      NIck was the first to do that , throwing punch at 50% force to don't kill himself , and then by touching , touching , touching people fall at one moment. Your body can handle one huge punch here and there , but Nick would drown you through punch , he come with 5 6 punch combos it almost coming form everywhere that you are blind to it , it's like the right touches you but not half a second later the left in your face too. And it's non stop . And when he sees that you are in difficulty or being hurt , then the real power comes in ans he hits 100%. But I always find Nick boxes fascinating coz his style is akward to say the list , I mean his position , the way he hits , the angle and not just angle of where he hits , even it's seems he punch with bended hand it's weird ^^, but man he crushed many people with it.

      Combative sports (Boxing and UfC are evil)
      In the eyes of The Lord Jesus Christ, breaking someone’s nose or jaw (especially for money), is extremely wrong! Such a thing is NOT loving or kind at all.
      And even more so, cheering for another human being to be kicked in the face, or given a bloody nose, or a black eye, beaten up, or “knocked out unconscious ”- Is extremely wrong in His eyes as well. When we see two people fighting we should be appalled or displeased at the sight of it, Not be happy or excited….
      He feels that it is extremely wrong to take excitement or pleasure in seeing someone’s son or daughter be being injured or beat up. In the eyes of the Lord it’s wrong!
      For these reasons, amongst all of the sports, MMA And Boxing are the sports that the HOLY Father despises the most as He considers them as especially evil or wicked. And I am sorry to say it, but He is right.
      (Psalm 11:5)- “The Lord tests the righteous, but his soul hates the wicked and the one who loves violence.”

      Also His record is 37 total pro fights, 26 Wins 9 losses and 2 No contests. Thats a little over 24% win/loss ratio
      final thought: Robbie's brawling style and tendency to brawl even harder when he gets hurt versus Nick's clean boxing, "Diaz Brothers chin", and
      Gracie blackbelt?

    This man deserves some form of compensation. He couldn't fight for most of his prime because he used a "drug" that more than half of the fighters use while other guys made a career out of abusing PEDs

      @@dr.loomis4221 which rule says that they have to give such ridiculous penalties? They could have just fined him 1500 dollars and given him a 1 month suspension if they wanted to lmao, the commissions have discretion with stuff like that

      @@MrRazmut I think that it's very simple. If a person tests positive, he can only fight someone who also tests positive. And maybe two at once.

      @Joe Deadfinger We are talking about nick diaz 26-9-2, how is that losing half the fights.. And he was facing dangerous and good opponents from the beginning. No padding to his record, like khabib who has like 16 fights with tomato cans

    I wasn't into mma while Nick was a stand out. But man after seeing this him and Nate fight just like each other. That "stockton slap" putting in work. They crazy good on their feet and it's scary that they are just as good on the ground.

      I always thought he threw lots of volume, but most of his punches didn’t have power, until I saw the faces of his opponents, which said otherwise.
