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

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.

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.

Lucky for Penn this wasn’t a 5 round match

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

Nick Diaz's striking is unbelievable and very accurate

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

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

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.

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

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!

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.

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.

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.

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

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

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

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

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

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.

thanks for the post. tremendous fight!

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

Nick was elite here

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

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

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

i want to be like you nick diaz.

two legends going at it. love to see it

This classic never gets old.

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

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

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 😂

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

Nick was the man. 👊🇺🇸

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

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

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

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.

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.

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.

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

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

Essa luta foi top Posta do GSP vs Nick diaz

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. 😂

Please somebody makes a video about getting cardio like Diaz.

One of the best fight

He in just a freaking animal. never stops going forward!

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

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

Name of the Intro Song please ?

15:15

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

Thank you

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

Two amazing BJJ fighters

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

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

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

prolly my favorite diaz fight.or the noons 2 fight

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

God damn. Just legendary.

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.😊

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

Just saw the video were Nick Diaz said " I didn't want have fougt someone I'm really aquatinted with idc how much money you put in front of me I don't fight my friends but he (BJ Penn) signed the contract first.

How come this wasn’t a 5 round fight when it’s a main event?

BJ looked anxious and unconfident, you can see it in his eyes from his walk out to the start. Don't know if it's the fact that he was fighting his friend and knew Nick blamed him for that cuz BJ signed the contract first, but this mental aspect might have played.

Who's DJ?

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

DJ...couldn't you get in there and edit that, bro? After 200k hits? pretty gangster I suppose

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

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

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

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 ✊

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

nick dont even need to use his hands to block just uses shoulders lol

DJ, Demetrious Johnson Penn? Wrong title OP.

It's obvious that whoever posted this video has really no idea of who these men are , if they knew anything about Mister Penn , they would know that his name is not DJ , IT'S BJ . Don't disrespect the fighter !!

Nick was way better than Nate Danm

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

DJ Penn burnin' up the mix for the rave crave

Lol "DJ Penn". Smart.

I honestly never knew BJ Penn had a twin brother named DJ.

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

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

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

Is DJ Penn the older or younger brother of BJ Penn??????

I have never seen this fight I've always been a fan more of Nate Diaz but I thought I would check out a few of Nick's videos and of course with BJ Penn it's gonna be a hit. I have to say I agree Bruce buffer is the best on the Mike hands down and Joe rogan is the best commentator in MMA in my humble opinion

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

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

I love the old days.....

The nostalgia bias I have for Goldie is crazy. I think to myself, “he wasn’t so bad,” and then he says something like, “that’s a great way of putting it Joe, ‘back expert.’”

Saw this fight when it happened. I sure do miss Greeney. I don't think BJ has ever lost the first round of any fight, and therein lies the problem, haha. He caught Diaz with some nice shots and got him swell/cut above Diaz's right eye. BUT- Diaz's tank is world renowned and Penn fades after the first. I always wondered how BJ would've done had he trained at America Top Team or some other org instead of just staying in Hawaii. 2 great fighters and a pretty good showing by both.

This was a great fight.

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

What year was this fight??🤔

Back into it
