Thank God Nate Diaz is Back

Nate Diaz is my favorite fighter other than his brother Nick Diaz. Nate Diaz was for some reason a giant underdog against Michael Johnson on UFC Fight Night, but Diaz beat the holy shit out of Johnson. Johnson foolishly decided to box with Diaz, and basically got his ass handed to him
Announcer Joe Rogan decided to go with the narrative of Johnson chewing up Nate’s leg for the whole first round, while Nate moved without any problem and picked Johnson apart. Eventually Rogan picked up that Johnson wasn’t really going to touch Diaz.
It’s always amazing to see an MMA fighter who can’t deal with a jab. Michael Johnson is one of those guys. He never got in to the right distance and was only able to land leg kicks on Diaz.
In the second round Nate started with the taunting and Johnson ended up in a striking battle that he couldn’t win. All the while Nate was pointing and laughing at the outmatched Johnson, the sixth-ranked fighter in UFC’s lightweight division.
We all know that Diaz’s low ranking (15th) wasn’t due to his skill level, but rather the fact that he’s spent the last two years beefing with UFC head honcho Dana White. This is the guy that landed a record amount of significant strikes against Donald Cerrone, who fought for the title on the same card. Nate Diaz anked fifteenth. What a load of bullshit.
Nate grabbed for a kneebar after the end of the fight and Johnson rightfully kicked him a few times.
So Nate put on a clinic and won the decision 29-28 (unanimous). He also dropped so many F-bombs that we couldn’t hear what he said other than that he wants to fight bantamweight champion Conor McGregor Keep this guy off network TV. It was literally just silence while he talked, they censored the whole thing.
It’s pretty ridiculous that we can watch two guys beat the shit out of each other in a cage, but if someone drops a fuck bomb, our pretty little ears can’t hear it unless we pay for Pay Per View. Thanks Obama.
Here’s what Diaz said, via MMAfighting.com:
“Fuck that,” Diaz said. “Conor McGregor, you’re taking everything I worked for, motherfucker. I’m gonna fight your fucking ass. You know what’s the real fight, what’s the real money fight – me. Not these clowns that you already punked at the press conference. Ain’t nobody wants to see that. You know you can beat them already. It’s an easy fight. You want the real shit. Right here.
Looks like everyone wants to wear the red panties.
