Summary: Like his older brother Nick, Diaz is not the most technical striker. However, he keeps coming at you while throwing an endless array of punches, which used to be quite fast but are now only slightly faster than average. He can do this for all 25 minutes if necessary, thanks to his endless cardio, and his all-time great chin allows him to weather shots from such a risky approach.
