Nate Diaz Talks Wrestling and Scoring in MMA

“Sometimes it comes down to less fighting will win you the round. Sometimes maybe we need to fight less to win the round.”

“There’s round-winners and there’s fighters. You know, but in order to be a good UFC fighter or cage fighter I guess I’ve got to learn how to win the rounds. You’ve got to not fight. That’s what I’m saying. You’ve got to score. Apparently I’ve got to grab him and hold him, otherwise he’ll just grab and hold me.”

“Everybody is like, ‘you need to work on your wrestling’. Maybe I don’t need to work on my wrestling. Maybe I just need to do the wrestling and not the fighting.”
