It is very simple to overlook that while Nate Diaz won his share of TUF (TV Series), in what was a fluke, as after a backward and forward first round, his opponent Manny Gamburyan was impelled to tap out after re-exasperating current shoulder damage.

However, Diaz did win his next two battles in a dominant fashion, by stunningly submitting Junior Assuncao and Alvin Robinson. However, in mid 2008 experts were still not convinced as to whether he could cut it at the top level of this sport.

And it was not until Fight Night 13, that Nate Diaz proved his competence for the first class level. The UFC fighter faced his hardest adversary to date, Kurt Pellegrino who had a record of 3-1 in the UFC and was a prevalent wrestler and a Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu dark belt.

In the first round, Pellegrino’s experience gave off an impression of being obvious, as regardless of being an even round when it came to hooking, Pellegrino was the one doing the majority of the harm with his ground-based striking.

In the 2nd round, Nate Diaz caught his opponent in a stifle. Seconds into this stifle, Pellegrino was compelled to feebly tap out, however it was the nature of Diaz’s excellent finishing technique that made it a great Diaz moment.

This finish also stays a standout amongst the most paramount in UFC history over 10 years on. And, after this win, Diaz was prepared for the top level, and there was no uncertainty about his wild disposition, as well.
