Nate Diaz dominates Takanori Gomi, wins by armbar

source: mmafighting.com

In a 2007 Pride fight, Nick Diaz established himself as one of the rising stars in mixed martial arts by beating the great lightweight champion Takanori Gomi. On Saturday night in Denver, it was Nick's little brother Nate Diaz who put on a great performance against Gomi, winning a first-round submission at UFC 135.

The Gomi of today isn't the same fighter as the Gomi of 2007, and so Nate Diaz's victory on Saturday isn't as significant as Nick Diaz's victory of the Pride days. But Nate Diaz looked as good as he's ever looked on Saturday night, battering Gomi in the stand up for most of the first round before eventually getting him to the ground, sinking in a triangle choke from his back and then transitioning to an arm bar that made Gomi tap.

Wat? Is this a joke I didn't get? Nate fought like Nick last night? If so - hah. I honestly thought that Nick was the better fighter and that since his fight was so close with Gomi, Nate would lose. Nate just decimated Gomi standing and then pulled off the beautiful finish; was glad to be wrong.

Good Job Nate, just think this could have happened against the So-called 2nd best P4P champion in the world, GSP.Too bad you F'd it up for all of you fans and sponsors because you lack maturity and discipline.

TD defense is the kryptonite for the Diaz bro's and that is their only weakness.

Beautiful work by Nate Diaz. He was looking really good in the past fights, in the last fight he just when against a much stronger and very skilled fighter in Rory Mcdonald.
