He has come a long way since learning to use Velcro shoes (nearly 6 years to graduate to lace-ups) and can even read an entire pop-up book all by himself. Progress of Nate's education are clearly seen in TUF when he scrawls 2, 0 and 9 everywhere demonstrating the pride he had memorizing his own area code. Unfortunately, he cannot yet dial his own phone number as he has failed to commit the remaining seven digits to memory. The Diaz brothers also dominated most events at the '07 Special Olympics.

(and i'm a HUGE fan of Nate) 1 ... Diaz is "under-developed" physically, like # 7 revjames13 Says, HOWEVER ... his BJJ is "sick" ... that kid is a phenom 2 ... he probalby will, and does, get man-handled/thrown around because of this, but MAN, watch-out when this kid grows into his frame. alittle more muscle on this kid and some steady standup (which we haven't seen yet) and he WILL be a TERROR !!! (heck, he already is, but i'm a big fan of his) Thanks NATE, for some of the most exciting fights in the UFC ... you da man! 2 points … (and i’m a HUGE fan of Nate)
