    When Brett asked Nate, why Khamzat Chimaev, Nate was trying to explain that when he was an up and coming fighter, he had no desire to fight the legends of the sport at that time like BJ Penn, etc because he respected them but these modern day fighters take joy in knocking out or beating the legends of this new era like a Nate Diaz himself, or when Izzy beat Anderson Silva, or how Usman wanted to fight a retired GSP!

    I loved what Nate was saying about everyone else has been playing “champion” while he was thinking about the fight game from a different perspective. He’s essentially saying he’s now trying to play the “champion” game and wants a W on Saturday to make a good case for the next title fight. Even though he “claims” he wants to quit the UFC, I think his heart might be somewhere else.

The 28 year old doesn't have aging skin and old gash scars that can pop like a grape. Even old concussion damage from getting knocked around for 9 extra years.

He appears to bring it to the fight though. He appears to have honest dedication to himself and his followers.

    People can argue all day long about how technical his fighting is, how good his boxing is, how smart he is, etc. etc. But nobody can argue that Nate isn't a God damned gladiator with as much heart and will and determination as any other fighter we've ever seen... and I hope he isn't putting too much pressure on himself for this fight because, regardless of the outcome, he's already cemented himself as an absolute LEGEND of the sport.

      Some of us have watched his career since The Ultimate Fighter and aren't arguing any of that. Speaking for myself, I just hope that he gives a good representation of himself Saturday night so that he can start the phase of his career on a high note even if he decides to leave the UFC.

      Hi, if you are not saved, and would like to be included in the rapture of the church. Believe that Jesus's death on the cross, was enough to pay for ALL your sins , yes ALL ,(past, present and future) That is what the Gospel is about. We are saved by GOD'S amazing grace, through our faith in Jesus's sinless life, death on the cross and resurrection 3 days later . No additional works needed. It is literally that simple. Ephesians 2:8-9 Romans 10:9-10 Romans 4:5
