Absolute legend get em Nate
He is gonna lose....no way on earth he has chance....he lost all his respect for accepting a fight with this 🤡
@@dkeditsyoutube lol...imagine thinking you can call diaz a clown or question the respect he's earnt. i suggest watching Oleksandr Usyk vs Derek Chisora if you really are dumb enough to think diaz loses...
@@dkeditsyoutubeWHO ARE YOU AGAIN?! You are a NOBODY! You don’t get to revoke NOBODIES “RESPECT” pass! I’m the hall monitor, go wash the Cheetos off your fingers and get back to class, kiddo!
@@dkeditsyoutube Maybe if he was in his prime he would have a chance but honestly I see him being a punching bag rn..Dude gets hit too much & has no head movement..
He is the best fighter for ufc. He fights and fights and fights. He don't back down. MUCH LOVE
I remember watching Nate over 10 years ago. Remember his brother Nick being upset when he got suspended bc he mentioned wanting to be financially set to get his little brother out of the sport. Crazy how life played out and now they both set for life. Diaz bros deserve it 🙏🏼🤙🏼
Nate being real as it gets
Real Fight Inc 👊🏻 💯
Really hoping Nate wins in dramatic fashion, first call would be from Dana 😂
😆😆💯💯
Nate has zero chance of knocking out Jake Paul. Zero
Nate has Gumby arms when he throws his punches! His arms oddly bend when he throws a flurry of punches and even his wrist bend in the flurry but when he just throws a 1-2 it’s straight and on point but yeah he has no power at all there just pitty pat punches beside the 1-2
Realistically speaking Nate wil not knock him out , but I’m sure Nate can drown him with punches and Jake could win to he’s coming off a loss so he just might want this more than usual. Crazy to think Jake pual the KZheadr from 2017 is fighting Nate Diaz , life is weird
Dana needs to get Nate on powerslap so he can finally get his belt 😂😅
Its hard to critique anything Nate does. He lives and breathes fighting, loves his brother and circle, & He is so genuine and literally doesn't give AF.
That ULTIMATE FIGHTER line at the end……..PURE GENIUS
Yes absolute genius, took all his 20 remaining braincells working together
@@benjaminmichaels1759 wipe the nut off your lips lol
@@benjaminmichaels1759 OH. Your a hater. Never mind
@@michaelherrmann3971 hating on who or what? So if i dont agree with your statement i must be a hater right? Life has more colors than black and white.
@@benjaminmichaels1759🤡
I have no interest in these types of fights normally but Nate deserves it. He deserves a big pay day.
How much money do you think you get from fighting a dorky youtuber💀🤦♂️😂
He’s been getting paid
But the point they’re trying to make is, on his 21st UFC fight, and 29th career fight, he was getting paid 20-20 to fight. I think. He just put a lot of work in for low dollars up until that Conor fight. It’s nice to see him get a fat check for something he’d do for free. haha.
The dopest thing about it is that the fight would have happened sooner but Nate got his guys fighting on the card and he’s making sure they’re all getting paid as well. Real one
Fought Connor twice he been paid!!! This another venture💰💵💰
Nate and Francis nailed it
By different way
Nate vs Francis! Make it happen!
@@Someonebutnoone10king Diaz for the W
What about Askream and T Woodys
Both getting KOd tho
I love Nate.. and wow he s talking a lot clearer than in the past, he s calm , sympathic .. - all the best for Nate !
Everyone always talks about his vocabulary. He is a fighter not a school teacher you feel me. But yes he does talk a lil better. MUCH LOVE
Probably cuz he’s chillin at home
Nate do us all a favor and give us another "I'm not surprised" moments
Nate's the man if he goes out there and knocks out Jake Paul he'll immortalised forever and he's already a legend
@@JohnnySack16 amateur boxer brother of the greatest boxer right now, you are goofy bro
@@fgc1850lol ... what else the chef of tyson fury is the man ? Diaz fan boys are cte creatures
@@JohnnySack16by “Amateur Boxer” he meant tommy fury
😂 imagine that. Unfortunately he will just make mma look bad one more time. All we can hope is that he will do better than Ben.
@@JohnnySack16 he in not a YT boxer, anyone that watches boxing will tell you that he is a real fighter putting in real time and effort, i personally cant stand jake but i will give him credit for that!! he is def not one the greatest but he is decent but also young!!!
Chandler throwing away his last prime years when Connor is just waiting for Nate to come back 😂
Yeah Chandler desperately waiting around for a fight he probably won't get because Connor wants Justin Gaethje and Nate fight
Chandler/connor is a great fight i think. but Nate/connor ? , thats what everyone has been waiting for a long time. might be the biggest ppv ever if the UFC pulls that off. chandler stands no chance to fight connor if nate wants to fight connor.
@@Emorphiamusic Yeah I agree mate don't think chandler will get the fight with Connor to many other big matches to be made
To get whooped again. Lol
You can tell Nate likes Marc Raimondi he definitely opens up more than usual.
You should see when they get to the room.. Nate opens up a whole lot more
Na he spits on him and hes a potato aswell haha
@@Roweus1998nah he doesn't, you are a potato you little shi*
I think Raimondi stayed in Stockton for a couple days with Nate last year. 😂
@@flyingmonke any video on it ?
I admire nate and his brother regardless of their lost these two are relentless warriors who fight til the end no matter what the circumstances how it turns out. Fearless 100% amazing to see them fight.
I absolutely agree!!!
Well, Nick did quite literally straight up give up in his last fight, but outside of that? Sure. I just really hope Nate doesn’t get knocked out. If he does, it’s gonna look soooo bad, and MMA reallyyyyy needs one of these…
@@jordancave3089Dude just had neck surgery, it must've been a nagging injury. Tough thing
Nick Diaz vs Tony make it happen
@@jordancave3089I wonder how many times you have given up at your “job” but yet, I bet your wife and kids still think you are a hard worker. Unless they are like well there was this one one time you left early dad or didn’t show up cause he had a tummy ache lmao.
Nate’s the man.
which man
@@startorfinish wright man
stockton soyboy nate diaz😂😂
@@startorfinishmy man
No he's a woman
I like seeing him in this type of interview. More relaxed and calm lol I hope he wins this! He deserves it! 🙏❤️💪🏽👊🏼
Because the interviewer is incredible
Too bad he won't u lil whorebag where's ur only fans link?
@6:57 "If we're gonna argue, we're gonna fight". That's real.
Is it weird if I used to hate Nate, and now I’m 30+ and I love Nate. I finally get it, the ones who love Nate. Just love real. He’s real we anyone can get.
Let’s go Nate Diaz!!! Best of luck 👏👏👏👏🫡
Nate is a beast! His talk is in fighting! I am behind the Diaz Brothers 100%
Nates put on some muscle for sure it may be hard to understand what he's mainly saying too but he's saying he's doing this not only to fight but to put on his people get them paid and get them the recognition they deserve. Nates a straight G. how could anybody not cheer for the guy.
Why is it hard to understand 🙄we all watching the same video
@simmiesim321 he mumbles a lil and his accent
I dont think ive ever been this emotionally invested in a fight..
If he ko's jake, he should be like "im not surprised mother*uckers" where have I heard that before? 😂
More like “surprised motherfuckers?”
How does Jake call himself a boxer but only wants 6 rounds lol
They are fighting 10 rounds. Also, even if they weren’t, your favorite boxer was fighting 4 rounds in their 7th professional bout.
Diaz bros forever. Best duo ever in fighting history
I concur. Landslide by far !!!!!! Real 💩✌🏾😎
😂😂
Izzy and Volk
I just want Nate to dawg walk this man 😂😂😂
I wish espn would pay ariel as a independent interviewer... I think all parties would benefit. Fans get better quality interviews, fighters are more comfortable
Isn’t Ariel with BT?
Nobody wants that weasel
"My fights over the years promote my fights" Diaz knows we're watching this go down 😂
How can you not like Nate Daiz after watching this interview.
"First I beat him [Conor], and then I rematched him, because I'm not wack." LOL
Nate I pray you show the world how good you really are, you are a legend man.
His face when dude ask a dumb question lol “what’s on the line for you? My head” lol
Awesome interview. Well done, Marc.
Diaz Army coming thru. I'm gonna watch this banger 4 sure. Go Diaz.
The man with one of the biggest if not biggest upsets in UFC history. at UFC 196, March 5, 2016, submitting Conor Mcgregor. How time flies! From the fighter ‘who couldn’t move the needle’ to derailing the golden cash cow, resulting in several main events thereafter and captivating not only the hard core fans but also the ‘casuals’. Legit OG here ✅
It definitely wasn't
Nice casual take How about you look up Serra vs GSP Peña vs Nunes Holm vs Rousey GSP vs Hughes 2 Jones vs Shogun Rua
@@flyingmonke but a lot of people actually watched Conor/Diaz
Nah, real fans knew Nate was gonna be a bad match up for connor
@@flyingmonkewhen it comes to the biggest upset in mma history. It's conor nate 1 for sure. Unfortunately for you there are alot more casuals than hard cores and all of their eyes where on that fight
“Don’t watch” -Nate Diaz 😂
Nate Diaz promotes fights better than anyone except his brother with the DIAZ name. That’s all the Diaz brothers need to get us to watch. Two of the G.O.A.T.S of all time.
Goat?Stop it lol.Their record are below average,they are legends of the sport thats for sure tho.
@@alpe6228Fuck the Diaz brothers-Tony Montana
you do know the OAT in goat means of all time right?
@@shayanmehta343 idiot
It used to be nick a long time ago. No new people know Nate even has a brother. The show is Nate
Nate is a cool dude! He always keeps it 💯
Those chairs look so uncomfortable lol
That’s just Nate being an uncomfortable tweaking human like he is everywhere else. Chairs are probably comfy af😅
I love how mid sentence, every time, nate sounds like hes about to give up.
I love his answers he's great 😅
King Nate🙏🏻
These full body interviews are way better. You can see their body language better and that's more telling of people then their words.
Grammar and spelling are important, too.
@@LetsTravelThroughTimeonly to nerds.
93% of communication is non-verbal. Well better
@@Mcfc2Rich 99.8% with yo momma. ❤️
@@Mcfc2Rich nothing wrong with being a nerd!!! Don't listen to him nerds 🤓 you're all good with me boys!
How long did it take for Marc to climb up that chair?
This guy is a solid reporter
This family is a Diaz fan ❤️🤍💙 we love you Nate and Nick .. as I was coming up on Stockton on an errand. I had you in my thoughts of prayer.. prayed for peace..
I hope Nate comes bacc to the UFC for, at least, one more fight💯
Conor!
U got to love a Diaz interview
It’s good to be seen
Nate rocking Leon gives me reason to believe he can KO Paul. They say power is the last thing to go and Paul can be hit he’s a big target with a big head lol.
Unfortunately I don’t think that power translates to the boxing glove
Askren cracked him after ducking a hook lol.
Legend.
That last line is under-rated. "I'm coming for everybody, just to show I'm the Ultimate Fighter. Rewind to 'The Ultimate Fighter 5', that's were it started popping off for Nate. Dope!
Nate Diaz! The man with no plan! What a legend.
This fight is going to be crazy 🎉🎉
Nate is one of the goats. He should be getting royalties for the BMF belt, which the UFC gonna use in the coming years as well. I hope he wins this one with pressure, dirty boxing and smart clinch work.
Good point
A fake championship that he didn't win? Lmao. Stop it.
Great interview Marc
Real BMF right here ❤
Diaz, do want you want how you want. Your down to earthness will always be admired by anyone who’s done something physical.
Excellent interview. Marc is a pro. Great job.
Great interview
as soon as the video started, I immediately regretted looking for Diaz's interview, I understand one word from ten cca.
I'm not hoping nates gonna win, I KNOW he's gonna win!
This aged well. Lol
im glad Nate got serious about promoting the fight
This is the first time ive ever heard Nate say "pardon my language"
I’ll always support the Diaz bros 💯👊🏻
this man is a real fighter;;; fought so much iq went negative. what a beast. respect nate
"If we're gonna argue, we're gonna fight" Direktor.
Immediate Classic interview*
Props to all you boys in the comments showing Nate love 💪 I've been watching Nick since 05 and nate shortly after, been alot of haters and doubters over the years. If your a true fan, it's doesn't matter how a fight goes for either brother, we are always there backing them up. We are the soldiers of the Nick Diaz Army 🥷
209
Nate doesn’t have to try. He’s bringing his last name. That’s all that’s needed.
The “no raleys sandwiches” hit hard lmao the raleys is like 30 seconds from their house
Love Nate.
This is a dangerous man right there
Absolute best way possible to wrap this interview up. “”To show everybody that I am the ultimate fighter””
To be honest i am looking forward to seeing diaz in a boxing ring . Nate has got some great boxing skills . All i want to see is Nate's jab become abit stiffer on the follow through but other than that i think he can take this fight by KO .
Nates One two is legit. But you are spot on about that jab. Cardio for days, granite chin. Too bad those boxing gloves negate the Stockton Slap!
@@nicadamo5703the constant pressure 24/7 will be too much for jake eventually. Jake might land a nice shot or two early but you can’t train for the mental battle that jake will go through. Nate doesn’t fear him and will not stop coming forward.
@@swaggysteven1848yes exactly, from a technical standpoint Tyson Furry is better then Nate , but Nate will fs have a higher output, and great cardio, if it goes to decision I see Nate winning. If Nate gets a stoppage it will be from overwhelming punches making Jake drop , or drop to a knee
His last full on KO was 18 years ago in 4 ounce gloves and a tko 10 years ago. He’s not knocking anyone out with those big pillows on.
@@MustObeyTheRules so you think nate will get knocked out?
good guy doing the interview..ty...
Good interview
Delighted there are subtitles, being challenging to hear what he was saying.
Nate and Francis are really doing good for themselves.
Top man let's go Nate got are support 👊🙏
What model sunglasses are Nate’s Raybans? Does anyone know?
Nate you are a Trooper you continue to move forward .. Oregon Loves You ❤️❤️❤️
Team Diaz for life !!!
Tony Montana attitude in Nathan! The world and everything in it!
Let’s Go Nate!!!
Props to the guy talking to Nate like a person.
you got this Nate
If that is Nate Diaz‘s house, he’s on top of the world, great to see him rise like that!!!! SURPRISE SURPRISE !!! Woooo!!!! LFG NATE!!!!
The last line was dope. “Ima show everyone I’m the ultimate fighter”🥶
😂
He's so real.. hope for him to win in a spectacular way. Every fight i underestimate his punching power but as we saw in the last round of the Edwards fight... could be wrong.. 😀😮
Let's go Nate!
Gotta love nate "so I can show the wold I'm the ULTIMATE FIGHTER" 😎😎😎😎
Much respect to Nate been a fan since the beginning and he never backs away from anyone regardless of how big ,small he is a real street guy and he is just stand up dude !!
“What’s on the line for this fight”? “a fight, a head”
Boxing different animal than MMA. hope he can do this and do it well.
Hope he gives him on leg kick just for the heck of it 😂
does somebody know whats with the court hearing from 27june with Logsn Paul lookalike who was choked out?
This is 100% Nate Always been a fan. Always Nate being Nate. Dude is street
Nate isn't like these other fighters. He has never been knocked out.....
Josh Thompson dam near flat lined him lol but I see what your getting at
Luv u Nate
