wow, diaz looked good. nice to see him actually finish his opponent
Not a surprise, Diaz out classed Shamrock.
Wow Diaz just smothered him.
love him or hate him diaz has some crazy skills
Frank looked sloppy cuz.
Diaz looked pretty good! Shamrock is done.
wow didnt see that happening. Good finish diaz
Damn, good fight by Diaz, looked like Frank just did’nt have anything for Diaz, Frank’s just starting to look like Ken out there, I think he’s done, i definitely don’t see a rematch with Cung Le for Frank.
Well done Diaz, wore Shamrock down and out
We are going to fight each other so one of us can win again
that was a straight up butt-kicking
classic case of a young lion beating an old lion…like when matt hughes beat royce gracie
Did those punches and kicks from Nick appear to be in slow motion and telegraphed? I know he is skilled and I admire the courage needed in mma, but I can’t believe he would have the same success with someone younger and quicker.
Shamrock brothers are going to be like the dinosaurs soon..extinct.
Shamrock looked off his game, almost like he didn’t have the motivation to win. I refuse to believe that Diaz is so much better a fighter that he could take out Shamrock so easily. We all saw how quickly Shamrock got to his feet after being taken down, even from a full mount.
Wow Shamrock got old, why would he try and box Diaz? oh yeah, because he’s too old… Did I mention that Shamrock was old?
WOW Nick Diaz put it 2 Frank Shamrock and ive never seen Shamrock get murder like that b4….Frank Shamrock either lost it after that Cung Le fight or its just a bad match up.Imo Shamrock is overrated because i thought standing up Frank had more power and could land a couple big shots but it was the opposite.Congrats 2 Nick and lets see Nick Diaz vs. Cung Le!!
thanks for the quick post, for us up in the boonies there is no pay per view, these fight sites are all we got, and this is one of the fastest, my only question is: why not post the entrance and after-fight clips also?, even if they were posted as seperate clips it woulda been nice to see what diaz had to say
Great website, keep up the good work bruno
thanks 4 putting it up so fast
Frank did not show any discernible MMA skills whatsoever– not in striking or grappling. Martial artist, my ass.
shamrock either had the sh*ttiest game plan ever, or he threw that fight.
nice to see diaz win!
hard ta see frank lose at the same time tho!
good sportsmanship at the end after all that, didn’t know diaz had that in him
I know he’s not fighting the greatest in the world, but Nick seems to be getting pretty damn good.
That’s it, it’s over for Shamrock unfortunately… He look really bad out there – very weak and unprepared for anything…. SUCKS!!!
haha..i bet those diaz brothers were burnin a L on the way back to stockton
hahahahahaha yes, u see the way diaz beat him down? i love diaz but hes not even an elite fighter. shamrock is waaaay past his prime, that win cung had over him was overated. idiots saying cung could beat anderson…………
Nick has no head movement!! He resembles Wanderlei in that sense but it worked! That last body shot was amazing..It was mainly a boxing match, good fight!! Nicks got to move his head more if hes going to continue to move up in fight world.
I am amazed that Frank didn’t have a better strategy to deal with the height and reach advantage, given what a veteran technician he is supposed to be. Like Randy Couture, you’d think he would come up with an intelligent game plan. Then again, the bruised ribs just might have limited him too much. Maybe it’s the end of the line.
WASN’T expecting this. Diaz is good. I think Frank just had so much cage rust and was overcome with those long arms that he didn’t know what to do.
Sub-par.
Was that frank in there?
Nick did good…good sport he is.
WAR DIAZ!!
who honestly loved watching Diaz serve Shamrock like that? I sure as hell did.
Shamrock should hang it up!
never saw that coming
wow! the fury of punches!
great how Daiz helped him up at the end. great win.
cung li and diaz next?
sweet fight, it seemed like not many people were giving Diaz a chance. great performance I would love to some him fight KJ Noons again
To all those who doubt Diaz! He is one of the smartest fighters. The way he fights, he makes his apponents attack. Diaz puts little energy behind his punches but forces his apponents to swing for fences with him! Diaz tires his apponents out before putting them out. Diaz bro’s own!
boring
Diaz looked good! shamrock gassed looked like the weight was to low, didn’t seem to have any power or stamina, diaz looked stronger in every area.
Gutted to see frank get a beatin like that but at least diaz gave him the respect he’s due at the end of the fight.
I’m sorry, but the first comment… “nice to see him actually finish his opponent”
Nick Diaz has won his last four fights by stoppage…
Hell yea Nick beat the shit out of him, and this is going up in weight!! I wanna see nick back in the UFC there is no reason for that not to happen.
I’d love to see Nick fight Scott Smith next
not the same shamrock im use to seeing. he should have taken him to the ground. maybe this will wake shamrock up.
bull!! that was a work frank has never threw punches like that he’s was not trying to hurt diaz the punches had nothing on them an they were pulled real boxers know !!he got paid twice as much to lose because the company is folding an frank wanted out of his contract just like kimbo first 3 fights all works! they wanted him to beat a big name too the they can sell tickets!!! that whole company is doo doo!!
This is not the same Shamrock we saw last year… Last year before the whooping by Cung he was on par. I want to see Diaz vs Le that would be really fun!
Diaz is no joke. If you saw his Gomi fight you would have predicted this win. Nick + muscle = fucking dangerous
rawdawgJR
I agree about Nicks head movement. Not much of it ha. Then again he did stick his chin out and just purposefully eat a right hand. Since Frank has numerous injuries he was not aggressive whatsoever. If Nick ever had to face someone explosive like Rashad, Wheeeeeeeeeeewww hed get popped.
Im glad some of you are honest and said you didnt see that coming.
I predicted Diaz would win but not tool Shammy like he did.
A lot of you guys are liars to that before the fight all said Shammy would tool him and now are saying I knew Diaz would win.
Why do you put up IP Addresses??? That is sick!!!!
Bruno:I helps keep people from pretending to be a well known commenter.
don’t be a dick right up until you beat a guy by mocking him in the ring and leading up to the fight and then try and be ‘classy’ by helping him up. you’re either a dick or you’re a good guy. diaz is a dick.
Nick is an elite, anyone who’s beaten Gomi and Lawler is legit…having said that, Frank definitely looked off. I’d like to see Carlos Condit vs. Nick Diaz
Pathetic Fight
Frank had rib injures his wrist did not heal 100 percent and his. Cardio was fatal he took dias like a joke …if dias beat shamrock that easy then cung le is trash over rated
nice boxing.
Yeah Yeah Yeah. I’ve been a huge fan of both for a very long time. It was just the worst match up for Frank. It’s hard for him to deal with some one long like that who’s got a much better reach. he couldn’t penetrate the barrier. And when he tried he was just hit back each time. Would I say Frank is done… hell no. Imo I think Frank should have taken him down once he felt that the rich and quickness was unbeatable.. even if nick is one of the best submission artists
Both of them looked sloppy as fuck. but i have to give nate diaz props, i didnt see that happening
diaz really impressed me. not only in dismantling frank, but the class he showed afterwards.
cant believe i just used ‘diaz’ and ‘class’ in the same sentence.
diaz v. cung le
then
diaz v. lawler
Nick should go back to the ufc
For those surprised, you’re stupid. For this trying to pick apart Nick’s stand-up, your stupid too. Gimme a break, what does he need head movement for when he can take a punch better then 95% of the fighters in MMA, and he has an incredible reach advantage over his opponent? Not a top tier fighter? Really now? Because Gomi, the lightweight wonderboy of Pride, got annihilated by a stoned Diaz. Frank shamrock never had more then a punchers chance, and aparently in his old age, he forgot how. Diaz is gonna be holding a belt before too long, and he deserves it.
And yeah, to further support that emotional comment… Nick diaz has a way better ground game then frank, so Shammy would not want to take it to the ground. And He had reach advantage and superior striking, as the commentators said, Nick competes in professional boxing as well as MMA, so… Diaz was superior in every way, younger, with much better cardio, as he does triathalons on a regular basis. All frank had was strength, with even that being questionable as Diaz has seemed to fill in a bit, so… really had a punchers chance, and he didnt have the reach to throw the punch. This fight was over before it started.
Definetely, Cesar Gracie got a sweet revenge, served by his student. What a beating!!. Shamrock must shut up his mouth forever.
wtf,was that ken and tito at a lighter weight
why should diaz move his head or keep his hands up! frank couldn’t reach him anyhow. nick owned frank. looks like frank misses the juice too. i got a great fight, frank vs. ken in japan full out roid battle. juice them both back into their primes then let them go at it.
I’m glad I didn’t pay to watch this fight.
bunch o b.s.
The Shamrock brothers have been replaced by the Diaz brothers. Seriously though, Nick did great in that fight. It reminded me of the time he KOed Robbie Lawler. His punches look like they don’t do much damage, but they must pack some sting in there.
Diaz would not beat Shamrock in his prime. Enough said! Shamrock is old and gassed out….
You can say whatever about Diaz, but hes a damn warrior. Im beyond convinced he has a granite chin too. Frank landed some solid shots right on the chin and Diaz didnt even budge.
shamrock is old. legend is over
i’m gettin tired of eatin these shit sandwiches, dive! DIVE!
diaz imposed his will on a mentally defeated shamrock.surprising to see him get finished like that.nicks style is direct and hard and he doesnt fully commit to his punches so his cardio doesnt shit the bed.he is a smart intelligent fighter.a bit of head and foot movement wouldnt hurt him though its his personality though,he loves to just stand there and exchange
and anyone who says le cant fight doesnt have a clue.his stand up is unbelievable and he is still only beginning his mma career.if le can establish good jiu jitsu and takedown defence he has the potential to destroy most of not all the middleweights.
best heavyweight:fedor
best lt,heavy:lyoto
best middleweight:anderson 1,cung2
welterweight:gsp
lightweight:bj
featherweight:urijah1,brown 2
bantam:miguel torres.anyone disagree with those rankings?
I like Diaz @ 180=185lbs His punches seem to have more power at this weight…As for Shamrock he was fighting a crafty southpaw after sufferind several injuries from Le,Little bit of rust on his part.
Shamrock will be back he is not done yet!!!!!!!!
its called mind games Jokesmalone … look it up, some of the best tacticians use it. Look at scott smith n Pete Sell (drago) fight, drago gut punched him and wether it really hurt or not, he played possum up until drago ran up for the kill and scott smith slammed him with a good right n put em to bed … nick might have some edicate problems, but all that trash talk is simple strategy u get into someone’s head and they forget about their fight plan, im sure shamrock had one at first, but he musta lost his kool and just gone after nick … and as for the lack of power to frank’s punches, look at the begining of the match and when he got up right after that keylock attempt, he stood right up while nick was still on the ground and tried to put him away then … Prop’s goes out to nick i thought he had a good chance but i didnt think he would win like this (thats if he won the fight of coarse) as for shamrock dont fight again till ur 100% … that way you dont have to add excuses to ur false humbleness …
