    I remember at time where Nick & Nate Diaz were not universally loved, in fact I’d say it was the exact opposite. There were a contingent of hard core fans who absolutely loved them, and still do because they can see right through the BS “just thugs” misdirection, and know the incredible skills they possess. Today they get a lot of the recognition they deserve, but it was not like this in the past. The Diaz brothers are the Rage Against the Machine of MMA.

The double knees, the suplex on Fedor, the knockout of Crocop, Sakuraba coming out dressed as Mario because the Japanese fans had started calling Kevin Donkey Kong because of the way he would leap in the air before his fights. A true icon. UFC champ and had the title taken off him in maybe the worst decision in MMA history. A truly interesting career deserving of the Hall
