Diaz brothers HAVE sluggish footwork. They have never been complimented for having great footwork.

Thank you idk what people are talking about , Nick is not a UFC legend either. He was super popular outside of the UFC and his UFC record is terrible. Fought bj penn and won , then condit and lost , then Pierre and lost and then fought Anderson Silva which Silva won but later was a no contest. Nick has good boxing , cardio , BJJ and a solid chin but his footwork ain’t all that. Fighters started to use leg kicks against the Diaz brothers because they are so flat-footed so yeah no. So no Diaz is not a UFC legend , MMA legend sure I guess u can put him on THAT list but not a UFC legend.

His really good rank 12 journey man brother nate is more of a UFC legend than him.

You can be an MMA legend without a remarkable UFC career. I don't see any issues with that.

I also think that the current Nick stats are pretty much what his prime version should be as well.

Yeah nick was stronger than he should be in ufc3 imo and i feel like his stats is more correct now. Thank god punchpower/speed is divided from kicks.

I think Diaz and Anderson Silva should get the legend treatment.

I know I know Anderson is still fighting but there was precedence set in the previous game with two different Rondas.

Also I believe legend Dan Henderson deserves better takedowns

Because he was never that good to begin with

Uhhhhh that’s what I said. I said mma legend sure but not a UFC Vet or Legend. U can’t count a man as a legend in the UFC if he has done piss poor in the UFC. Nate is more of legend in the UFC than nick.

Honestly when i made this post i had some pretty bad tunnel vision on tjat 84 footwork. Makes him unusable online. Make it an 89 and I'll love u forever phillyboi
