UFC welterweight fighter Nate Diaz, a BJJ Black Belt under Cesar Gracie, certainly has the advantage (“on paper”) if the fight goes to the ground. And unlike Rafael Dod Anjos for instance, is extremely dangerous off of his back. He is 6′ 0″ tall and has a 76″ reach, both of which are 3″ advantages over Conor McGregor. Also has 11 Professional Submissions and 4 knockouts in his 18 wins. He is listed as a Boxer and BJJ fighter, and is known for his ability to get into fighters heads with his “F the world” attitude, and approach to fighting.

Here Gilbert Melendez breaks down the keys to victory for both fighters in the upcoming UFC 196 clash. Diaz who is a former lightweight has been floating around the 170 lb limit for a number of fights. McGregor who fights at featherweight and lightweight will make the jump up to welterweight to face his opponent. in what is billed as being one of the biggets non-title fights in the UFC.

We listen in as Gilbert breaks down how he sees the fights playing out. Here he displays some possible ways Diaz can win the fight. Enjoy, Cheers.
