The initial BJ takedown, Nick counter roll, BJ reversal, Nick defending, BJ taking the back and Nick switching, is amazing. Jui Jitsu masters showing off.

Damn man I got tears in my eyes over this fight. Mostly because I remember watching it live, I was just a teenager. Fast forward to last year, I did everything I could to go see Nate fight at UFC 279. I was kind of broke but I made it happen because I needed to see one of the Diaz bros fight live in my lifetime. Boy was it worth it... These men should be treated like royalty. They put their health on the line to give us a show. And as a huge fan of MMA, I am forever indebted

Ufc screwed us kicking out diaz for 5 years can only wish to see him do this

Lucky for Penn this wasn’t a 5 round match

That was one of the best UFC fights of all time.

Nick Diaz's striking is unbelievable and very accurate

How the fuck did bj survive the last 2 rounds?. It looked like he went out on his feet a couple times, but he didnt go down once. These men are absolute warriors. Mad respect.

How godly his cardio was. That pace’s crazy AF

To do that to BJ Penn says a lot Nick is so underrated!!!

Knowing how upset Diaz was to have to take this fight just makes watching it that much harder. He didn’t want to hurt his friend man.

This was the tony ferguson vs Justin gaethje fight 10 years ago lmao just watching one of our favorite fighters who’s never been beaten up get violently beaten down by the brawler of the division.

"Good old fashion brawl" Couldnt have said it any better🔥

Nick whooped his ass but man bj had fucking heart dude pressed forward in that last round I can see why he was champion at two weights

Nick and Nate have totally different styles but they both have hearts of a lion

This is crazy. Bj was on the fence getting destroyed. How was he still standing?! Rewatching 7 months later. Bj honestly gained a big fan after seeing this.

the audio sounds like it’s from the ufc video game series lol. the audio is just timed so perfectly it makes it sound like the game. crazy!

First off, thank you for posting this fight homie!! This is why BJ has such a glass jaw these days. Hopefully cte doesn’t kick in too badly. Good thing this wasn’t a 5 rounder.

Nick destroyed BJ. 2 pioneers of MMA & my personal favorites. They both fought this one like true warriors I really think this fight was more brutal than most realize.

wouldnt have guessed that nick wouldve tried applying clinches like he did. diaz came out with a whole new flow in the 2nd and 3rd rounds.

This was prime Diaz with Penn on the down side of his career. Sadly a reoccurring issue in Penns career was preperation, nó Marinonich, a weight higher and as Diaz said the night before the fight stuffing himself with ribs wasn't gonna help, interestingly Nick said pork pre fight has a terrible negative effect on the body performing. Valiant effort by Bj though, just the wrong time and wrong weight to fight Nick. Props to Diaz, very disciplined

God damn we forgot how good both these men were the flexibility is amazing

thanks for the post. tremendous fight!

He was the worst stylistic nightmare for BJ... Have good boxing? Nick's is better. Have a black belt in BJJ? Nick's came from a better teacher.. Mediocre cardio? Diaz is a triathlete

500 X 70% power punches are always better than 80 X 100% power punches. The Diaz Bros do cardio assasinations.

i want to be like you nick diaz.

Nick should have been getting McGregor money from noon 2 fight onwards.

Great heart by them both. Nick never disappoints me I. His fight loose win or draw. Just calculated so well..Good fight boys.

bro could u upload all the main card fights of ufc 280 i wanna watch those fights again they were insane

This classic never gets old.

Never was a big BJ Penn fan but you gotta respect the guy. He's fearless

Nick was elite here

two legends going at it. love to see it

My first diaz fight I ever seen I didn't know him this fight I was going for bj Penn . Diaz For Sure Gained A Fan After This Fight

The Diaz Brothers fight like cats playing with their food 😂

Nick & Chael Sonnon, 2 of my favorite fighters. Don't always win, but will fight anyone.

LEGENDARY! I love the old school days! These guys made UFC what it is today. They stand on the shoulders of these legendary warriors!

Love how the Diaz bros are old school. Talking massive crap before the fight, and a hug/handshake after to end the beef.

One of the best fights ever. This is a legendary fight

God damn. Just legendary.

Name of the Intro Song please ?

One of my favorite all times brawls Prime Nick a monster fan since Rockstar His boxing that part

One the the best fights in ufc history hands down

Two of my favorite fighters to watch. Their skill level is off the charts. The thing with BJ is he never committed to being in the best shape possible. Cardio is king in this sport. Also, Nick in his life has known what it's like not to have any food, for instance. There is a desperation he fights with. And I don't think BJ has ever known that desperation.

One of the best fight

The ref took a page from Boxing's book with that 'keep them away from each other' thing at the beginning of the second round. 😂

Old skool scrap pack .....fkn love it .....👊🏾

That back take by bj was awesome for being older and significantly smaller with a cardio disadvantage I think he did pretty good I wonder if they fought earlier in their careers who would’ve won

Two amazing BJJ fighters

first round, nick originally seemed to have better striking but he couldnt really get comfortably composed for the rest of the round after he was taken down.

I love the old days.....

It’s crazy how big nick looks in comparison to bj

Did anyone notice stich from the rocky movies is bjs corner man. Legend.

Who's DJ?

Lol "DJ Penn". Smart.

He said his before he was as big of a name as he is. Coming from stockton and To say he wouldnt do it for millions and millions shows you how fucking real he is.

Love the Diaz brothers. They always handle their game like great fighters.

Thank you

Please somebody makes a video about getting cardio like Diaz.

Its hard to believe this fight was over a decade ago 😥 and their "era" is done & over with now.

I just love to see Nick Diaz in motion Real artist at work Only few flows like that Mcgregor in his prime was also joy to watch Anderson Silva or Stephen Thompson

Nick was the man. 👊🇺🇸

I don't care what anyone says, Diaz brothers can bring it, they don't ever give up, all fight in them, and the capabilities to beat anyone.😊

No kicks no boring ground shit no stalling in the clinch and hands flying I miss this UFC

Essa luta foi top Posta do GSP vs Nick diaz

We didn’t know how good we had it until it was gone

What year was this fight??🤔

prolly my favorite diaz fight.or the noons 2 fight

Nick and Nate are GRINDERS with a kill or be killed mindset,never give up till your dead.Neither had big power but their Cardio has always been phenomenal.Prob Great to have a sparring partner that's nearly your equal when they trained together.Granted this older BJ but he got so worn down by the constant pressure

He called him Dj penn at the open 😂

15:15

Nick is one of my heroes I swear this dude is such a consummate professional

Quick as lightning

DJ Penn burnin' up the mix for the rave crave

nick and nate fight the SAME way it's wild

This is one of my favorite fights from Nick Diaz. Dudes a warrior. Respect!

Could you imagine if the Diaz brothers had real knockout power! They would have zero losses imo

Nick lit him up like a Christmas tree ! Team Diaz Rocks !

Did BJ break his right hand at 9:15? Seems to be bothered by something after that cross

The UFC should bring back Goldie for one night

😮 the boxing 🥊 of Nate🔥🔥

Back into it

The way nickndiaz rubbed bjs head after the fight seemed kinda disrespectful lol

I feel like the meaner the Diaz’ are to their opponents the more respect they have for them

Crazy how they fight the exact same way, I know they're brothers but damn

Commentator: “two of the most successful martial artists of All Time” lol

Is it titled DJ Penn on purpose, or is it just a misspelling?

This started my deftones arc (I’m still in it)

The greatest show on earth

Really wish the ufc would have embraced the diaz brothers like they did connor and Rhonda....

He's saying come on is that all U got

I love how it says DJ Penn and no one is talking abt it

Love the way he touches his head after that war

This was a great fight.

Where you at George!!?? 😂

Diaz and BJ are good friends. Diaz didn't want to fight BJ.

8:31 The difference in breathing between the two. 20:46 That first left is so tricky.

This was before All UFC Main event was 5 rounds bout, would of been nice for this fight....

This video has been up for one year and you can’t spell BJ’s name ?

Bj had no business going into that 3rd round

Joe Rogan is WAY BETTER at announcing Fights. Hearing him call this fight after just hearing him call a fight just last week Big difference. Keep pushing forward brother ✊
