i wanna fight to do better in my career and have money to pay the bills. he does not like to hurt people, it is his job. makes sense to me and does not sound retarded at all..
Ryan Catney Nate finishes in the second again. He is just a more rounded fighter. If Nate loses its only because Nate gets to cocky. I think he is past that. He'll take this fight serious again.
Nate full of truth...UFC lying about the "giant size difference"...meanwhile Connor is fighting much smaller men at 145...UFC also totally trying to force a win for Connor with this rematch
I really like Nate. Great fighter all around and completely real with everyone. I wish it didn't take him this long to get recognized, but his hard work is finally paying off.
no, its because he doesnt want to fight like he said in the interview. like he said in the interview before 196 "real fighters fight" and well he doesnt fight
" ... have money to pay the bills and get stuff done outside of fighting .. this fight sh*t is a rough life .. if I'm gonna fight it's going to be a big deal, otherwise it's gonna be no deal" ~ Nate Diaz
His low IQ really so how did Conor do against that last time? Conor Speaks a good game. He really does. But he does not have heart. And I would have to say his IQ today was about as smart as a three year old. Ok maybe 5 year old.
Nate is an animal, it is great to finally get to see him get some recognition even though the UFC still doesn't give it to him. He's always exciting to watch and should be a top paid fighter
James Johnson Exactly! In the fight game, ANYTHING can happen. Making predictions is fun and hyped fights no doubt, but when those predictions don’t line up, it makes them look stupid, especially when it’s the level of bragging Conor takes it to. But I get it, Conor does it well and he has been good for the sport, except for now that he’s got the division all tied up. He’s done nothing but taking fights out of his weight class and other sports. It’s crazy that there has to be an interim Champ in the 155 division because Conor wanted to box. I don’t blame him one bit for making that huge money fight, but he shouldn’t be allowed to keep that title without defending it for so long. The 155 division has some absolute killers in it and Tony Ferguson has been going through them like a steamroller. As far as I’m concerned, he’s the real Champ. I wanna see Conor fight because he’s entertaining, but picking and choosing his fights, along with just not fighting is not championship behavior. Get on with it or vacate.
How? When Conor Mcgregor came about he was super in depth in his interviews and overly obsessive with the sport. Theres a reason he has a ridiculous fan base.
Respect this guy. The "probability knockout" reference just shows that as a fighter he is never complacent and knows that anything can happen in the octagon.
I can tell he means differently from the words that actually come out. He knows what he means, and doesn't feel like fully explaining in detail. I'm actually the same way so I understand him a lot. Win or lose, always a Diaz fan.
I seen Nick in Nate, and Nate in Nick. There brothers they reflect off eachother what u expect? You'd understand if u had one. No bond like a brotherly one
Diaz brothers have this incredible instinctive, intuitive, real fight psychology that can only come from having LIVED THE FIGHT LIFE. Can't really teach this stuff, have to learn it on the job. Compare their psychology with the self help platitudes so many others spout. These guys have learned some great wisdom organically and through hard fought experience ... just the real deal.
I like this dude. Down to earth, good fighter and not big headed about it 25 fights, all against top ten fighters. He don't need to shout about it Go NATE bro
Conor: Eyeyeyeyeyeyey eh? I nearly got him at the press conference yeh? Poor Connie is in for another beating. Day say I tap I tap I tap, but guess fookin wot? I tap it oop yeh! I tap it oop!
Diazs comment on size is more accurate than fans give credit. I have looked up fighters average in shape "walk-around-weight," height, reach, weight difference between Diaz and Conor is right about the same as Conor vs most of his feather weight opponents (Mendes, Siver, Aldo, Brimage) I don't think size was the determining factor for Diazs victory. I think the fact that Diaz is also a southpaw, that stays in his stance, is good at rolling w/shots, and keeps his chin tucked was why Conor couldn't put him away. Against orthodox fighters, their chin is inline w/Conors back hand and he punches threw them. Against Diaz Conor was throwing mostly overhands instead of his straight left because Diaz was always in a position to have his chin protected by his lead shoulder (which is why Conor landed more on his eye, cutting him, rather than his chin, hurting him.) The reason Diaz found success w/his straight left is cause Diaz used his jab better to get Conor out of position and find his chin.
***** Nate is not "slightly " bigger. Im mean come on.. Nate could literally walk into the MW division and he wouldnt have to cut weight.Hell Diaz could even make light heavyweight, I like Diaz, but lets look at the facts. Nate fights much smaller guys than he should be fighting so i laugh when he says Conor is fighting midgets.
+HaterFtw yes it does u know good journalists take the best conversation out a athlete etc , he said helwani is the best , but he doesn't know his mom is real good too she took the best out of me 😉
+IVIusicFiend the interview was awesome because of nate. The questions were the same that everybody had asked him before but he talked long about his things
this is one of the greatest interviews ever. gotta love nate leaves it all out there in the ring. one of the realest fighters ever. looking foward to this fight 50-50 can go either way
Diaz brothers have always said what they think about the UFC that other fighters can't dare think about it.. The most upfront and awesome fighters. After winning the UltimateFighter season 5 in his octagons interview when he was asked what he thought about it, he said I didn't like it and I dint recommend it to anyone.. Dana's face was priceless lol.. Diaz brothers all the way!!!
Funny thing is Nate doesn't even need to defend his size... Connors side is the one that initiated the first fight, Connors side is the one that wants to rematch. If Nates size is too much of an advantage, then stop steppin up to him
+IVIusicFiend for females height = size. A 6ft guy will always be bigger than a 5ft something guy. And guys under 6ft are females according to females.
With every interview I like Nate more and more. I was cheering for Conor last time but this time....I like both of them but it's hard not to favor Nate. It could go either way but it would be nice to see Nate get another win to get a few more huge paydays.
Nate is such a humble good guy, I dont actually see him winning on Saturday but he deserves to make the money he does after the career he's had and will continue to have for a few more years yet
Anyone with half a brain has to see that Nate has the advantage in this fight just based on how the first fight went. Conor gassed after a round and a half and hasn't had enough time to build his cardio to the point to where he can handle 25 mins of constant pressure from Nate. His only hope is to get an early KO but Nates fought a ton of guys that are bigger, stronger, and harder punching than Conor and has only been KOed once.
+SS I'd love to see Nate win again. However, I'm of the opinion that Conor's the better fighter, and has a better chance of winning. Please don't be mad at me.
Great interview Caroline, i wish i could find an interview where they ask nate more interpersonal questions. Like about his Mexican/hispanic background and Life in the 209.
Yeah... he never says "I'm going to win by KO or finish him in this round"... and then end up tapping like a dumbass. He always says... he's going in ready to kill or be killed, do his best and that's actually in my opinion, a good way to think about it and take it. I would like to see him against Tony Ferguson... or some top dude from the LW division.
I definitely misunderstood him. But I wasn't a hater. I just didn't care much for the antics. Yet, one's gotta have respect for someone who does most of his actual talking in the cage. But I think anyone who went through some sh** like him totally gets it.
As an Irishman, I'm back Conor 100% but I've got tonnes of respect for Nate. Humble and down to Earth guy who just says exactly what he feels. As much as I'm backing Conor to win this saturday, I'll respect Nate just as much if he gets the W again.
David Ross he's really not a anything like the civil rights activist, Muslim, Olympian Muhammad Ali it's just that's the way his fans want him to be so the media feeds them that. He's basically just a good fighter from a champion starved country . Seriously named the last champion from there? Barry McGuigan
Fantastic interview, BT Sport. We got a side most interviews don't get from Nate. It took a while but once he got rolling we got some real rational answers from him.
Think that's the clearest iv heard Nate talking lol.. Hope he knocks Conor out in the 1st round! It sickens me the amount of people from the US that cheers Conor instead of Nate, its a shambles!
"I don't like to hurt people, I don't like to ruin people's days"
your point?
Nate is just the man, get is son.
i wanna fight to do better in my career and have money to pay the bills.
he does not like to hurt people, it is his job. makes sense to me and does not sound retarded at all..
+RecTec77 I was thinking the same thing.
Him and Nick have been saying the same thing for +10yrs
He is 100% right on Dana White's plotting. He doesn't like the Diaz brothers because they call it like it is and don't play Dana's game.
jeremy sella yes brother YES !!!!!
Nate is one of, if not the realist fighter in the UFC. No games, no bullshit, no fake persona, just a real fighter.
👍
Well said.
nate is a straight up warrior
No doubt about it. Blood dont stop him. He is multi styled fighter. Boxing
+Joey Diaz oops and a great ground game
+Ryan Catney Thats why he lost last time right.
+Ryan Catney Connor is going to get knocked out this time instead of tapping out like a little girl
Ryan Catney
Nate finishes in the second again. He is just a more rounded fighter. If Nate loses its only because Nate gets to cocky. I think he is past that. He'll take this fight serious again.
Nate full of truth...UFC lying about the "giant size difference"...meanwhile Connor is fighting much smaller men at 145...UFC also totally trying to force a win for Connor with this rematch
+Jimmy Jam na man stop defending him come on ... no shame
I really like Nate. Great fighter all around and completely real with everyone. I wish it didn't take him this long to get recognized, but his hard work is finally paying off.
the reason why Nate Diaz never got recognized before is because the way UFC treats their Fighters
no, its because he doesnt want to fight like he said in the interview. like he said in the interview before 196 "real fighters fight" and well he doesnt fight
" ... have money to pay the bills and get stuff done outside of fighting .. this fight sh*t is a rough life .. if I'm gonna fight it's going to be a big deal, otherwise it's gonna be no deal" ~ Nate Diaz
People knock the way he talks but diaz brothers are very intelligent, not to mention they are the realest fighters around. Respect
Yeah, they are smart, just not necessarily well educated in anything except fighting and fitness.
6:22 "pardon my language" haha gotta love Nate Diaz!
This is why he has so many fan's!!Such a down to earth real guy!!
Lots of people hate on Stockton but in my opinion this is a trait of a lot of people from the Bay Area, often described as down to earth
He is he real deal, no lies just the truth.
he's too dumb to lie.
+Rob Fournier Far from stupid.
Oh and by go home I mean back to Europe The USA does not need traitors
Joey Diaz When the wall goes up the Diaz name will start to thin out across the USA.. and i'm not American.
His low IQ really so how did Conor do against that last time? Conor Speaks a good game. He really does. But he does not have heart. And I would have to say his IQ today was about as smart as a three year old. Ok maybe 5 year old.
Nate is an animal, it is great to finally get to see him get some recognition even though the UFC still doesn't give it to him. He's always exciting to watch and should be a top paid fighter
Love the fact that he accepts that he can get knocked out.

This man has so much more depth and heart than Mc Gregor ......
How? When Conor Mcgregor came about he was super in depth in his interviews and overly obsessive with the sport. Theres a reason he has a ridiculous fan base.
Nope
Respect this guy. The "probability knockout" reference just shows that as a fighter he is never complacent and knows that anything can happen in the octagon.
This guys is truly the realist ... He's like I plan to go home in one piece lol..
My favourite quote from this interview: 8:39
"...yeah just been eatin' & eh...doin' whatever I want
...it's funerdei...funerenm."
Hahaha
Hahaha
lool its funnner
Lmao! One too many blows to the head
I think he tried to say it's funner then lol. Funny though
nate is awesome man, I'm a mcgregor fan too though but nate is maaad humble. first class dude
Nate looks pissed. He transforming into fighting attitude. He knows it's fight week. He's ready.
he doesn't even care TBH. he even said he doesn't care of he wins or loses. he said so what
+Brenden Epperson he'll still get a big payout
Especially when Nate Diaz is in full camp mode.
he has the ninja spirit
I can tell he means differently from the words that actually come out. He knows what he means, and doesn't feel like fully explaining in detail. I'm actually the same way so I understand him a lot. Win or lose, always a Diaz fan.
he turned into nick at the end lol
I noticed lmao
I seen Nick in Nate, and Nate in Nick. There brothers they reflect off eachother what u expect? You'd understand if u had one. No bond like a brotherly one
i was talking about nicks A.D.D.
@@bobbylie5326 that's the problem, i don't have one ☹️
Both Diaz and Mcgregror got a good full head of hair. Nice hair lines.
2 good hair lines going at it.
Dana is bald
A lot of perspective has been drawn from this.
Diaz brothers have this incredible instinctive, intuitive, real fight psychology that can only come from having LIVED THE FIGHT LIFE. Can't really teach this stuff, have to learn it on the job. Compare their psychology with the self help platitudes so many others spout. These guys have learned some great wisdom organically and through hard fought experience ... just the real deal.
I like this dude. Down to earth, good fighter and not big headed about it
25 fights, all against top ten fighters. He don't need to shout about it
Go NATE bro
This guy speaks the truth.the media should be holding there heads in shame
Conor: Eyeyeyeyeyeyey eh? I nearly got him at the press conference yeh?
Poor Connie is in for another beating.
Day say I tap I tap I tap, but guess fookin wot? I tap it oop yeh! I tap it oop!
HAHAHAHAHHAH xDDDDDDD
hahaha good one
Lmaoooo
BUT guess fookin wot lol u had me rolling
Amazing
This is my fave nate interview.
Diazs comment on size is more accurate than fans give credit.

The reason Diaz found success w/his straight left is cause Diaz used his jab better to get Conor out of position and find his chin.
Dan Hardy?
One of the better Diaz bros interviews out there - nice work BTS.
NATE FOR PRESIDENT! HERE IS SOME REAL TRUTH!
Nate only takes. Truth agreed bro
I'm starting to become a bit of a Diaz fan, he's a grounded dude and seems to have a real appreciation for Life.
If Nate is a Welterweight then so is Conor.
Conor walks around a 168 , Nate walks around at least 190
Conor is a natural LW and Nate is a natural WW
Those are the facts
TruthStartsNow3 Nate says he woke up at 176.
Martin Ruckschlos He said he is eating whatever he wants and is not cutting much at all. I guarantee he weighs around 180.
***** Nate is not "slightly " bigger. Im mean come on.. Nate could literally walk into the MW division and he wouldnt have to cut weight.Hell Diaz could even make light heavyweight, I like Diaz, but lets look at the facts. Nate fights much smaller guys than he should be fighting so i laugh when he says Conor is fighting midgets.
TruthStartsNow3 OK, regardless, I'm not too excited by this fight and am looking forward to it surprising my expectations. Nice chat.
What a nice and genuine interview. One of the few, well done Caroline Pearce and thumbs up for Nate !!
I love how genuine and sincere Nate is...
they always ask him the same questions, the only good journalist is Helwani
+drew talk to daddy with more respect
This interviewer actually worked pretty well with Nate. She let him speak and get what he wanted to get out. Looked pretty chill as well.
+HaterFtw yes it does u know good journalists take the best conversation out a athlete etc , he said helwani is the best , but he doesn't know his mom is real good too she took the best out of me 😉
+IVIusicFiend the interview was awesome because of nate. The questions were the same that everybody had asked him before but he talked long about his things
+javi bauts chill u guys is nothing serious im just trying to have fun
this is one of the greatest interviews ever. gotta love nate leaves it all out there in the ring. one of the realest fighters ever. looking foward to this fight 50-50 can go either way
Nate is cool, that's a given. The questions are good too though! That's a nice change :)
Nate is a jedi
I just love how honest and true Nate Diaz is.
this guy's interview is priceless.
Got a lot of respect for Nate... love the honesty 👊
His interview skills are improving greatly. Go Diaz!!!
So humble & respectful ❤️
Diaz brothers have always said what they think about the UFC that other fighters can't dare think about it.. The most upfront and awesome fighters.
After winning the UltimateFighter season 5 in his octagons interview when he was asked what he thought about it, he said I didn't like it and I dint recommend it to anyone.. Dana's face was priceless lol..
Diaz brothers all the way!!!
love how humble he is. Nate Diaz ...... a true fighter and champion !!!
Nate is as humble and real as a man can get.
Respect this guy. Honest interview
Nate is awesome, very wise
"We're the same size.. I'm taller" - Nate Diaz, 2016.
Muscular wise , strength wise , dumbass 2 guys can be the same size with one being taller
Lol gotta love nate
Funny thing is Nate doesn't even need to defend his size... Connors side is the one that initiated the first fight, Connors side is the one that wants to rematch. If Nates size is too much of an advantage, then stop steppin up to him
+IVIusicFiend for females height = size. A 6ft guy will always be bigger than a 5ft something guy. And guys under 6ft are females according to females.
and guys under 5 inches are considered women better watch out durty hahaha
Nate is going to go down as one of the greats ... He got a legacy
Gotta love Nate, so down to earth and humble. It's the way to go really...That alone deserves a win!
With every interview I like Nate more and more. I was cheering for Conor last time but this time....I like both of them but it's hard not to favor Nate. It could go either way but it would be nice to see Nate get another win to get a few more huge paydays.
Nate is such a humble good guy, I dont actually see him winning on Saturday but he deserves to make the money he does after the career he's had and will continue to have for a few more years yet
He'll win. watch.
Oh there's honestly no chance that Nate will lose on Saturday. Just watch, he's a better all around martial artist and he's going to prove it again.
Anyone with half a brain has to see that Nate has the advantage in this fight just based on how the first fight went. Conor gassed after a round and a half and hasn't had enough time to build his cardio to the point to where he can handle 25 mins of constant pressure from Nate. His only hope is to get an early KO but Nates fought a ton of guys that are bigger, stronger, and harder punching than Conor and has only been KOed once.
+Arm Collector McGregor has been working on cardio ever since the first fight; surely he's improved upon that by now.
+SS I'd love to see Nate win again. However, I'm of the opinion that Conor's the better fighter, and has a better chance of winning. Please don't be mad at me.
354,468 views on this video and only 87,784 on the Conor video. Says it all.
Nate is an awesome dude, he speaks the truth, i like conor but after watching these interviews and videos on him, Nate is a guy who earns respect...
Respect to Nate Diaz, and Nick. My two favorite fighters of ALL TIME and I have been a fan of MMA since UFC 1!
Diaz brothers.... They re cool. They re original and more down to earth. Great interview Nate! Thanks for keepin it real.
this dude ain't nothing but genuine
Great interview Caroline, i wish i could find an interview where they ask nate more interpersonal questions. Like about his Mexican/hispanic background and Life in the 209.
Yeah... he never says "I'm going to win by KO or finish him in this round"... and then end up tapping like a dumbass.

I would like to see him against Tony Ferguson... or some top dude from the LW division.
Huge Conor fan and I already liked Nate but this video changed the way I see him. Great vid!!
No trash talk. Lots of respect to this calm badass.
were looking at years on the mat, makes a guy humble.
the only interview where nate spoke more than a journalist. the guy's getting better in talking, good for him
The single most self-honest interview I've ever seen.
I can't remember one with another fighter in this level. Used to hate this guy. I just...can't.
I definitely misunderstood him. But I wasn't a hater. I just didn't care much for the antics. Yet, one's gotta have respect for someone who does most of his actual talking in the cage.
But I think anyone who went through some sh** like him totally gets it.
As an Irishman, I'm back Conor 100% but I've got tonnes of respect for Nate. Humble and down to Earth guy who just says exactly what he feels. As much as I'm backing Conor to win this saturday, I'll respect Nate just as much if he gets the W again.
The Diaz brothers are Real as Real gets... #Represent #NeverBetAgainstTheDiazBrothers
One word for Nate: Real! I love this man's down to earth no nonsense direction. He deserves every nickle he makes times 2
Saturday is gunna be so good, I like Nate more and more though every interview I see
Spot on with each answer, but also good questions. Great interview. I think it will be a loong night for the Leperchaun.
Glad Nate brought it up, every mma journalist lists Nate as 3-2 at welterweight but he's actually now 2-2 and 1-0 at middleweight.
He's a class act man. Big fan of his now. And although I'm rooting for Conor with me being Irish , I'll be rooting for Nate in any other fight.
Hahaha that "pardon my language" bit at 6:25 I love the Diaz bros.
This guy's so real he distorts reality.
Diaz speak is 50% bizarre rants and 50% groundbreaking insights.
respect to Nate
Good interview! I liked the interviewer too
Please BT Sport / UFC. Upload the fight.
Such a raw pure amazing self confidence. The Best.
great interview
10:30 min till the end....the truth was spoken that day...good interview!
Cool and down to Earth brother ! Raw as hell ! No bullish !
Nathan Diaz the realist of the real always keeping it 100
I wanna see Nate win this one. He is smart and is fighting for a way bigger cause, He is on one. Go Nate.
Nate Diaz has been great since the ultimate fighter probably before that just didn't see it
Huge fan of Nate and Nick. The Diaz brothers always come to fight. 100% legit.
good interview nate-true-true connor really gets unfair level of love from media and ufc
👍
cuz he is doing almost the same things tht ali did...just with more swearing and pettyness...ppl love conor cuz he walks around like he is a king.
David Ross he's really not a anything like the civil rights activist, Muslim, Olympian Muhammad Ali it's just that's the way his fans want him to be so the media feeds them that. He's basically just a good fighter from a champion starved country . Seriously named the last champion from there? Barry McGuigan
This is the most I have ever heard him talk in one setting..
Huge respect to Nate keeps it 💯
Fantastic interview, BT Sport. We got a side most interviews don't get from Nate. It took a while but once he got rolling we got some real rational answers from him.
king Nathan Diaz
I like Conor's style of unique fighting but respect Nate more as he is much more of a humble and friendlier person
Hated Nate....till I got to know the more about the guy......what a great man!
Best Diaz interview ever.
I love how they are making Nate do all the interview,just to increase all the chances of Nate losing, while Conor can stay at home and train.
Vegas is not home for CM, he stayed in Vegas this time around tho to train and be avail for press n ect
And Santa Claus is real dam..UFC why do that
One thing I love about Nate is he doesn't pretend to be another person in front of the camera
Think that's the clearest iv heard Nate talking lol.. Hope he knocks Conor out in the 1st round! It sickens me the amount of people from the US that cheers Conor instead of Nate, its a shambles!
Nate u got this.
its impossible not to like Nate Diaz
