@iverson25allen nick would beat nate down a bjj competition. nick has way more bjj credentials, has competed more, and he is a black belt, nate is a brown belt (not sure how many stripes)
prolly would, plus hes got the big brother thing going for him..lol, regardless, bothe are sick as fuck . Their BJJ translates so well into their MMA.
@905Justin oh, thats what i thought. so whats ur reasoning behind that? and are u speaking on one particular gracie camp or all of them? and do u follow mma? and if so, what league?
damn if Thomson had done that sweep at 6:08 about a half second sooner (while Nate was still moving) I think it coulda thrown Nate off balance completely and opened him up for a guillotine
@sleepingowl1 unless hes walking around 170 with a good amount fo muscle then cuts. alot fo ppl just diet and maintain there wait which in turn loses not onyl fat but also muscle.
nate was only a purple belt when this was filmed, but he got his brown belt after he submited alvin robinson, but he is as good as other black belts though, like when he submitted pellegrino..
I didn't even know Josh Thomson did grappling tournaments, he's mostly known for his kickboxing and wrestling. Anyways, it seems like Cesar Gracie's Academy and American Kickboxing Academy have a rivalry goin on. On one side you got the Diaz brothers, Melendez, and Shields, and on AKA you got Koscheck, Thomson, Fitch, Cung Le, and Swick
WAT! it looked like the other guy dominated nate teh whole time. If you're counting points by positions, i think it was about a tie. Not sure how Nate won, exactly...
I watched this match again and i saw that josh tired and did get reversed towards the end of the match, but i still don't think josh got points when he should have, because he went for gulliotine attempts that the ref did not count, maybe he had to hold them for three seconds for them to count i don't know? Still this match looked like a draw to me. You can't see the score and the ref does not indicate it. Nate works well from the bottom though and he had josh scrambling at the end, great match
i don't think you get points for submission attempts, all the tournaments i went to you get points for takedowns, sweeps, knee on belly, back control, mount
I agree with you. I watched the match twice and Josh won that fight. Granted, Nate was the aggressor, but Josh does what he does in MMA. He jumps in and then jumps out. If it were the Olympics, Josh would have won or this would have at least been a draw.
ok IM not sure of the rules in this contest but i don't really see how nate won. He did attack more but he spent most of the time on his back and trying to keep josh in his guard.Josh tried a scissor heel hook, a standing leg sweep which he used to try and get a gullotine, a rolling heel hook, a frog leep to pass the guard etc. Diaz was alittle busier and he did reverse josh once or twice. Still the rules don't add up to me? explain? agree or disagree whatever, just let me i'm not crazy
HAHA thompson has far better striking, really good TDD defense, better TD and regardless of whether nate won this match or not, it proves he would have a very hard time tapping thomson, which in the end, is the only way he could win the fight
nate is a world class jiu jitsu fighter first, with weak ass weak striking second.. josh is a kickboxer/wrestler first, who hangs if not beats jiu jitsu artists jiu jitsu second! and he hangs if not defeats nate..... toe to toe, josh knocks nate the f*ck out.. and all you bastards know it.. AKA represent
karo is a puffed-up, ego tripping halfwit. he came off like a fucking douchebag on TUF. and exactly how much 'respect' does karo deserve?.... that's right, none. he deserves a fuckin' ass whuppin'.
I'm going to disregard all the flamming against the athletes this was a really good submission match and a good one to study. Why people have negative things to say about THompson I don't understand he's a reall good folk-style wrestler and when he stands and scrabbles away from Nate it is to improive position if your not comfortable in someone's guard are you saying escaping to your feet just means your more comfortable there.
i don't think josh thompson is a folk style wrestler dude, he's more of a jj guy, and even though i'm an active mma fighter myself, i don't go around saying to people "u can't have opinions cause ur inferior cause u don't wrestle blah blah" if you think u deserve more respect than someone else cause u train and compete then u just have a massive chip on ur shoulder.
oh ok, thx for the info, that's probably why nate was able to reguard prety effortlessly but had a hard time taking him down, josh has obviously made the transition well.
Are you saying he she should stay there and wait for Nate to submit him. Its called an escape. Actually I don't know whay I even replied to you just hide behind your screen name and continue to disrespect these guys from the safety of your computer. I'm a submission wrestler and a folk-style wrestler so I wouldn't say anything about these guys I wouldn't say to their face but I guess that's not what your about.
ok how many times do you see josh tompson trying to end the fight with submissions never nate diaz is always trying to get a submission and all josh tompson does is stand up whne hes in trouble nate diaz doesnt go and stand up he even lays down and lets josh be ontop. not effense i should of called him a bitch bc hes obv there because he can fight but still i dont like the fact that people are dissing nate diaz when he is the one actually making moves.
the diaz brother are badass and awsome whats eveyone got againts them? an acting like scum bags still fills seats coz asswhole like you lot who call them want to see them lose
Nick and Nate are bad ass fighters. Everybody wins and loses, that's the fact of fighting....everyone...I agree with the guy that said you win the fans over and the money will come, they do act a little barbaric and cuss alot, but they are still great fighters, don't know if they'll ever win a bunch of money though, they aren't really that marketable....they always say they don't give a fuck....
Nate is just like his brother Nick. Curse like sailors and act like jerks. Guess their mom didn't teach them respect or manners. Gotta give them props, they're good fighters. Just not gonna win many fans acting the way they do. This industry is driven by the fans. Win the fans, win the money. That's how it works.
Good match. I was really impressed with Nate's performance. Constantly pushing the action and going for subs constantly. Thompson disengaged way too much . I really expected more from him.
Nate Diaz is an idiot. Just watch the Ultimate Fighter and you'll see that while hes got the body of a man, hes got the mind of a child. So doesn't that total jerk off Manual whatever the fuck his name is. Karo's cousin. A real spaz and a total friggen dildo.
Did you see Nate own Emerson on the TUF5 show. Its easy to talk shit but can you back it as well?? What kind of game do you have,,,please post your fighting cradentals
So tell me how he was a "Jerk", He stood up for himself and his team.vOther than that he has done nothing else to warrent the "Jerk"comment. Where I come from "Men" stand up and "Bitchs" lay down.Oh and I guess you have no fighting background to speack of?
Yeah, he stood up for himself and wanted to assault someone because of something completely stupid. What if everyone in the world behaved like him ( And you. ) then what? We'd have a bunch of babies running around assaulting everyone because of nothing. I can see that your young and dumb yourself so I'm done debating with you. I won't reply again. Bye.
No if everyone was taught some "respect" problems like that would not arise. As for the "young and dumb" comment, OHHHH tuff guy,look out ladies and gentleman we've got a "Keyboard Warrior" here. I win,,,nananabubu!!!!!
i'm a big josh thomson fan, he's one of those entertaining fighters and very technical, I thought he won this match but I guess not, good match and good post either way
