Modern fans really have no clue how good BJ was and how good Nick was. Two absolute legends. BJ fought anyone didn’t matter the weight and if he was motivated in shape he was extremely hard to handle. Good striking and his ground game was unbelievable. Nick was a cardio machine with unbelievable pressure and was always pressing talking to you and also crazy ground game. Also a guy who would fight anyone at 70&85. BJ was a natural 155 but was forced to fight at 70 and even fought Machida when he was at light heavy.
@@Gematrinator you have no clue what you’re talking about at all. I’m assuming you’re under 30 if so you’re opinion is totally irrelevant and dumb. These guys today aren’t even that good. GSP was from that same era and he’d dominate today if he was that same age. Stop you sound goofy as hell
@@Gematrinator Yeah, but people always, always seem to forget: Nick and BJ and whoever else, would have the same knowledge, the same techniques and approaches, that have come about since their time. So given their talent, skill and hard work, it's very easy to see them applying the same newer parts of the game now as anyone else.
I’ve ran into two celebrities in my life. One being bizzy bone from bone thugs n harmony, and the other being Nick Diaz. Met him after a deftones concert. So surreal.
He was pissed Dana and George are trying to paint him as "the worst human being ever" like he's just a sorry POS bully and like he hasn't been going through hell and putting the work in his whole life
He was almost crying because he and Penn were friends (before the fight). He didn't want to fight Bj Penn because they were friends and stuff. But bj penn, besides signing the contract first, still invented lies and talked shit about him, so he agreed to fight. so much so that when the fight ended and he went after the trainer and the camera he kept saying ''I didn't want this shit''. In addition to the fact that the UFC tried to paint an image that was not Nick Diaz, they tried to paint the guy as a bully since he was a guy who liked to fight and had several internal problems linked to depression (due to the death of his ex-girlfriend)
@Ян Yea. It's wierd to see him and Nate with such a strong persecution complex. I've literally had Nate tell me to my face that he hasn't lost any decisions, and that he always gets fucked over by "The UFC judges" I mean, he said those exact words. These guys definitely feel they were conspired against
@@floatinggoose9197 they may have been conspired against..a lot of weird things happen when those 2 guys are involved. I understand they may be difficult to “work” with but that shouldn’t stop them from fighting. Cowboy’s final UFC fight was against who??? Nate’s possible final fight in the UFC shouldn’t be against a (very soon to be) future champion. If Nate wins he’s not gonna get a title shot next fight but Khamzat DEFINITELY will. Nick’s suspension was a pretty obvious case of the “good guys” taking the opportunity to use a Diaz brother as an “example”.
Nick will always be a legend but its really sad what USADA/UFC did to him. They tried to make an example out of him and ruined his career. Imagine if that suspension was 6 months. They stole a lot from him and us Nick Diaz army fans.
@@dimitripapadopoulos3196 for a good while, all he knew is that he was suspended for 5 years for weed. Nick was already struggling, he was just done. He mentally checked out of the sport and I don't blame him. The USADA ban was the last straw.
It honestly wouldn't of mattered Nick was done after Silva. Done. He had NOTHING left to give and nobody else to fight so shut up stop saying that narrative
He’d be terrifying because his boxing may not be great but that chin combined with a ridiculous pace and better jiu jitsu than Nate adds up to a deadly combo
@@wreckitrigo230 he’s open to counters but offensively he has good boxing he’s insanely accurate at times and when he gets guys up against the cage he peices them up with accurate shots to the face and stomach I don’t think he has good boxing skills for a pro boxer or anything but mma terms he has good boxing
I can't believe I just found out that soundclip in the intro of Rogan's podcast came from a this interview after this fight, never heard the interviews
Will always remember this fight...have been a fan of the both these guys since the early UFC days and it was hard to watch BJ get beat up but on the other hand I was happy that Diaz won the fight
In a way he is right - Reaching one’s potential is always a battle every day whether he was champion or when he was 33, either way he still believes he’s got more to go
@@deoRei sadly bj never won a fight after saying that.. Was in 8 fight losing streak in 3 weight class . Before getting cut from UFC after getting koed in a bar fight by a fat guy..
Penn, his last fight in the UFC, man was that sad. But Diaz's style is similar to the new UFC fighting styles or universal, and he didnt look too bad against Lawler. I didnt like Penn back then but I didnt know any better.
The problem was reach advantage, conditions, height, it was a bad match up, before the fight ever begin. But both them guys are legend and one of the greatest of all time.
You can always tell when a UFC fight took place based on how much hair Joe Rogan still has
lmao
& Dana's bloating.
Roidiocarbon dating I like to call it.
The gladiator intro says it all😎
@@merkins87 Yeah...definitely an easier, more accurate scale to use with Dana's Bloating.
He had a Afro when ken shamrock fought Gracie 😂😂
The fact that they started the third round in the middle of the ring 🔥🔥💪
Legendary shit...
Man you could just tell that first body shot from BJ was solid lmao, tough way to start the 3rd round one whole second in for diaz 😂
Lol

For that time? Sure. Nowadays anyone in the top 10 would beat either prime or not, the games just evolved alot.

A PRIME BJ PENN would be Champion rn at 155

Funny.. I ran into diaz at one of my gigs in lodi. Pretty cool dude.
@@friedpickles342 'WE'RE IN FUCKING LODI BITCH!'

Why am I not surprised Nick Diaz likes deftones
@@Goldchaingarcia he used to walk out to them bro
"The only thing he's not gonna beat Diaz in is a race down to the 7-Eleven" LMFAOOOO
Nick almost cries at the very end. Deep down he feels bullied. Deep emotions there
He and his broher both. They're paranoid af.
How long you been a psychologist?

IKR
13:24 The coach told BJ to take him down but he suffered the curse of Andy Wang.
Andy Wang? Haven’t heard of that guy in a while. All I know is, when I think of him, I don’t think he’s a punk, but a fuckin warrior.

Please upload more oldschool Nick & Nate Diaz episodes 2 of the realist gangsters to ever do it
I like how the ref started the last round close like BKFC. They should bring that back.
This fight is one of my favorite fight of all time
Top 10
Thank you for doing these. I started watching regularly in 2015 and these videos allow me experience it, almost as if I was watching at the time.
damn John Morgan and Brett Okamoto have been around for longer than I thought.
Didn’t realize how long bretts been in the game damn. Respect
Nick's boxing was so pretty man
Second half of round 2 is legendary
One of my favorite fights of NICK DIAZ🔥🔥 this nick would whoop everybody right now!
Larone has helped us all during this pandemic. God Bless You Larone 🙌🏻
Thank u for uploading this. Especially the older stuff. Greetings from Germany, mate.
I forgot how good of a voice Mike Goldberg had, but how bad he was at knowing what he was talking about 😄
Whatever do you mean? "That Stockton Slap does a ton of damage!" Hahaha.
Prime BJ Penn is the lightweight GOAT
Khabib is a nba player
diaz knocked him down 2nd round when he was active, penn knocked him down 3 round when he's inactive? damn the diaz is amazing
Penn fought Lyoto Machida, Nick Diaz and many more fighters that out weight him
@@luis112 Bj penn fought from Feather weight to Light heavyweight and won the UFC LW & WW Championships
Diaz says wait hold my beer.
Larone the goat, sheep, horse, chicken, duck,. This guy does it all! Praise to you and the channel!
I can't believe I just found out that soundclip in the intro of Rogan's podcast came from a this interview after this fight, never heard the interviews
One of those classic matchups
I hope Nick sticks to his word and makes a comeback W
did he say that?
He shouldn’t fight again
Do you guys not watch? He fought lawyer again and lost. He’s still great though. That’s a hard comeback to make.
Dana White hating on Nick Diaz because Nick doesn't want to be owned/controlled by Dana White. It's that simple.
They selling you guys wolf tickets, and ya'll eating em right up
Larone knows exactly what fight mans wanna see. Just good quality work!
It's finally dawned on me that Nick NEVER loved fighting- he did it out of love. To take care of his loved ones.
💯
I subscribed. I have been watching these videos for a while now and thought I was subscribed this whole time!
It's a shame this fight didn't spawn a trilogy. Both these guys are epic.
Penn was a punching bag at this point
seeing all the og reporters is lit
John Morgan stay getting the first questions in
I love these vids specially the Diaz brothers
Will always remember this fight...have been a fan of the both these guys since the early UFC days and it was hard to watch BJ get beat up but on the other hand I was happy that Diaz won the fight
Diaz beating the shit out of Penn was the beginning of the end.
Doing God's work, Larone.
You’re a beast, Larone. Ty.
LARONE!!! Thank you for the content man! Throw some ads on there and make some money man! No one would mind! Get yourself a little bag!
You the goat for this upload !!
Classic fight 💪 I remember this back then
This one of my favorite mma fights both fighters seem so complete both the striking and grappling were so entertaining
The best of times in MMA.
Two great BJJ guys. Both tough. Both great strikers.
Loving your shit man great editing and great clips u have !
Remember watching this live 🔥
@11:44
Pure beauty, and poetic moment.
Insane rolls from both.
Classic fight, got the original fight poster to this match up.
It’s so weird to see a young Brett Okomoto and John Morgan lol
Larone u the goat. If possible could u do Henderson/Pettis 2. Can't find tat fight anywhere
16:03 Iconic
He made this???
BJ was never the same after this fight. Wish we could have gotten to see it just a few yaers earlier but still great fight.
“I’ve never really reach my peak of my potential” ~ BJ penn after being champ and losing the belt at 33. 🙄🥴👍OHkay
In a way he is right - Reaching one’s potential is always a battle every day whether he was champion or when he was 33, either way he still believes he’s got more to go
@@deoRei sadly bj never won a fight after saying that.. Was in 8 fight losing streak in 3 weight class . Before getting cut from UFC after getting koed in a bar fight by a fat guy..

Legends !
Penn, his last fight in the UFC, man was that sad. But Diaz's style is similar to the new UFC fighting styles or universal, and he didnt look too bad against Lawler. I didnt like Penn back then but I didnt know any better.
Bj Penn is the most rawest ever, only fighter besides myself to slap ourselves over victory & toast to a taste of sensation to some glove blood💯🦾🖤
Can you do some wec best moments or even cruz vs johnson?
Daym Brett okomoto was active back in the day.
Nick Diaz straight up LEGEND.
John Morgan hasn't changed for decades
Said it once, say it again, Larone the Goat
Look at Dana being a little gossip girl at the post fight press conference. Such a melodramatic delivery acting all somber. He knows what he's doing
Anybody but BJ goes down. Wilts under that relentless pressure.
How Nick does it is beyond me. Just keeps coming.
Im not sure anyone goes to the body as good as the Diaz bros.
Not so much Nate
Holy 💩 Nick Diaz has hands. Both of those guys were so good.
What a classic

Matt Hughes, funny guy buddy
Just realized that this is where he got the intro to the podcast lol
Prime BJ Penn was effing scary. Those one leged uppercuts in the clinch.
BJs ego is so big he doesn't listen to anything Parillo calls for in the fight
Probably first time 'the prodigy' could not buy his way out of a bad situation.

diaz knocked him down 2nd round when he was active, penn knocked him down 3 round when he's inactive? damn the diaz is amazing
What??
That infamous Joe Rogan Experience intro is what made the whole video
Sad to see Matt Hughes in an old video now, he was so sharp and charismatic. What a tragedy 🙏🏼
It's sad what happened to him but being so disrespectful to nick really got on my nerves,glad nick shut him up
