In his recent Podcast, Joe was seen praising Nick for taking the sport to another level, and that too because of his introduction to the world that cardio plays an important role in the fight. Nick was known for his pace and the ways he use to beat guys just based on elite cardio skills.

“Nick Diaz changed the game in terms of his elite cardio,” Rogan said in a recent episode of his “Joe Rogan Podcast.” “He did something that was a new thing and that new thing was, he’s not gonna hit you with a hundred percent power, he’s gonna hit you with 50 percent. But he’s gonna hit you twice as much, and you’re never going to get to breathe, and he’s gonna stay on top of you, and he’s gonna talk to you the whole time. Psychologically he’s going to disrupt your breathing by constantly hitting you and once he realizes you’re hurt, then he’s digging to the body, then he’s putting it on you. On top of that, blackbelt jiu-jitsu skills, really good wrestling takedown defense, chin made of iron, and unstoppable will.”

He continued, “Those guys (Diaz brothers) do a lot of triathlons. That’s one of the reasons why they’re so durable. That’s why they’re always in insane shape. They don’t get tired like everybody else gets tired. They have insane endurance.”
