It’s a shame that most MMA fans don’t know about Nick Diaz’s 11 fight win streak. Dude was different in his prime.
Yeah he was very good

One of, if not, the best 1 round fights in MMA history.
I dont like rigged sports and matches like this one mma is clearly trying to push a racist agenda by making the black man lose
@@sameerjones4729 are you sped? Please go and rethink what you just said
Um, what? We got four black UFC champions, three of them in the top 5 pound for pound rankings. How is MMA rigged?

One of the craziest rounds. Strikforce had some killer fights before the UFC devoured them.
Hah so true. Big fan btdubz. 👊🏼💥
Same with WEC and Pride
@@StallionFernando yeah but strike force tops them both in my opinion
True Dat. Wec as well
@@italianstalian331 True especially becasue Pride was staging some of the fights
Regardless of his last fight, he's still a LEGEND in my eyes and always will be!!
Because youre racist diaz has the mma in his pockets and rigged this fight.
Wdym regardless like it was terrible? Man was swinging none stop
6 years out he looked incredible. And he obviously wasn't training the right way. Landed over 200 strikes and threw 330 strikes in 3 rounds. That's insane. He was gassed tf out lol
@@sameerjones4729 You're not very good at this
You and uncountable Millions of world-wide fight fans Lukas.
ill never forget this era. this was the time where strikerforce cards were more anticipated than ufc cards.
100%
Strikeforce was awesome
Strickforce and Wec damn!!!!! fire
It was amazing. It was so good that they got on primetime CBS for the Nashville card, which ended up being maybe the most disastrous major MMA event of all time. I watched it at a bar in college and there were quite a few people there who had never seen MMA before, and came away thinking it was the dumbest sport they had ever had the misfortune to be subjected to. In no small part thanks to Lawal, Aoki, and Shields putting together three of the most legendary snoozefests in MMA history.
Peak mma
Big John is the goat of reffing. Knows the difference between hurt and out
This war between these two certified legends is a masterpiece for fight fans. Full throttle from start to finish. Legendary fight.
Paul Daley is not a legend not at all. Diaz tho for sure one of the best welterweights of all time
@@davidgutierrez4606you don't know shit Daley is one of most prolific punchers in MMA history

The greatest one round fight ever. Nick Diaz is the true BMF. One of the greatest welterweights to ever do it.
Am I to assume you never saw Arlovski vs Browne or Nunes vs Cyborg?
@@imcnblu Na this one is still better
I actually have and this fight was much better.
@@imcnbluyou do realize more than one thing can be great right
This or kongo vs barry. And don't leave out rose vs weili 1
This is the absolute best fight to never leave the first round. Action, every single second.
I agree best 1 rounder ever.🏆
Arlovski vs Browne
Best 1 round fight ever!
In my opinion, Arlovski vs Browne and Nunes vs Cyborg blow this fight out of the water.
Frye vs Takayama
TONS of people hear Nate talk and others speak on Nick and don’t realize how big and how important he was in MMA. Legendary fighter.
Still one of if not the best first round fights ever. It doesnt get old
“Daley..FALLING, HE’S IN TROUBLE” that line is absolutely iconic
“DIAZ, GOING IN FOR THE KIIIIILL”

The way Nick fought here is legendary. He easily could have grappled him and choked him, but he walked through fire and put out someone who throws BOMBS. Most entertaining fighter ever.
Literally nobody does that to daley
Diaz put a hole in dudes stomach
No, the reason why he and his brother stand so much is because they have really bad wrestling. Those guys prefer the mat believe or not.
@@Herc11355 both have great grappling!
@@abhijitbhattacharjee7138 Yes
Diaz was unstoppable in his prime . Had some 11 or 12 fight win streak and was just sooo fun to watch . Forever a fan!
Had to revisit this classic after Daley’s retirement today. Things should’ve worked about better for him but by no means should he be disappointed with the legacy he’s left including this masterpiece and riding off to the sunset in perfect fashion in his hometown. Enjoy retirement, Semtex, you deserve it!
Yes go Paul absolute legend of the game
Semtex is a beast thus video basically shows how good he was hurting prime diaz multiple times. 209

Longest round in fighting history. I remember seeing this live by myself. I went crazy. I thought about that fight for years.
13 years later to the day and this still remains one of the all time great fights.
The UFC did this man so dirty.. You're forever a legend and a champ in my eyes nick!!
this!
How did the ufc do him dirty ? He couldn't pass drug tests. That's literally his own fault. It's also not the ufc who handles the suspensions for drug test... You people have no self accountability what so ever.

@@williamcelender9509 facts
@@williamcelender9509 he said single round as in single round fight, Hagler and Hearns went 3 rounds.
"Don't be scared homie." I played Nick's words through my head many times going through stuff in my younger years. Nick has had a major influence on my life just through that simple phrase.
4:00 that's the hardest ive ever seen Diaz hit... Nick was a complete beast during these times, what a awesome match by both guys.
Bro Paul Daley has one of the best if not the best left hook in mma history nick taking that shot and then coming back to win by Ko was iconic😂
Looked like a peirera left💀
I hope that the UFC continues to upload classics like Cruz v Faber 1 from WEC. It would really show us how hard these legends worked to obtain their status.
That fight was really quick. Maybe upload Sonnen ragdolling Baker or some Condit or Cerrone fights.
Amen
One of my favorite fights of all time. I will never forget Nick Diaz’s strikeforce reign. 🖕🏻
Phew, almost missed my daily rewatch of his. Favorite MMA fight ever. 5 rounds of insane action packed into one.
The pace of this fight was insane
Nick saying “Smile bitch” during the face off is one of my favorite Diaz moment
Sickest fight, i remember watching this going crazy.

this is by far one of the greatest fights ive ever seen in mma in all the years ive watched the sport like this fight was a true fight. any new fans if you dont know by now there wasnt a way to watch the fight anywhere on youtube so this video is a pure blessing
Love that post fight respect. . . It's a war it's hard not to respect someone taking everything you've got and still walking forward.
Man such a great entertaining fight. Nick's punch combos were so devastating, Daley had no idea what was coming at him with the mix of head and body shots. That right hook was so sneaky, it's like Daley's body knew it was rocked but his head was on a 2 second delay before he toppled over
Nick Diaz = Legend Forever 🐐
Diaz is beyond a fighter... Beyond legend.. the best we ever got to see... But people don't appreciate him much... That's sad reality
The embodiment of samurai warrior
Those who know do
When the announcer yells "WOooooW Diaz has made history"!!! Still sends chills down my spine every time I hear it.
Watching this instead of UFC Fight Night, such a great win for Nick.
This fight is one of my favorites! Very entertaining and the crowd is so alive!
Nick Diaz immortalized forever! Props to Paul Daley for putting up an epic fight!
Man I'll always love Nick. He could put an ass whipping on like this and not even be a little tired, what a legend.
strikeforce on Showtime was the best!! No commercials and awesome fights . one after the next
Such an iconic face for a staredown. LEGEND.
Frr
Especially when Nick was mouthing "bring it bitch" I will forever remember the hype going into this fight

Nick Diaz is a true fighter. Never in a boring fight. Gets dropped brutally and still knocks the opponent out to win a title.
One of the greatest rounds of fighting and greatest fights of all time.
My favorite fighter when i was growing up. It sucks so bad that we missed out on 5 years of prime Nick Diaz fights.
One of my favorite fights to watch growing up. The comeback was real. Both Nick and Semtex put on a show.
The pace that these 2 fought at was insane, but Diaz is a triathlete and its no wonder Daley couldnt keep up, the way he flopped to the canvas still makes me laugh 🤣 great fight though
Nothing to do with being a traithlete....GSP ain't a traithlete but he beat the hell out of Nick haha
@@vasisphu3239 it actually does. Gsp didnt fight nick like this or he would gas out. GSP's creativity and fight IQ by slowing the pace of the fight and land select shots is why he won the fight
Diaz takes that hook at 1:25 like its nothing... What a G
That's why he's one of the best ever. He has a great style and he's tall enough to have a good reach. Such a unique athlete
I miss this Nick :(
We were robbed of this nick. For fucking weed.

The Diaz Brothers are 2 of the best fighters to watch. Never a dull fight
Great fight. One of the GREATEST ROUNDS in MMA fighting PERIOD- any sanctioning body. Nick Diaz is one of the stars of the sport as he is a well balanced fighter without any weak areas in his skill set. World class and I stress the word CLASS because Nick has it. Love & respect to The Diaz Brothers !!! Nick & Nate y’all are our favorite fighters in this household and we are huge fans. ✌️🌲
One of my ALL TIME favorite fights in the history if combat sports
The best 1st round in MMA history. Nick Diaz Army, forever!
Absolutely nuts how a talented , iron chined warrior like Nick missed out on so many amazing fights that would have set him up so strong financially . Watching Nick’s hands go to work, shit talking buddy while ripping the body and reigning on him upstairs was star entertainment Really wish we saw more of Nick in his prime. Respect due to Nick for never selling out. Too many frauds out there today and his was a real fighter and authentic person.
And what did he gain beside respect on youtube from you, it is be eaten or eat
To be fair, though, I don't know if any of the fighters from this era made lifetime money kinda payouts. UFC used them all up. Only recently have the purses started to get real.
@@hhiippiittyy mos definitely but still would have been worth the exposure to investment opportunities by being an active fighter. Just having some money to make money, then doing autograph signings, running his Nick Diaz Academy and getting paid to show up at a club to get drunk. But honestly knowing Nick he would have needed some good advisors to make smart investments. Nate definitely took the lead on how to market himself earn some big money especially with the two Mcgregor fights and promote his brother. Just imagine if Nick got a chance to fight Mcgregor too.
His fault
That last bam bam on their feet... they both ROCK each other... Simply amazing ONE Round. Legend stuff
Nick never threw with knockout intent but that right hook that finished Daley was vicious & Daley definitely never saw it coming. The power all came from the placement & flowing with his punches so well. The body work laid the foundation for that finish though, incredible work!
Even 10 years later, this is still on a lot of top 10 fights/rounds of all time lists.
Classic Nick Diaz. It really is a shame that he basically had a huge part of his career stolen from him.
I feel sad for that
Agreed. Absolute BS.
DUDE FOR WEED! IMAGINE!! dillashaw the best bantamweight on peds for years and a slap on the wrist! Nick Diaz on his way to be the underdog best welterweight ever and suspended for WEED!
Stolen ? He signed a contract and couldn't pass the drug tests multiple times. Nothing was stolen from him
@@MichaelAMyers1957 You get no bitches
Nick Diaz is amazing. Never in a bad fight. Never out of the fight.
All Nick Diaz fights are epic , but there is not enough words to describe this one!
Nick was something special. To put this win into perspective: remember how Stipe grappled Ngannou to a win cos Ngannou had crazy power? Well, Nick could've done that too vs Daley but he wanted to show Daley he could beat him on the feet. Crazy.
Good analogy
He combined clinch work it looks like
He did the exact same thing against Robbie lawler when they first fought. Everyone said he was the ground guy and Robbie was the power. Nick ended up KOing him to. Prime Nick was a real BMF not like that fake Masivdal who sucker punches Covington. If Nick had a problem with a fighter, no matter where you were he always made himself seen and what was going to go down.
Daley had a good k.os but he was no monster like Francis , I get what your trying to say tho
I don't think this is the best analogy. Nick never had the kind of wrestling to engage in the kind of fight you're talking about
Diaz was a beast in Strikeforce ,longest reigning Welterweight champ 👑🔥
What a great 4 minutes. Never a slow fight when either Diaz Brothers are in the ring. The Stockton Diaz Bro's "G'd up from the feet up".
Diaz brothers are legends in the sport. Love their heart for fighting
What a TREASURE of a fight this was 💯
Nick was a different kind of savage in Strikeforce. Highly recommend if you have UFC fight pass to watch his fights when he was in that organization. Most of them are classics
this fight never gets old
