UFC Quick Quote: Nate Diaz feels like he whooped Clay Guida's ass

both of you sucked that night..it should’ve been a draw..

Whatever…Clay fought the smarter fight, and I’m glad he won. It’s a compliment to you that he fought you like that.

I completely agree with nate, that decision was a complete joke, pointed out some serious flaws in the current judging system.

I wouldn’t call it an a** whooping. I do think Nate could have done more to make the fight more decisive.

It was a shitty fight and Nate lost the decision, but he did a lot more damage. Clay’s style in that fight was boring and it made me question him as a fighter. Nate Diaz is a complete jackass though so I’m not heartbroken over the decision.

Guida definitely lost me as a fan. It isn’t the fact that he had a poor performance, everyone has those. It’s the fact that he is acting like he dominated the fight and that it was exciting. If he’s content with fighting like that, I don’t see many people rooting for him for much longer.

And oh yeah, Nate won.

I agree. Even though I don’t think he kicked Clay’s ace.

I still think Clay stalled.

i lost a little repect for guida after this fight. he used to be the of the most exciting fighters in mma. now he just seems desperate to eek out wins. he will never have a chance at being a champion, but i think nate still does. i can remember someone accusing a fighter of using a “standing blanket”. i was like, “lol, there’s no such thing”. now i know different, clay made me a believer in the “standng blanket”.

Guida is a BOOOOriNG one-dimensional strong wrestler that is good at holding people down, a’la’ Sherk, Tyson griffin, jon fitch, etc,,

That was a very frustrating fight to watch. I was hoping for a lot more excitement from Guida. I was rooting for Diaz and thought he was robbed. I don’t think he “whooped his ass” but I think he was a better fighter that time.

they have to start differentiating between proper mma wrestling and holding a guy. Guida is a joke with his style.

diaz is a fucking little bitch…he lost he needs to get over it…he talks soo much shit all the time and its gettin old…he shouldnt of even won tuf…manny beat his ass the first round then dislocated his shoulder to start the second round…i think they should fight again.

nate was easily winning the stand up and in the third round had him hurt and instead of pouring on with the punches he decided to shoot in and try to take him down and we all know nate has bad takedows, i think nate could have finished the fight in the third if he kepts throwing punches in bunches he was hurting guida with the body shots. all guida did was hug him and keep nate from doing anything offensive and it resulted in a somewhat boring fight. but i think nate has a bright future and that guida will never be more than a gatekeeper as he will never be able to beat any of the top guys

A Win Is A Win And Clay Did Win In The Points

Nate Might Have Landed The Better Shots True

But It Shouldve Been Ud Not Sd

Nate is a better fighter than Guida. Everytime Diaz fights you see improvement but in Guida you just see the same thing over and over. Clay’s striking is terrible and all he has is wrestling. The only downfall Diaz has is his wrestling skills other than that he has good boxing, judo throws, and excellent jiu-jitsu.

I dont like Nate that much but I found mysefl rooting for him to beat Guida…Guida was plainly just hugging him and boring he wouldnt even throw punches to the ear or anywhere else when he had his back!!…and Guida says he made a “Statement”…whatever that performance was boring and lackluster…how does he plan to fight a top notch guy??

Guida “Im a Hugger Not A Fighter”

i guess i am still the only guida fan left after that fight, LOL.

Yes, it was a boring fight but i think thats because both have great skills individually, and that nullified many aspects.

Tho as i think about it, many of my favorites are simply strong wrestlers (i have a wrestling background) ie: Sherk, Guida, Tito, Randy, Brock, Fitch, KOS, and even tho GSP does NOT have a standard wrestling background he is widely considered the best in the UFC.

WAR Tito, BJ, GSP, Sherk, Wandy, Franklin, Lesnar and the STEELERS!

Diaz knows there are ways to break a bear hug right? all he did was flop around, give up his back and then get slammed on his head. If he was the “better” fighter he should have known that was guidas game plan and had counters for his style. Instead he got controlled the whole fight and lost the decision.

Guida is like a pest, thats how he fights..He is like a little nat that keeps flying around you annoyingly..Nate should have kept the fight standing, utilize your reach advantage..He was peppering Guida up with some nice shots..Guida has never been an exciting fighter, he just has a constant pace that wears people out..Gilbert Melendez is a more exciting fighter and he beat Guida, Melendez should be in the UFC..Guida will never be a champion haha..Frankie Edgar would murk his caveman ass..I never look forward to seeing Guida’s fights let alone his goon brother cornering him.

I don’t care what anyone says, I like Nate Diaz. I thought he won the second two rounds. I thought Guida was going to pressure him a lot more in this fight. It’s an understandable decision for Guida, no big deal, but it doesn’t lower Diaz’s stock at all. He’s a fun fighter to watch. In a couple years he’s gonna be sick if he keeps improving and adds some muscle.

And the Diaz brothers have a great patent on the arms raised in the air taunt boxing.

Remember when Nick pulled that on Robbie Lawler and then KO’d him later in the fight?

Diaz won that fight, Guida did nothing but hold onto him from behind, he did nothing. As I posted before Nate should have won on this with his 3 hip tosses in the 2nd round alone.

Punk ass skinny ghetto bird!

im a fan of nate but he lost that fight cos he wasnt aggressive enough, it was a bring as fight and if youre gonna mess around and leave it to the judges – yu just might lose – its how it is

Nate Diaz is better than Guida. Fights should be judged on who had the other person in the most danger (damage + close submission attempts). If fights went on forever those are the two things that would eventually decide them usually.

I had no idea this place had so many crybaby Nate Diaz fans, because only someone who can’t accept reality would think that Nate did anything to Clay. I must have missed all of those punishing and devestating punches that Diaz landed on Clay that had him close to going to sleep. It’s pretty pathetic that guys can’t accept when Guida imposses his will on his opponent and they can’t do a damn thing about it. It reminds me of the people who cry about guys taking them down, if you let a guy do whatever he wants to you then you lost the fight just like Nate did.

HAHAHAHA @ the topic!

Nate lost, to me he fought like he didn’t need a win.

Everyone always talks about what an exciting fighter Guida is….and how he goes in to destroy his opponent or be destroyed…and then when he fights a smart fight one time…everyone comes at him and its like hes dodgin dicks in prison. it makes me sick.

He’s right. Guida did nothing but fking hugging him the last two rounds.

I felt like Nate won the first round and the third was about even. There was too much holding going on. Nate did the kimura toss 2 or 3 times but clay would not let go. In the stand up nate was winning. Let them fight again is what I say.

No way Diaz won the first round. I was at a sports bar watching this and when the first round ended and Diaz put his hands up like he won, everyone in that place was laughing their asses off!

1) Ref did terrible job
2) Guida can’t fight
3) Diaz didn’t do damn thing to win this fight

Guida won…period…Just not in stellar fashion.

Isn’t “control” a factor for the judges? Guida controlled Diaz most of the time.

If Guida could figure out how to actually GNP or strike, he could be huge threat. The “Tazmanian Devel”/bear hug technique doesn’t put away opponents.

Diaz could have won if he had more effective boxing. He even admitted it.

Also, remember that Diaz is amazing on the ground. For Guida to control there was impressive.

Last, Diaz needed a loss. Those Diaz brothers think they are thugs. Time for him to mature and evolve his game.

While I’m not surprised Nate Diaz is saying something ignorant and stupid again – that’s pretty much what happens every time he manages to articulate words, instead of just grunting – the amount of support he’s getting around here was something I didn’t expect.

Diaz did exactly TWO things in that fight: he jabbed (half the time with the hand open) and ineffectually tried for a few submissions. Despite his huge reach advantage, he didn’t push the striking, and aside from pulling guard a couple of times, also didn’t do a damn thing to put himself in position to use his BJJ. In fact, he didn’t even try, and put on the usual Diaz brother monkey act when the other guy wouldn’t come and engage on Diaz’s terms.

Guida put on a horrible performance, but he was the one initiating… well, practically everything that happened in that fight. Diaz had plenty of opportunities to go on the offensive, but (aside from that brief moment in the 3rd round) he instead decided to let Guida spend several minutes sitting on his back, which made the outcome pretty much inevitable. In fact, it SHOULDN’T even have been a split decision – you don’t get points just because your opponent fought an ugly and boring fight.

Snooze fest – brutal matchup to begin with in terms of excitement for the fans, though I was sucked in and pretty pumped for it. I blame Joe Silva……..

Keep your head up, Nate. Even though I think you’re a prick, you are the future of that division. A decision loss to a very game Clay Guida is nothing to be ashamed of.

Nate was completely dominated. Guida did what he had to do to prevent getting submitted by a great jui jitsu fighter. I was suprised that it was a split decision. there wasn’t a round that nate even came close to dominating. in the 3rd he had a good flurry on the feet. It lasted about 20 seconds before guida put him right back on the canvas. Diaz’s popularity is what made it a split. And Guida is far from boring. Have any of you seen his last fights? Jits is a great art, but it’s those guys who force boring fights. Gracies are some of the best of all time, but they are the most boring fighters to watch. Diaz is gracie trained. He could have pushed the pace but it was easier for him to lose and then talk shit because that’s what he does..

I like the tenacity of Guida, but Nate boxed his face off most of the fight and took Clay down a lot. I thought Diaz won.

“Nate boxed his face off most of the fight” What? Nate boxed his face off for about six seconds of one round. Guida clearly won this fight.

The sad thing is I used to despise both of the Diaz brothers before this fight.

By the third round I was hoping that Nate could pull off the win any way possible because Clay Guida was putting me to sleep.

Man! You guys must love Nate’s sweaty nuggets. So much whining and drama going on here that I thought this was a teenage girls chatroom for a minute.

Who cares, it’s Nate Diaz.

all guida did this whole fight was land a little ground and pound (4 punches) 1 knee ,1 slam and the rest of the fight he held him the whole time

i felt this fight was a very entertaining bout.

im not sure what fight u guys were watching??

guida is not a boring fighter~ and he did not just hold on to my boy!

what about that huge slam? what about the knees from the clinch?

~takedowns?

~elbows?? his crazy pace? and willingness to keep a fast pace??

imo~ guida is a scrappy fighter~ who usually delivers an entertaining fight.

diaz was the one initiating the clinch!

if nate was thinking straght? he would have stood and boxed.

i cant believe nate clinched as much as he did.

nate just ended up in a clinch catching knee’s.

and when nate got his judo throw?

guida would just reverse the position..

bottom line is nate should have kept a gap, and boxed clay all night.

nate is better then that! he is better then guida!

i give clay guida respect for taking nate out of his zone.

he fully made nate fight a guida fight..

i think nate could beat guida 9 out of 10 times.

last weekend was the one time..

clay desreved the nod! and nate deserves to go back and think about what happened.

come back stronger and smarter… war diaz!!

war (lightweight) bj!!

say word!

Diaz is a ghetto wanna be punk. His ass should be in jail with Clay Guida givin it to him.

They need to revise the scoring system. It seems way to often that the fights end with someone sandbagging the other once they feel they’re ahead in the score to run down the time. Like how they take a knee in football. I understand it but it isn’t very exciting.

I don’t like it in football but football is free on tv, ufc isn’t.

DIAZ is a stupid fucker if he thinks he won that fight

The diaz brothers are cut from a different cloth. The best of the best. If I were hiring my dream team of fighters they along with robby lawler and matt hughes would be my first four choices. Just due to the heart factor. He had the best fight of the night and got ripped on the decision. Guida is a cuddle bunny hugger. He never hurt him once and diaz punished during the stand up. Oh well Nate, dana don’t like your brother either. your probably next.

Affliction out did UFC and let everybody know. If we start supporting it as well as ufc, then and only then can we get the best for the fans. Shity card UFC. The matchups seemed right. Just no one wanted to fight. Karo parisian whatever his name is was a fluckin joke. He’s a bitch and lost the match too. Wrong decisions and pussy fighting. Shame on you UFC! I’ll get affliction for sure on the next card. And I’m not that excited about UFC’s next line up!!!!

I Challenge Dana White to a fight. I’m tired of his cussing ass mouth and would love to pound him into white meat. lol Seriously! Call me Dana! Get in the ring!

The fact that Nate is a skinny looking kid but still wins most of his fights is part of what I like about him. He also keeps his cool when he is getting worked over and is always looking for the sub.

It’s pretty clear what happened in this fight. Guida won the first and Diaz the last round. The middle was basically a draw, but you can’t give 10-10, so it was a toss-up. Diaz was going for the kimura half the time and Guida was “controlling” him from the back via huggage.

I gave Diaz some minor points for the throws, even tho it didn’t improve his position. Since Diaz won the last round and was finishing stronger I came away thinking he won the fight, even if the judges didn’t. But in truth it was a draw.

But the most exciting part of the fight was when Nate was tagging him with unanswered blows and starting raising his arms in the arm. I have no idea why I like that move so much, but it has an in-your-face quality that I appreciate and only the Diaz brothers can get away with it.

My favorite martial artists are the humble guys like Fedor, Randy, etc. But for some reason, Nate’s attitude and style is entertaining. I will root for him every time. At least he was looking for ways to finish the fight in that second round (even if the kimura was ill-advised). Guida was all about controlling his way to a point victory.

Clay is boring and Nate got robbed,period
