His strikes were NOTICEABLY slower than any of his previous fights and had less pop behind them than ever. That wasn’t the same Diaz in terms of his striking or how he appeared physically.
And some of it’s a knock on him, some of its not. He wasn’t in ideal shape, but the other half is he’s just a lot older than when we last saw him.
He wasnt even ready to fight, he was forced into it. Trained for 6 weeks only.
The fight was announced on 7/13 by Dana White. You had to figure he and Lawler knew about the fight a week or so before that maybe? But even if they didn’t, 7/13 to 9/25 is close to two and a half months. And then on top of that, he was the one posting pictures/videos earlier in the year, where he was in much better shape than he was on fight night.
I like watching the Diaz’s as much as the next guy, but they’re so full of **** when they lose a fight. It’s always, “I’m not gonna make any excuses… but listen to all these excuses so you know what I was going through.” Always some BS sob story.
Yeah, what nonsense from Nick. But I mean this is a dude who clearly has some general problems with cogency. He contradicts himself by the minute.
He did get in there and give, maybe not *all*, but a lot of effort. I am still excited to see him fight.
