Man it was nice to hear Jeff blatnick for the first time in over a decade, he definitely doesnt get enough credit for everything he did for the sport. RIP big guy.
Blatnick died on October 24, 2012, as a result of complications from heart surgery. His death sent shock waves through both MMA and wrestling, and resulted in massive outpouring from fans and media in remembrance of Blatnick's life. Frank Shamrock called Blatnick "one of the original soldiers of MMA"; longtime UFC referee John McCarthy said, "Jeff deserves so much credit for helping establish MMA. He gave his credibility to our sport we all owe him a debt of gratitude." MMA fighter and SiriusXM radio host R. J. Clifford wrote, "Jeff Blatnick was so genuine. Seconds after becoming the first US greco medalist, he spent his interview thanking others. Most importantly, (he was) a great human being. Secondly, (he was) one of the best guys to help fix MMA judging...What a loss to both wrestling and MMA." ~ . 🔴🟢⚫🔴🟢⚫🔴🟢⚫🔴🟢⚫🔴🟢⚫🔴🟢⚫🔴🟢⚫🔴🟢⚫🔴🟢🩸🩸. 🔴🟢⚫🔴🟢⚫🔴🟢⚫🔴🟢⚫🔴🟢⚫🔴🟢⚫🔴🟢⚫🔴🟢⚫🔴🟢🩸🩸. 🔴🟢⚫🔴🟢⚫🔴🟢⚫🔴🟢⚫🔴🟢⚫🔴🟢⚫🔴🟢⚫🔴🟢⚫🔴🟢🩸🩸

@@np494609 True, I think he just has great technique and knows how to use his length and flexiblity for leverage on his opponent. Garcia was obviously way stronger but nate just knew he could get out of any situation or turn it into offense. Beautiful to watch his ju jitsu in this one.
Dos Titanes se enfrentaron en esta pelea .Nate Diaz Gano bien y su rival perdió con honor esta fue una pelea muy emotiva muy activa muy dificil .Felicidades .
I knew exactly what was going to happen. Guy out wrestled Nate all the way to the end then Nate hooked him up. Nate’s cardio is awesome. If not for that he would have lost.
Garcia had no hands. He had no wrestling, a few kicks to keep Nates hands back, throws to stop Nates hands. This was when the UFC realised boxing inside the octagon was shit. Diaz having cardio is one reson he won, but being a slob with no cardio and lots of power loses to technique and fukin style bro.
Wth you talking about? He fought for the title and was dominated. He fought a couple other number one contender fights and was dominated in those. The UFC tried their best to put the belt on him. Diaz brothers revisionists never cease to amaze me .
Yeah Dana says he doesn't put up the numbers but it's because he's not marketed by the ufc the same way guys like mctapper are. When they put millions into a guy compared to 5 figure thousands it's an investment at that point and investments must be protected.
Alejandro had some facking slick slips and tosses man. Beautiful technique but Nate just too good in the scramble and grapple game. He's an insane reactionary fighter with a good game IQ. Huge long-time fan but god dayum Garcia was pretty smooth in this fight.
Yeah, you know brother.... Not many people ever come to realise how much of a part our mind and will play in martial arts and combat. Max respect brother.🙏
It's crazy how I remember watching this fight!! Nick's little brother is doing it too😁Who knew , watching back then , that Nate would surpass his brother in stardom 🤔Become one of the biggest stars , if not the biggest , in the world's top MMA organization 💯GOOD SHIT NATE💯HOPE YOU STAY AROUND 🙏✌️👍
Back when you had to prove yourself in a Decagon before graduating to an Octagon. That's the problem w fighter's today they don't respect Geometry like OGs as seen in the finish. So happy Nick gave me props when I saw him that he used to watch my instructionals back in the day. 😊
This was Mate back then. Perhaps Jake Paul would like to try Nate on Nate's turf. Boxing is an easy out for Jake but I'm still predicting Diaz in less than 5 rounds, for their fight.
I didn't say Diaz didn't have any wins by submission fighting in the UFC. I said I've never seen a fight that showed how elite his Jiu-Jitsu skills are.
10-8 is when the ref is close to stopping it, when someone is getting dominated to the point they cannot defend themselves. Everytime Nate was thrown he recovered position and Garcia couldn't do anything. Not even close to a 10 -8 round, but the takedowns were impressive
Garcia did a good job - great judo throws and takedowns … but he gassed quickly half way through round 2 and didn’t know what to do with Nate on the ground - hence nate ‘s cardio and jiu jitsu took over
2004.. wow. I just watched nate win his last fight of his career in 2022. Real OG and legend of the game. Same for Nick
He's not done he'll embarrass a few UA-camrs for a bunch of money before he retires.
@@alexhoneycutt4476 Haha he won't beat jake that's for sure.

Of course Nate always looks awesome but dang Garcia was game as hell, those throws and kicks were legit!
He did shit with the throws
Man this fight was both a Judo lesson and a Jiu Jitsu lesson. What a great, technical fight.
6:34 by Nate was awesome

Garcia really took it to Nate. Take down after takedown but Nates ground submission game is amazing
Nate took him down a few times too. Wrestling isn't worth the energy if you can't control or have decent subs
Awesome to see UFC release these fights for free. Never seen this fight before and the video quality is great.

What about his second debut?
@@gustavthegreat2811you know exactly what they meant...
Both fighters have more than 5 losses... Diaz is 22-13, and Garcia is 14-10.
Nate is the real BMF belt along with Nick, no belt needed to put around the waist, he got it already in his heart.
😂 yeah dude
He has a belt in his heart?
Except when Jorge destroyed him. But Ya, let's just forget about all his losses.

Both are weak with no takedown defense. That's why their records are mediocre. Tough? Absolutely yes. Great fighters? Nope just good fighters.

Ah... So good to hear Stephen Quadros commentary. He really brought the magic and wonder to the evolution of MMA in Pride particularly.
Yeah they are the best brothers I have ever seen in my life. Forget about fighting and all. Just brothers

Good body mechanics and technique
