5 reasons why the Diaz brothers are must-watch television

#2 The Diaz brothers always fight top-tier competition

UFC 244 Masvidal v Diaz

Largely due to their entertaining personalities but also because of their supreme MMA skills, the Diaz brothers have always fought top-tier competition.

While Nick has fought the likes of Frank Shamrock, Paul Daley, BJ Penn, Carlos Condit, Georges St-Pierre, Anderson Silva, Takanori Gomi, Diego Sanchez and many others, Nate has taken on names like Leon Edwards, Jorge Masvidal, Anthony Pettis, Conor McGregor, Rafael dos Anjos, Benson Henderson, Donald Cerrone and Rory MacDonald.

The Diaz brothers' fights are entertaining not only because of their involvement in it but also because of the stature of the men standing across from them in the octagon. Despite being on the receiving end of a lot of damage, they have never shied away from their competition and have been willing to face any opponent at any time.

#1 The Diaz brothers are "kill or be killed" while fighting

Nick Diaz's underwhelming loss to Robbie Lawler aside, the Diaz brothers have a "kill or be killed" attitude to fighting. They represent the true warriors of the fight game as two men who have absorbed a lot of damage over their careers and have only rarely been knocked out.

Nick Diaz engaged in several comeback wins during his time in Strikeforce and other promotions, often showing great heart and resolve after being dropped. Nate, on the other hand, is known for pushing a relentless pace and using his iron chin to outlast his opponent in wars.

Triathletes who revolutionized fighters' approach to MMA, the Diaz brothers have never been hesitant to engage in tough battles and have almost never been part of boring fights. They satiate the bloodlust of MMA fans more than almost every fighter in the history of the sport, and are hence must-watch.
