@RyanT818 Who cares if their unintelligent? They're fighters, they fight to make a living. You might be smarter, but theyd kick your ass hahaha

[jamiegward1984]

Nate needs to fight at 155 only.

Poor management imo.

[someguyhunter]

@LowFrequencyDub they're not their. :3

Intelligence is; experience, staying resilient/learning from mistakes, and being an intellect in the things you're passionate about. Nate might not articulate himself in a text-book intelligent manner or with the vocabulary he uses but he's a FIGHTER. As far as I'm concerned he's brilliantly intelligent in the ring (where he's passionate and earns his food&shelter) and is a poet inside of there as well.One of my favorite fighters to watch because of the fact he genuinely has that poetic element.

Nate Diaz vs Jim Miller on fox 3 gonna be a war!!!

[ashmma1]

he actually looks really good here, yes I'm a chick.

They're intelligent, just not good with cameras. They're fuckin bull dogs, not diplomats, at least i think theyre intelligent.

@LowFrequencyDub Also I'm damn sure a lot of youtubers on here are not "smarter" than the Diaz bros. It's actually quite hard to measure intelligence. Let's put them on equal footing: If you were to train as much as these guys, and face them, can you still guarantee you'd win? What makes you think you'd do better than the rest of the bunch that has been doing the same?

"The first principle is that you must not fool yourself - and you are the easiest person to fool." Feynman (nobel laureate)

@LowFrequencyDub Unintelligent? Bullshit. People fail to realize intelligence comes in MANY flavours. I wouldn't say that someone who uses flowery words is more intelligent than someone who doesn't. A philosophy teacher for example can feign knowledge, but what they really do is parrot back what they've read. I'd equate creativity with intelligence. This can be in the form of music, mathematics, or outwitting your opponent with jiu jitsu (like the Diaz bros do).

[dhartmiester]

they are incredible on the ground, focusing now on becoming diverse with the standup . they might surprise a lot of ppl

deeee

[Sophexx]

LOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO­OOOOOOL!

[ScarecrowCSG]

@muscatinemusk I bet he gets his ass kicked when he does too lol. He's a decent striker but he can't out strike any of the top guys at lightweight. His jiujitsu is good though I'll give him that much. He's not very good for as much shit as he talks and I doubt his brother Nick will deliver against GSP.

[tazzz174]

@mistydreamz GOOD POINT DUDE!

[ren2020ky]

@marshalloo22 he doesnt smoke u idiot, thats his brother nate. are u confused?

[chazzl3]

[Czolgosz123]

[somestupiddude1234]
