So after watching nate diaz fight so many times in the UFC, I'm beginning to think that, unlike his brother, his you vs me attitude is just another tool he uses to get into his opponents head. By this I mean that some fights he really uses it against his opponent, see Donald Cerrone, but with others he's generally calm and sometimes even respectful of them, see Jim Miller. So because of this I call Nate Diaz's bad attitude fake, and just another clever ploy that makes him just that much better as a fighter. I just want to make it clear, I'm not saying that Nate is fake or that he's not for real as a fighter, I'm actually saying he's more bad ass and smart than anyone has given him credit for. So go Nate, keep using those mind tricks man!

As long as he can keep his head on straight enough to know when to actually show up for fights and not have marijuana in his system.
