Nick Diaz the only man to lay down for Silva that wasn't scared or knocked out.
I mean it would have been way more ballsy and productive to just throw a jab. What danger is he in by laying down? Is Silva know for his top game or GnP? No. Did Nick do that against GSP a guy who is? No. Laying down is a submissive act in the animal kingdom, I saw Nick laying down as him saying "I know I can't do anything to this guy" bitchasss mid as well have kneeled down and tapped out.
No
@@Faustino96 Your first and only comment on this channel was so thought provoking and inspiring. Truly amazing.
And he’s a stoner
Sounded kinda gay but I see your point
I like how Nick was goading Anderson and John had him come forward, and Nick was like “what about him?” 😂 Such a memorable fight!
Ratio + Is my music better than nba youngboys be honest
@@xanmancan ight
Bro we saw the same video stop describing what we saw like ngga wtf
@@victorlacapella3256 bro most comments are like that , go cry somewhere else 😂
Yea Silva testing positive for anabolic steroids. Diaz testing positive for THC. Diaz robbed of purse and 5 year suspension.
I didn’t always like the Diaz brothers but eventually decided you can’t help but to like them. They are fighters to the core. Don’t care who you are they won’t be intimidated or disrespected.
I don't like them and never will. They complain about decisions not going their way when they get dominated, and insult and taunt when they can't get near their opponent.
@@sukhdevr3489 agreed. i remember when nick fought gsp he talked so much shit and then in the fight got dominated and tried two extremely late swings after the bell in the 1st and 3rd round. on top of that he made up some ridiculous conspiracy about being poisoned. nate isnt much better either when it comes to complaining about losing a decision. he definitely lost that rematch with conor and yet never let it go
@@kyle21843 another know it all keyboard warrior
@@TheIslandstyle11 And i guess you are not?
Silva left diaz purple and blue lol
Diaz brother’s cardio is insane. Nick’s last kick looked like he had even more energy than when the fight started. That’s what iron man training will do 👍
He is looser 😂😂
Nick treats every person he fights like they’re his kid brothers punk friend 🤣💪👊
Lmfao, true
Yo shut up ok
And then gets his ass beat.
@@MKIS_33 sure he took the L, but “ass beat” is a stretch
And after this, loss
You can't show this fight without showing the moment between Silva and Diaz afterwards. Silva emotional and Diaz consoling him really ended the night on an even higher note. Those are my favorite moments in this sport.
Fuck that Love Actually shit my favourite moments are when they get punched in the mouth.
@@artist6696 haha man that made me laugh. Treal tho
Fake as fck just like the not speaking English for years😅
@@artist6696 I love the irony in your comment.
@@artist6696 you heard it here first folks, artist likes it in the mouth
The first thing that comes to mind any time this fight is mentioned 0:56
Cringey that's why he'll never be seen as the goat of this sport
@@sameerjones4729 So you're saying if he didn't do that he would've been considered as the GOAT?
@@sameerjones4729 Nick is GOAT in peoples heart and mind, a peoples GOAT. Who gives a F what critics say.
Chick Diaz
Didn't look but I bet its the lay Down technique my fav.
For Nick to land combos like that on Anderson Silva was just awesome, really awesome. He had so many moments of literally beating Anderson at his own game. Let alone how he forced Anderson to fight far more proactively than he normally ever had. The idea the man was restricted from returning for years after being tested for weed right after a fantastic, memorable performance like this is just bizarre.
Especially in light of all of Silvas indiscretions
Worst Ban ever!
Barley Landed anything hence losing every round
Anderson had broken his leg in half like a year before or something. Nick was disrespectful to a man he could NEVER beat besides with a broken leg. Nick quit his last fight and gave up. He ain’t a G
@@MRIDDLE72 actual factual
Holy shit that upward elbow leg kick combo was fucking amazing
One of the greatest UFC fights of all time. 2 greats who had it all!
This was Silvas first fight back after the leg break. You can tell he just wanted to survive the fight without injury
If you go back through silvas fights he fought like this every time. He just didnt have many people bring the fight to him like nick, chael and weidman. He would try and bait fighters into rushing in and getting sloppy and then counter them with sharp strong punches.
I thought Silva's leg broke way after this
@@ItsNotShakespearenope, was first fight after Weidman 2 (they even mentioned this fight was 13 months after a possible career ending injury)
@@1IRoylehe’s always been gun shy and want to fight the counter game, but he definitely had some hesitancy. Maybe he was wary of Nicks grappling like he was Maia’s. Either way, prime Anderson was a scary beast. That leg break ruined him.
He wanted to do more than that. He juiced and was caught for it. This fight was officially a no decision.
0:56 My favorite moment from Nick! He’s a legend
Nick Diaz is funny asf

Love Nick. So pleased I got to watch his fights in real time.
Mr Silva has always been one of my favorites! Mr Diaz now joins that list...!
Diaz was so entertaining to watch sad how things turned out😢
Nick Diaz is actually a racist hope you know that before you start supporting him.
@@sameerjones4729 how's he a racist?
@@sameerjones4729 ok Sameer Jones
@UCZk0WgLeWPrOKCw-I2nTVTA I think he's a troll assuming from his comments on the ufc channel
💀💀💀
Two legends collide.
I love Nick diaz hes my all time favourite fighter.
I'm sorry for that.
@@Shiftlinkage101 hmm…well who’s your favorite fighter then? I get a strong Tito Ortiz vibe from you tbh…
@@supercooper19xx it’s Tito’s alt
Love and respect to both legends 🗿❤️🔥
Assistir as lutas de Nick Dias sempre valem a pena, entretenimento puro!!!
Oh, Anderson, you're the best 😍
Honestly the first round was so amazing, as the fight were on you slowly got to see that Anderson was either going to catch him messing up or he was going to Coast to a pretty unanimous victory. Going in though I was very optimistic that Nick had a great chance because the Diaz brothers have that pressure boxing jiu jitsu style they're like a wild card, like a lyoto machida or a Demian maia. You can never count certain guys out. My anticipation for this fight was probably greater than my excitement during the fight. It was a little disappointing but still a fun fight
The fact they even fought each other is amazing 🔥🔥🔥
A fight where I wish that I would have seen it live
It was a horrible fight.
I’ve always wanted to see the full fight. I hope they post it at some point
They already did bruh
it’s up already
@@langtryvlogme where
It was pretty boring.
Man I love NICK NDA 💯
This was a classic
Nick Diaz and Anderson most exciting fighters in UFC history, huuuuuuuuge respect…👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
Luta histórica Assisti ao vivo emoção demais
@@kurosawarukasu 🤣
Two legends of the sport, for sure.
You gotta love nick man . He fought every man he stepped in that ring with even Silva and never backed an inch
He literally backs up from a what he thought would be a punch at 1:07
@@returnalnocturnal7729 u trippin
Win or lose, always put on a show 🔥
A shit show.
Fuckin love the Diaz brothers
if nick was more serious he could of won his pressure was getting rewarded at times and his pace would of slowed down silva plus his ground game was good enough to avoid those sneaky last minute triangle holds like the one that caught sonnen
Who asked + Is my music better than nba youngboys be honest
@@xanmancan That shit is hot ass.
Dude Silva was on roids no shot
Ditto. Watched this live and it was so frustrating to watch diaz waste so much time acting hard. Both diaz brothers have the same problem. Just watch the Leon fight or most any of their fights.
@@xanmancan you’re a weirdo
Can't believe this fight was so long ago. Seems like it was last year. Wish they fought when both were in their prime.
No one talks about how anticlimactic this fight was,silva just waits for clean opportunities nick jokes around.Only thing that makes this fight remembered by fans is these two legends finally facing of in my eyes this is same with maia vs woodley or dada vs kimbo
Maia vs Woodley was one of the worst fights I’d ever seen. Wayyyy worse than this one imo
tell my why this fight was anticlimactic? They just respect each other skills. When you fight andersoin you cant just rush him because he can KO you with everything, with nick you cant go toe to toe cause his cardio was infinite and when he feel you'r slow down he will go hard and end you
@@PlayPayMakersPL facts
Yup this fight sucked
Tem que respeita o veiao aí já lutou muito aí é lenda relequia Anderson o melhor lutador do UFC
Anderson's moves are out of this World .
Legends
Pra mim, o Anderson Silva foi o melhor lutador de todos os tempos.
Lol always juiced a cheater nothing else
no doubt, mr gonçalves
juiced up.
He was on steroids lol
AWESOME CONTENT
Dá época que o UFC só tinha lutador foda
Eu acho nick diaz um lutador top! Qualquer descuido ali era lona pro spider. Bela luta!
Esse é Anderson Silva: Lutador completo!
Eles eram mui amigos , isso faz parte do show. Vejo que o Silva respeitou muito .
The good old days when Nick Diaz was fighting at 1.5x speed.
Lenda brasileira 🇧🇷🇧🇷🇧🇷
Vai tirar onda. O veterano ainda pega pesado. Wanderson Silva sempre será referência e reverenciado.
Its hard to see fights like these nowadays, Wana se more fights of generel Nick diaz army👊
Esse camarada é um dos melhores que já vi Anderson Silva
Toda vez que eu assisto essa luta eu passo a hora toda rindo esse Nick Diaz é uma piada uma comédia 😁😂
Most fighters: "I won't lay down for anybody!" Nick Diaz: 0:56
then nick was beaten
Anderson Silva, o melhor do mundo 🎉
Eu acho o irmão Diaz foda nessa luta eu conheci o Nick e nunca mais esqueci desse cara kkkkkk ele é foda.
Love him or hate him, Anderson is the one.
The one on roids
@@Egdodgers - yeah, I know. It's a shame. Still an amazing fighter though. Kinda like the Diaz bros. High as fuck 98% of the time but, who gives a shit? They still can bang.
0:57 one of the greatest moments in mma history 🥶
Not really dude thinks he's undertaker coming back from the dead or some shit not funny or entertaining just cringey and arrogant
@@sameerjones4729 hes just being nick diaz hes not trying to be anyone else lmao and how is that cringy
@@sameerjones4729 i stole your dog
@@sameerjones4729 he was trying to be anderson. And show how he felt. It was hilarious and true and accurate. And you missed the entire point.
@@sameerjones4729 I think you're just mad, half the comments are about this legendary taunt. Don't be so soft, its combat sports. Also, shit was funny as hell.
So surreal this fight for a number of reasons
One of my favorite fights :-)
Anderson como sempre melhor.
Vdd o maior lutador
nick pelea con anderson tras 5 años fuera y aguanta la pelea completa y lo hace bien despues vemos otros peleadores en activo que no para mi nick debio haber tenido el cinturon en algun momento de su carrera en ufc porque ha estado siempre ahi
We still love Nick!!!
I can't find stuff on the UFC app with fight pass so I come to KZhead to watch.
I was watching this live on paper view wow just re watching this takes me back when times were good😢😅❤
Nick was undersized and still held his own. Dude’s a legend
Not as much undersized
Legend of mediocrity.
He didn’t look as tall time huh
@@noahvannote417 I mean didn’t Silva test positive for steroids after and Diaz only tested positive for weed
Dude are you blind? He out weighs him by at least 15 pounds here’s probably more. Also Silva has competed at 205 before and Diaz has competed at 155.
whose here after dillion dani’s vs paul
AWESOME GAME PLAYING
That elbow by Silva, AMAZING
Prime Nick Diaz is one of the best to ever do it
Yes, but this was already when he had been out for a while.
Anderson Silva era magnífico 🙌🏻
on steroid
@@canallancearmstrong3620 errado não tá, de 93 pra cá, pós UFC 1, tem uma galerinha tem o cartel melhor que o dele, e não e tão lembrando assim como o Anderson Silva, o spider foi bom, agora coloca ele como o melhor, ou top 5, a pessoa tem que sair um pouco da matrix, anderson silva ao meu ver. Pós ufc 1, ao meu ver não entra nem em top 10 dos melhores de 93 pra cá.
@@redpillenecessaria4097 10 anos com cinturão não é nada né kkkkk blz "especialista"
He was on steroids lol
Nicholas and Nathan are legends
i used to manage a hotel in hollywood, and Nick came in one nite. . he's so different from what he portrays on tv. Super nice guy
Ninguém luta como ANDERSON SILVA..!!!
Diaz é mais provocador de todos os tempos kk
This was an epic day
O Anderson luta demais
Triste fim que Anderson e Nick Diaz tiveram, más não muda o fato deles serem lendas
Qual fim cada uma kkkkk
Que fim seu maluco?
Nick lutou como nunca e apanhou como sempre 🤣kkk 🇧🇷
Dois grandes lutadores
Legend
Silva's still one of the GOAT for all the right reasons. Moves like a panther and arguably some of the most accurate striking ever.
Yea roids do that
Anderson moves like the Praying Mantis in my eye's. His lunges are just as graceful, his legs flow like they have wings. So inspiring you want to go out and get in shape oneself. God Bless him.
Roids?
@@carlosleila2799 Rosh Hashanah (the snakes heads slam together), uh?
2 legends
Dude nicks boxing at that time was fucking awesome fr I keep replaying it and replaying it so see how the guy does it so cripsy and loose. But at the same time very brawler. He also had some beautiful leg kicks he never was a kicker much but when he did he threw them well and timed them well
How come nobody here in the comments talking Anderson Silva?! Beast
We need this Nick to come back. He was something else...
Too much water underneath the bridge unfortunately
Ótima luta
Feras!!! 👏👏👏
I like how Anderson didn't even try to take advantage of Nick when Nick was clowning around...he was vulnerable in some moments, and Anderson could hit him very easily, but didn't
Nick fought Robbie with no training. He didn’t want that rushed fight. So they agreed to 185 And to let his friend debut
And to let his friend debut? Wtf are you talking about
@@hulkman245 his friend debuted on the same card. Look up what happened
God I miss the Nick Diaz days. I remember being a fresh MMA fan and watching the build-up and fight between Frank Shamrock and Nick Diaz... man those were the days😮
epic fight
*Only one things pop out in my mind about this fight* 0:56 🥶
NICK DIAZ 🤯🤑 mafia of MMA 🥋🥊 legendary fight 🤩🥳
Gosto demais do nick, unico lutador que sigo, o homem parece filosofia de vida contando com a historia dele.
Here for the comments from the Diaz nuthuggers. Was not disappointed.
Nick Diaz was literally Spamming the taunt button
I love Anderson. It’s too bad they didn’t meet up back when Anderson was at his prime. He would’ve made Nick look worthless
love both
tu é merecedor mesmo
I hope people appreciate how good GSP was. Totally dominated Diaz. It would have been epic to see how a GSP vs Silva fight would have played out.
When I seen this fight 4 the 1st time, I was expecting a knock out from someone but apparently this never happened...
Legends!
