Nate get on Hot Wings much much better interviewer and you get to eat!!!!
3:17 Nate lookin for his bong hahahahaha
You got 2 learn from mistakes! Nate brings up a good point on Connor!
Nate needs to get off the drugs ... he can’t even keep his breath holding a convo how’s he supposed to step in a ring
Nice racecar chair bro. vrooom vroom beep beep
Dude is squirrelly as dude .. he’s so stoned during this interview he didn’t even remember how many rounds it took Khabib to finish Connor.... must be some good sheet
Cool dude. Straight up high af. I didn't like the Diaz Bros 5 years ago. Now I'm a fan from Sactown.
NATE IS DANGEROUS
NATE IS RIGHT ON ABOUT CONNER
Always the best interviews, this guy never comes off as pretentious and fake.
He’s right. Conor is anxious for the kill
Nate forget tha BS! Show these fools whats up in the Boxing GAME you would dominate!!
Nate's a gamer?!?!
Dam Nate's voice is so ruff he bout made my phone fall in the shower 🚿 😳 lol
How is Nate even relevant?
Put some respect on Nate he’s the man regardless of any losses !!
Too much of anything, even a good thing, is bad for you.
Who lmao he’s high asf
I’ve watched this over 5 times lmao. Only Conor n Nate can get me to do that.
Ariel should be ashamed for Gina remarks!
170 even if he made it past porier Usman would take his head clean off stay where u at out in the dirt dustin would work u. 13:30 his brother an him play to many games ya khabib learned from you. 😄olivera, Ferguson, porier, khabib, gaechje, Usman would all starch him. built in excuses!
20-12 record...
Nate would beat Dustin.
Wants to fight at 170 but calling out 155s ffs he’s not the full ticket think masvidal hit to hard
Masvidal ain’t no bmf he scared to rematch Nate
2-4 fights lol. This fool is going to fight once or not at all
What a strange strange man. I love it.
I tried be nice with Nate. But dude just smoke you joints and retire man. Ever fight your face is falling off. And you prolly got serious CTE.
Get em nate love you brother
Anything Nate Diaz BLAM! I click!
He is right all those fighters that got put to sleep or knocked out in war are dead he is a true warrior
I remember one old video where Nick said that for them it is not sport its fighting. And thats the point-how can you be koed or choked out and come home alive. In this perspective it makes perfect sense. And this sht about records-Diaz at his prime fought the best fighters for years and got finished once. That is so rare but still people would mumble about records. Sometimes I wish MMA wasnt so popular as it is now. Coz many people know sht but still write it everywhere without knowing the core of this sport.
His on drugs
He needs to stop smoking
Who cares about this fool
The sassy stretch neuropathologically pedal because geology moberly beam above a nondescript trunk. godly, brown starter
Frustrating interview, very nonprofessional, tough fighter but gets hit a lot, it shows in this interview
Ariel's patience is great
unwatchable.
Punch drunk or super stoned! Either way he needs evaluating by a neurologist before you let him back in the UFC ring!
Wats the month right now???
Who cares what Nate wants. He lost too much. He can't call the shots. He can fight whoever's ranked #16.
Stfu
I like to see Helwani fight
Nate Diaz: "That's why no one got no finishes on me" Josh Thomson: "Am I a joke to you"
Nate is a real G he never changed up his ways like some people do when they get famous, and I don't think he's afraid to fight anyone
Always been a fan of the Diaz brothers but Nate needs to hang up the gloves. He's never been the best speaker but I feel like he is def showing signs of CTE, from a physical point of view I don't know how much more punishment he can take.
Nathan’s a cutter that’s gonna be a on going problem kinda sucks
He wants the 155 fighters to fight him at 170 lol,, 170 fighters all need to grow up lol,, Fergunson said yes, oh the time is not right for Fergunson lol,, Sounds like you dont want to fight just make excuses after excuses...
Don't do drugs kids
He reminds me of me trying to explain something but it’s not making any sense but I know what I’m saying lol
i have never seen a nate diaz which end by the reporter
Nate is going brain dead
Nate is the man!!!!!!!! 209!!!
People who say he makes no sense also have to realize this man is 10 concussions and 2 super strong edibles deep right now(while sipping the solo cup thoo)
Tony vs diaz👀 I would buy that ticket🔥
Nate be smoked tf out
Cringe. Dude has some serious cte. It’s hard to even listen to this much less watch. Dude thinks he’s above everyone but has been dusted before. Not even to mention Jorge almost knocked the dudes eye out. Smh
When you get passed the anxiety, the wisdom that Nate Diaz drops is priceless. He analyzed the Connor vs Mayweather fight rather beautifully. It's like he's MMA's Mike Tyson.
Cus he’s not dumb he has a speech problem I don’t think he has anxiety that’s more nick
His repeating the importance of patience in a fight is really insighteful also.
nate sitting on some cheap sracer chair nate should catch the bus to his next fight
What u sitting on boy 😭
conor ( i want a rematch, white privilege) mcgregor , the integrity of this sport is nose-diving fast 😂😂😂
Stockton 209 B.M.F
Nate: I don't even know what satin is
The intelligent product mechanically extend because witch ectrodactyly worry concerning a nebulous wine. superficial, lively trapezoid
Exactly
VROOM VROOM BEEP BEEP HAHA
Ariel Helwani = douche nozzle ..........lol
What an incredibly stupid request. I want Max Holloway at 205. Jesus this guy's logic is just not there.
Called power
Nate should stay and wait for 170, cause 155lb division they are gonna do everything to get Chandler vs Khabib it is just history repeats itself UFC gets a Champ from another organization give them a fight they hope they will dominate in to build up hype and get the Champ interested in fighting and UFC hopes of course their champ will dominate this guy who they build up it has been the same ole business plan for years now. Who else would Khabib want to fight at the moment really he already beat everyone else so Chandler vs Khabib makes most sense in 155 if they can get Khabib to take it. The older guys should move up in weight and stop killing themselves to cut so much weight where they can keep up the pace better for 5 rounds instead of starving themselves and having to rehydrate with iv fluids after the weigh-ins which has led to numerous hospitalizations the night before multiple events. I hope they do get one of the two fights Nate wants setup.
Diaz is a top ten gatekeeper... if ya can get past him, you can fight a top ten fighter.
This guy sacrificed himself for your entertainment....show some respect, Nate’s a true warrior
Yeah I am sure the money,fame ,chicks ,drugs ,ego trip had nothing to do with it
Seems like weed isn't really helping his brain...
lol
just read the other comments: haaaaaaaaaaaaahahahahahahahaha!!!! man!
Fighting like hes talking slowly demolishing His opponent
If Nate fought Khabib he would get finished too.
This dude earned some stripes but hes walking around like hes the goat and nobody is worthy to fight him. Bro go fight usman, burns, Covington, Edwards etc and get humbled real quick
What worries me is that right eye of Nate. That scar tissue is so noticeable now more than ever, it’ll steal another fight from him if it opens up again. Too bad he couldn’t get surgery last year.
Nate Diaz "the stoners stoner"🤪
Nate is the type of dude to insult the surgeon 1 minute before going under "ready for surgery'' Straight up.
Did anyone ever ask Nate why he is southpaw although he is right handed? Or some other really interesting questions about HIS rare fighting style instead of his opinions on other fighters and sht like that? Man, you have nearly an hour to interview one of the most entertaining fighters with history longer than dinosaurus and you ask him about Jake Paul. Fck this really.
Nate can't sit still.
Nate looks doped up here. So sad to see. Very slow with his thoughts and speech. I worry about him. I hope doesnt become a casualty in the near future
I DONT EVEN KNOW WHAT SATIN IS. Its just comfortable Material. ARE YOU AT YOUR HOUSE RIGHT NOW? Yes, YOU GOT A LIBRARY IN YOUR HOUSE? No, its just a Bookshelf 🙂🙃🙂🙃
So he wants to fight at 170 but calls out two fighters at 155 ? Diaz is one funny guy 😅
I think the reason Nate is so tough is that he's in a permanent state of stroke. Any hit or disturbance just temporarily reverts him back to normal, that's why he sounds so off outside of the octagon.
Josh Thompson finished Nate
god it gives me anxiety waiting on nate to finish his sentence
Lol
Wait... they interviewed Nick by mistake.
Nate's right. One of the last. Respect.
Also I love Nate.... But he is definitely a hater.
I hate when Nate or any fighter claims they don't fight cause "nothing is going on" Well make something going on. Go out call people out. .. then sign the contract. Like how can guys say these? Don't get me wrong Nick and Nate Diaz got me into watching MMA. They both my favorites. But nothing is going on... Cause as you put it your just hanging out.
I always get tricked by the thumbnails not showing Ariel Helwani, almost a watchable video.
Dude this guy is there great white hope ofcourse he's gona get every thing he wants UNDESERVING...as usual. He lost that 2nd fight aswell with nate and they literally gave him 2 belts he NEVER defended...😂
speed racer nate
If you sat through this there’s something wrong with you. Nate is the hardest person to listen to.
Someone said he looks like Thanos right here.
I couldn't finish even half the interview.
Walking cte. This guy needs to retire, his brain is on fire.
Diaz looking like his hooked on meth 😂
Um...no. People on meth have jagged sharp teeth, sores on their face, and pick at themselves. Nate is pure THC my dude.
36:46 "but I said it was CBD so I wouldn't get in trouble" :D hhahaha my man
The best interview I have seen
SNDL 📈🌞
is he stoned or something
