Joe Rogan Highlights Nick Diaz`s Impact on MMA
Joe Rogan often discusses top fighters on his popular podcast.
Back in 2020, Rogan explained how Diaz “changed the game” during his prime.
“Nick Diaz changed the game with his incredible cardio,” Rogan told former UFC fighter Josh Thomson.
“He introduced something new: instead of aiming for 100% power, he would hit with 50% power but twice as often, never letting his opponents breathe.
“He would stay relentless, talking to you the entire time, messing with you psychologically, disrupting your breathing with constant strikes. Once he sensed you were hurt, he would target the body and overwhelm you.”
