good people outside of fighting...they do these things to mentally get ready for fighting..some people need it..the thing is conor and bisping sometimes cross the line...
nikhil uniyal only in your cracked out mind
nate have been in this game from the beginning, and he got a valid point.
The Diaz Brothers are the most exciting and real fighters in MMA. Nick & Nate are the best.
Great upload. Nate is so real. Nice to finally see him get his turn in the spotlight. I like the talk about Nick Diaz too and the bond they have with each other.
He's not really in the spotlight anymore, he got his 15 minutes of fame 😴
Nah he is really buzzing still.
***** Sorta kinda
I wanna see him officially back at 170 and not 155 "fighting midgets"
Nate Diaz and Ariel Helwani: two rebels of MMA...this is so great
Nate has 14 finishes inside the UFC octagon but no one is talking about it same finishes as Anderson Silva.
14 fight bonuses in 20 UFC fights and he's been fighting top competition since he was 21-22 years old. That's damn impressive if u ask me
+kopxpert At that age Mcgregor was fighting bum fighters from ireland in bars... Nate could've had an amazing 20-0 record coming into the UFC as well. Had he started off fighting the same guys Conor fought early in is career.
greatest interview i have ever seen in my life
for real!
surely he coulda waited till after the interview to have a bong (37 mins you can hear the bubbling of a water pipe)😃
I'll always buy a Diaz pay per view!
Great interview
Yep same
Nate Diaz is becoming so good at giving interviews now, I love it. Cuz Diaz brothers are the 2 greatest at telling it like it is, but sometimes the message is lost in translation.
nate diaz kills it !!!
Great to see Nate enjoying his over due recognition and appropriate pay. Good job Ariel
the best interview in the history of MMA
I absolutely lost it at 35:03 just how Nate's all serious and then that face comes out of nowhere XD
Nathan Diaz!! ❤❤ One of the best interviews of him. NorCal luv. Represent
UFC better put some respeck on NATE!!!
I think I like Nate even more than I like Nick now. When Nick comes back to fighting and starts doing interviews and media again it will be like Christmas.
Nate's public speaking is better than Nate. Nick seems to also "hate the world" more than Nate. Nate's generally more chill, jokes around and tells personal stories more. I like them both though, there's always golden one line quotes whenever they do interviews
wut lol
And we are back man
Unlike what the sad Mcgregor commenters are saying, Nate AND Nick Diaz had a massive following before UFC 196. They have a lot of fans who will support them win or lose, unlike the majority of Conor 'fans' who shat all over him after he tapped to Nate
nate diaz is awesome. inside and outside the octagon.
Took The Fight On 10 Days Notice An Did His Thang Give That Man His Respek All Tree Of Y'all
I ain't gonna say no moe,lol
+MandO “GuerrerO” 13 are y'all finished or y'all done?
but that wont be gangsta....
way to kill the joke nerds
Conor basically took the fight on short notice, against a different fighter and at two division's above his comfortable weight. He deserve's Respect not abuse from salty bumboys.
Congrats on the interview. It was very good. Nate Diaz fan here.
he looks more and more like nick everyday
He's actually looking a little chubby.
+Mahogany Blue what???take a better look....
It's a slow but steady transformation.
thats what vacation does for you
That is so true. I kept seeing a little bit of Nick in the face.
He was my idol long before he beat Conor, i can listen to him talk for hours
When he starts talking about his brother, I swear I started choking back tears! Respect to these guys!
Been a fan of Nate Diaz from the moment he stood his ground with Karo Parisyan on Ultimate Fighter 5. Hope he gets all the respect and money he deserves.
good job ariel!! you made nate open up. great to watch
This proves the difference between Nate and Conor. Conor actually believes he will beat Mayweather but Nate knows he would not.
And Nate is a FAR BETTER boxer than McGregor. Nate whupped McGregor's ass in terms of boxing, WTF he is gonna do to Mayweather ? RIDICULOUS ! I hope this fight never happens...
Exactly, Nate is a better boxer and he knows his place in that game.
I have been thinking about this all week , and i think is the best and most memorable interviews. i like how you give him room to speak and adapt your questions according to his answers.
What a genuine man he is
Damn that was touching how much he loves Nick, that's insane. There brotherly love is the strongest in the history of sports PERIOD. 52:46 is where it starts. He held back saying "he's my hero" a couple times I think.
instantly liked without seeing
Best episode of all time I literally felt my heart race increase when I saw those beautiful words - Nate Diaz
Great job by Ariel to let Diaz talk and not interrupt him like a lot of interviewers.
Conor hit Diaz with his best shots and Diaz laughed them off like they were nothing. Conor put everything in those shots and landed clean, no effect whatsoever. Then Diaz lands a 1,2 and Conor bows down to King Diaz.
A cut is nothing
most of them did not land on the chin though, which is a huge factor.. he has a good chin no denying there, but anyone's chin can be cracked if landed clean..
diaz was bleeding out of his ear after the fight....calm down
+Ramunas Siskauskas unless your Sugar Ray Robinson that dude had the greatest chin of all time n greatest fighter too.
Nate 'The Needle Breaker' Diaz
Jeff Novitzky is the needle breaker, you see what I did there.
Great work Ariel..We love the Diaz Brothers...does not get more real then this interview.
Ariel is really crushing it with the interviews! Another superb piece, and Diaz is such a boss.
after watching this i love Nate even more!!
Show starts at 2:09
Yea i work at mcdonalds now
+Tom wow that's better than I would've guessed
209 WHERE YOU AT!?
Thanks Tom. You're a good friend.
35:00 dana white calls nates cell, nate ignores the call, and then dana calls ariels cell....just watch. ariel mentioned it in his show after he was banned from ufc events...props to both of them for ignoring dana's micromanaging
Holy crap! You're right. That is just too weird. Man, Dana must have really been angry.
Title shot for Nick in August please..
i wish conor will fight me just so my bum broke life will change
"Nate get rich or die trying" this is why ariel is the best in the biz. hahahahaa
Ariel you're an excellent interviewer...actually letting the guest speak and just leading the conversation ever to slightly here and there...asking the right questions...keep up the great reporting man
Nate is a true warrior ,much respect
From watching this I finally understand Nate! Really get to see what kind of person he is from this!
Such a great interview! It was embarrassing to me that I was surprised by his insight....of course he gets the game,,,,he's been in it for a long time! Respect!
great opportunity for both new and old fans to learn. great interview THANKS !!
Man what Nate said about his brother Nick was dope
"Im Ceasar Gracie Jiu Jitsu, Im Richard Perez Boxer and all of that but as a Martial Artist im a product of Nick Diaz"
Nice Work Ariel nice Work...👍🏻
Great show loved the entire interview.
I was sitting glued to my screen lol best interview ever!!
brilliant content guys
That was an incredibly enjoyable interview. Support Conor but Nate's a great guy.
Same
This was so good. Love the Interview, Really hope Nate gets the fight he wants.
this interview is the greatest I've seen 🐐🐐🐐🐐!!
"Everybody else is training to be a movie star." So true.
Awesome. From a huge McGregor fan.
Nate and Nick are the best with being two of the realest fighters ever, this was an awesome episode,cheers Ariel and to the Diaz brothers.
Not many people are real like Nate and his brother are. Not only the mma but the world needs more people like them
Imagine what Nick would do to McGregor after watching Nate?
Screw Conor Give Us Nate At MSG @718
Or The Barkleys @BKNY
Or The Barkleys @BKNY
+ice man Charles Barkley has a arena I didn't know that lol.
Never been a big Diaz fan as I'm only Been watching mma for 4 years but as my interest in the sport grows and being all the way here in NZ these sorts of real people in real interviews thank you ariel awesome show keep up the good work
Just listened again. You and Karyn do the best interviews in the industry. Best to you Ariel!
"dance for me Nate dance for me, but dont look me in the eyes"
conor really does see the future. he predicted nate would mount him.
Haha, that was a classic line from McGregor, he should have been a comedian.
Maybe Conor call it dance....i saw the good old stockton slap thou....
tap for me conor and don't look at me in the eyes when you tap
best mma hour ever
awesome show.. glad to see there is one person in the media that gives nathan the respect and acknowledgment he deserves!!!! great show ariel.. you are the man.. #represent
nate Diaz is life! got mad love and respect for Diaz brothers
27:26 - 28:24 Every up and coming fighter should listen to that. That's the mindset of a true fighter.
real talk
It was cracking me up watching his skype freeze. He was all into it and angry and then it just cuts to a pic of him smiling
glad to see someone else pointed that out. i was laughing pretty hard. since it happened twice
+IronFabianSteel That freeze happened because Dana was calling. Check Ariel at 35:33 because Dana rang his cellular...
Nate is holding all the cards right now. And he as well as I, am loving it!
Thanks Ariel! great interview. Success
Stockton Slap on the rematch please ...
Give Nate his Nice Dinner too!!! "Stockton!!!"
Thank you very much that was great! Nate is the MAN!
You can see how comfortable Nate is. This is how you interview someone.
Dude is badass...straight up
conor is a bum version of cathal pendred
XxsplaSh0-o don't cry its ok
hahaha
Nate is mostly complementary of Connor. You say you know better?
He's the featherweight champion mate
that's a pretty stupid statement
Awesome interview all-round... Big Nate Diaz baby!!!
thank coner for all these interviews
