The Ultimate Fighter 5 results Episode 10 - Nate Diaz
|
Winner: Nate Diaz
As I thought, Nate Diaz came out on top, but was very surprised to see Nate Diaz get dominated by Hill early. Diaz was so focused on taking Cory Hill down and getting a leg lock that he ate some punches and gave Hill the confidence to use his wrestling take down skills. Hill he took Diaz down in the middle of the round but his inexperience was the beginning of the end.
Once on the ground Hill couldn’t figure out how to center himself. Diaz, who has excellent Jiu Jitsu like his brother Nick Diaz, rotated his hips and used his flexibility to flip his legs over Cory’s shoulders. Initially it looked like he was going to go for a shoulder lock, but eventually was able to pull Cory into a triangle choke. Cory almost pulled out but Diaz pulled Cory’s head down and forced Hill’s tap shortly after.
