\nIt wasn’t that long ago Nate Diaz was stopped with strikes for the first time in his professional career.<\/p>\n

Josh Thomson landed a perfectly timed headkick and the Diaz corner threw in the towel in the midst of Nate’s recovery.<\/p>\n

During this week’s media events the younger Diaz discussed his recent loss, throwing in the towel and what a beating is worth, financially to a fighter.<\/p>\n

Check it:<\/p>\n

“I ain’t mad at [Nick]. He was doing what he thought was right. He was like ‘I don’t want to see my brother take no shots. I don’t think they pay us well enough to be taking f***ing ass whoopings like this.’\u00a0I didn’t feel like the fight should be ended, but that’s just my opinion. And if I was watching from the outside I probably would have thought, too ‘oh yea, that didn’t really look good.’ But the only people who know are people in that fight.\u00a0I felt I was defending myself a little bit but I watched it, too. It didn’t look good. It looked like it was time to throw in the towel so I agree with it.”<\/em><\/p>\n

“I’m sure Junior dos Santos’ coaches were probably thinking ‘we should throw the towel in’ but didn’t. Later that night they probably thought ‘f**k man, I feel really bad. We just let our friend get his ass whooped.’ He’s a soldier, he wasn’t going to quit. A fighter ain’t gonna quit. That’s when it’s up to your friends and your brothers to not let you die.”<\/em><\/p>\n
