Nick Diaz Vs Thomas Denny MMA Video EliteXC

Nick Diaz is the man.

Oh uh, Brandon. He did fight and kick this one guy’s ass that was pretty good….I think his name was TAKANORI GOMI.

Nick diaz represents for all the pot heads lol.

you mean like the times hes fought sherk, gomi, sanchez, lawler?

Don’t be scared homie

That was one of the sloppiest most pitiful excuses for a fight I’ve seen since Kimbo and J.T.

CBS continues to do a disservice to MMA. at 5:58 denny threw his last punch, at 6:10 he was pounded to the ground, and at 6:15 (after being destroyed for 17 seconds) the reff finaly stopped it. i hope my favorite sport doesn’t bite it because of these bush league idiots scaring casual fans away.

I disagree Kyle. He did beat Gomi but not badly. Look at Gomi’s face and his face after the fight. That and Gomi rocked him in the first. The reason Gomi lost was becasue his cardio was horrid and when that happened his punches wern’t so on point anymore and that’s when Diaz started landing punches which did very little damage to Gomi and in the end Gomi just couldn’t go on and got caught.

We all know how bad a fight starts performing when they gas and you can’t tell me Gomi’s lost wasn’t because of that.

Got some real dumbasses coming to this site lately. Diaz bro are the best. Nick as been making a point with his last few fights to beat the guy with boxing. He’s going to punch a hole into KJ.
He has awesome boxing and top shelf bjj. His punches do look like slow motion tho.

All you “punx” that are disrespectin on the diaz brothers, get over yourselves. Nick has proven himself on a few occassions, hes not an amature, or a shitty fighter. But he is a pothead, who will never reach his full potential cuz i dont think he really gives a shit like he should. And Ken… the casual fans being scared away? These are two guys trying to knock each other the fuck out, if someone cant understand that… they shouldn’t watch. This isn’t a karate sparring contest with a bunch of kids… these are grown ass men.

I always liked Nick Diaz, I like the way he fights, but he’d better start re-learning defense and head movement. I give him credit though, the guy comes to fight.

BTW, I totally agree with Ken’s comment. The fight was stopped waaay too late. If some fighter were to get seriously injured or killed by accident in the course of a clean, well-refereed match, the sport could survive that. But when the organizations making the money off the fighters allow a guy to wail on someone long after he’s finished, maybe so they can have that brutal “money shot” clip to promote their brand, or to promote a certain fighter, not only are they doing a disservice to the sport, and putting its continued success in jeopardy, but they’re putting fighters health and livelihood and their LIVES at risk.
Maybe the ref is just a complete idiot — whatever, that was an appalling finish.

Protect the fighers, EliteXC. It’s a tough sport, yeah, but no one should be taking gratuitous blows more well after he’s completely unable to defend himself. If Thomas Denny died from those blows, there’d be endless replay of that finish on TV news — those punches in that “exciting” finish would amount to hammering nails into the coffin of the sport, and it’d be hard — make that *impossible* for any public official or journalist to defend the legitimacy of the sport.

I don’t like the way the UFC controls the, uhhh, storyline around the belts (*cough cough*) but at least their refs look out for the fighters, and get the hell in there fast at the right moment — give or take.

Elite’s trying to get an edge in the prurient idiot market at the expense of fighters’ health. Shayna Baszler too — there was no need for her to continue to take that abuse in the last part of her fight. She was obviously overmatched at that point, so the ref’s job is to step in there and protect her, not make more money from the mouth-breather demographic.

Ken, stop being a pussy, the stoppage was spot on. This is MIXED MARTIAL ARTS FIGHTING. A tough, brutal sport like it should be - and you’re here saying we should water it down and appease the ‘casual’ fan. Screw that! It’s been toned down enough, first it was headbutts, then soccer kicks and stomps (how I miss pride), what do you want next? No elbows?! The ref jumping in at the slightest bit of blood or a good hit!? Bloody Hell! Grow some balls or stop watching MMA if you think pandering to mainstream is a good thing for my most beloved sport. Let fighters be fighters and let them use as many tools as possible and let the refs do their job. Josh did a perfect job then.

Good Fight!

The fight should not have been stopped any earlier than it was. Many fighters in Denny’s position have come back to win fights after being rocked. That’s why the sport is so exciting. When Denny went down the last time he tried to get in his gaurd position, which the ref saw, but it was too late. He was already done. The ref should give a fighter a chance to defend themselves in that position and that’s what the ref did.

As far as Nick Diaz goes, it’s true that he’s a thug but no one can argue with his skills. If he had a coach that could discipline him better he would be unstoppable. He’s a bit too cocky but he is one of the most entertaining fighters out there. If some people are turned off by his attitude…oh well. The sport is still better with him than without him.

You fucking idiots the last 20 seconds of the fight he was out on his feet. “Oh, he was pulling guard”- he was holding his head with one hand as if he had an awful headache. That’s not intelligently defending himself.
Get over yourself, your name’s fucking Andy for christ-sakes.

I always find it funny when average joe’s talk shit to a guy who could clearly kick the shit out of them. No one is twisting your arm to watch it.

The stoppage was fine. Maybe it should have been stopped after the first time Diaz slugged him on the ground, but not before that.

WAR DIAZ FAMILY

EBD - You made some good points with a well reasoned and thought out response. If everyone responded in such a manner it would be great.

I’ll agree to disagree, but I appreciate your side of the argument.

There have been tens of thousands of fights in MMA history, and hundreds of finishes more brutal than that, but only 1 death. Hell, WAY more people die riding horses in equestrian events. Yes I know there is a ’stigma’ attached to MMA, but I’m afraid if we want the sport to remain like it is, we just have to HOPE that a fighter doesn’t die. Fighting is fighting, it’s a dangerous sport and all fighters know that they risk serious injury doing what they do. The refs do the best job they can between allowing a fighter good chance to recover and deciding if they have had enough. It’s a line ball decision. There is no strict ‘rule’.

Denny’s stoppage may have been a little late yes, but it was hardly severe. And hindsight is a perfect science. At the time, I think Josh’s call was right.

But one thing is we should not change things too much just to become ‘accepted’.

Peace.

To all the assholes who think this fight was a sham because of the ref supposedly taking his time to stop the fight, Denny kept swinging, he didn’t want to go down. If he decides not to go down and continues to throw punches, he’s gonna get knocked some more until he decides to like he did in the 2nd round.

As well, Nick Diaz is nothing but class A fighting. He’s got hands almost like Silva, where he can get them in little holes and right on the button. I really want to see him dedicate a fight to the ground along with stand-up to show his true versatility to the fans that haven’t witnessed it.

Total domination. Nick is the man.

kimboslam, you are really going to talk with a name like kimbo slam?? listen the day you jump off the mma bandwagon let me know so I can tell the driver to reverse and go over you one more time.
