When Dustin punked out of the contract to fight Nate notice how NO ONE so much as used twitter to call out Nate.
UFC destroyed this guy
Does anyone know the name and model of shoes that has nate diaz in this interview?
Thanks
Nate pretty pretty please do Joe Rogans Podcast!!! You and Nick together would be epic.
Only Nate Diaz Can Wear Nike With Adidas
35:22 "I feel like I'm just better and cooler than those guys. The hell do I wanna fight them for? …Pettis is cooler than both of them."
Highlight of the whole interview
14:03
Nate: Ok, I see whats happening, you're degrading my whole si..
Brett: But, how do they do that?
Nate: YEAH!
hahahha 😀
I love this guy. A true fighter, he fights anyone and anytime. UFC should treat him well because he deserves it.
Best interview with Nate Diaz I'v ever heard. Most words that ever came out of his mouth in a row.
Great fighter but talks and acts like 13 yrs punk 😉
Punch drunk
This is one of his best interviews ever
being a huge basketball fan more and a new mma fan, he reminds me of Allen Iverson. He's just very real and raw.
"First of all, Im a G, Imma go fight this guy real quick…" lol
nasty nate is in your area
" The machine fed that motherfucker to the world "
– Nate Diaz
who else reckons the interviewer has a high school girl crush on Nate?
"if me and you are supposed to meet for training, to train tomorrow for Jui Jitsu, or boxing, or MMA or whatever, we have an appointment. We're going tomorrow at 7pm and we're going to train. And if you have a stomach ache, or a toothache or something ain't right, or your girlfriend is mad and you don't make it to 7 o'clock. You lost dude! You cant make it! You can't cut it! Straight up. That's a L." – Nate Diaz Golden quote
this fake wannabe gangster, 11 losses what a clown
everytime he says "you know what i'm sayin"
take a hit
Love both Diaz brothers. They always are down to fight..they always put on a show and love their respect and humbleness after a win or a loss. I'm such a Masvidal fan too. Can't wait to see them scrap.
Why does Nate just do it with Woodley for fucks sake
A Diaz GSP Khabib McGregor 4 man tourney sounds awesome 🔥🔥💯💯😆😆
Woodley and Nate sounds…… interesting
“Hold up I gotta go to the bathroom” “I feel like I’m cooler and better” Diaz is awesome 🔥🔥💯💯🗣🗣
“Lost cool points in my book”
BTW I’d love to see Khabib Nate or Tony Nate
gReaT !
👊🏼😜👍🏼
Irrespectfull
Brett Okamoto is a staged rich kid. He was born rich…. Still like him better than Ariel, though
Okamoto is the best interviewer on the scene hands down.
Nate goes to bathroom takes a quick hit of mota
13:09 he’s talking to us they switch the camera lol they don’t like him but they need him he’s to real what a fucking ganster
I respect the man but jus don't understand everything he says. To be honest nothing against him he hard working he great but just don't understand the man but just can't hear it clearly it's all good but just wish I understood what he saying better is all no negative things to say but sure y'all understand. Y'all is country but is what is. But I jus don't. But would love to hear it from from personally but he is a dog just a dog fighter just mean jus a dog he gets it when it's time. Anytime when he's a dog I get it … But just can't understand the man. N that all not everything off course jus from time to time. It's unclear to me n that's all
Nate doesn't play the hype game he communicates with his fists. One of the few genuine UFC fighters out there.
I'm going to answer for you CARNAL what motivates you…
1 MONEY
2 THE FIGHTER
3 RESPECT
Just like any other human being on this planet…. give the guy more money man come on…😊
BMF
Hoooold uuuup
Shoot on me for saying this all you want but he does interviews just like pac, you have to drag it out of him but once he starts you just can’t stop listening to him! The realest guy in the UFC hands down
ESPN MMA like 400k suscribes although this interview got over million views , Dana white you suck lol
35:34– 36:18. The seed of Nate Diaz vs Jorge Masvidal was planted….
36:17 The moment Nathan Diaz knew he wanted to fight Masvidal for the BMF championship belt
14:40 – Nate is so right. The ufc basically out mcgregor in all the right places. Never had one fight in lightweight and got a title shot before khabib and tony and diaz and everyone else.
Nate diaz hate to talk… however, I am not surprised motherfucker 😁
the only respectable vegan on the planet.
Nates the definition of 0 fucks giving at all times
Best thing Okamoto has done so far
Nate real cool cat know what I'm sayin..
F'ck u how bout that 😆🤟
The biggest fight he's ever had is against the ufc
Yeah he has trouble talking in front of cameras but he's a genuine guy and a tuff m.fuka so who cares we want fighter's not sh!T talkers
I love Nate. A warrior and a good guy.
But he seems disturbed. I feel bad for him.
Hope he gets the trilogy fight and takes McGregors head off.
