DEADLOCK Watch This #221
PRIDE NEVER DIE!!!
On this edition of WATCH THIS, the boys were excited to prepare themselves for Nick Diaz's return to the octagon, but turns out, that didn't happen! But, that doesn't take away from the fact that this is one of the most fun fights of all time. This highly acclaimed battle between Nick Diaz and Takanori Gomi takes place at PRIDE 33 in 2007.

Nick Diaz inventing Hell's Gate is crazy
Gomi applied the Rocky Balboa strat (blocking with his head)
Bro was blocking with his head and just didnt give a fuck
Man the gogoplata was like rare
That amazing finish is also known as the "No Contest" because the winner tested WAY too high for THC.
Snap Gogoplata finish in competitive MMA is crazy
need that PRIDE sgh
Also some extra info: because this show was in vegas the fighters weren't allowed knees or kicks to a grounded opponent but because it was pride they still didnt allow elbows to the grounded opponent either. Gomi was pretty much lightweight tito ortiz he liked ground and pound had orange and blonde hair and wore badboy shorts with flame. Nick got his orbital bone broken in this fight and people were saying that he was so high it helped him not feel the pain from it that was my favorite rumor
gomi was not like tito ortiz literally at all. he was a wrestler but liked to stand almost exclusively. he was terrible on the ground. wtf is this post lol.
I WAS AT THIS SHOW i met butterbean in a buffet and then met jens pulver. Harrison ford was also in the audience
i think the pride announcer did the intros for Tekken 8
Yeah she did
I wanna see the boys watch some pancrase
Shout out Pancrase legend Shadow the Hedgehog
pride fucking rules lmao. y'all seriously need to watch more pride
This fight changed Undertakers entire career
Fucking love the gogoplata sick ass finish
Damn wonder if booger red got inspiration from this fight
Undertaker saw that finish in 2007 and it changed his whole life
FUCK YEAH PLEASE MORE PRIDE!!! IM HEARING IT NEVER DIED!?!? Also if im remembering the right interview he said he was high as hell and was like “fuck it imma go for the gogoplata (omoplata maybe?)”
Bruh i used to cheese the plata moves from rubber guard in all ufc games until they added the slam feature in ufc 4 and made it dangerous to use
Napoleon Blownapart's videos on Pride make me wish I knew of its existance before it ended, this shit MEANS SOMETHING TO ME
That was a Gogoplata aka Da Hellll's Gate!
that plata was gorgeous
Bro was high and still managed to pull off a quick-thinking triangle choke that’s a fucking monster
Its a gogoplata. Triangle goes around the head the plata used shin as a forearm to choke him out
My favorite fighter of all time. I sincerely hope that Nick can deal with whatever he's going through and make his return to the ring.
That triangle at the end was fucking insane
Nick Diaz whipped out the Hell's Gate thats crazy. I was ready for a chokeslam post match too
1:07 This is the Tekken 8 trailer announcer isn't it?
Yes, Lenne Hardt. She's awesome
Diaz was going for the No-Blocking Bonus.
He put him in da Hell's Gate
Huh, 2007! Commentator really sounded like Matt Striker so I was thoroughly confused
Pride. Never. Die.
This shit meant something to me for real
This right here, is my shit! Primal as fuck brother!
I fuck with Gomi’s “block every punch with my chin” strategy heavy
Then you'll LOVE Kazuyuki Fujita, the dude that got punched in the head by Ken Shamrock until Shamrock had a goddamn heart attack!
This is that SHIT, DOG.
Love that the PRIDE lady is still finding work in stuff like Tekken 8
What a sick fight!
Gomi was looking like he was having an exhausting conversation on the phone when Nick was throwing consecutive hooks to his temple- what a beast
pride fighter intros were the best
Gomi is the fucking coolest, he looks concussed 99% of the time and just never stops eating punches
The Diaz brothers were gods of this shit, don’t care what anybody says
Can’t wait for DPW SuperFight division
Nick with the Hell’s gate 😂 (gogoplata)
So if y’all didn’t know. Gomi fought Nate prior to this and beat him while dropping his hands. Then he tried it on Nick too. I just saw video about this on MMA point
CTE NEVER DIE
no clue if they reacted to it or not, but would love to see the reaction to lesnar vs carwin
Aww fffFUCK I love the Diazman Brother #1
Gogoplata cheese
losing to the hells gate is fucking nuts
PUT SOME BUTTER ON IT
YEAH YOU LIKE THAT
HELLS GATE
Eating gummies with gomi
I was literally rewatching the Kimbo Watch This episodes and then this is uploaded. Very equal equal quality fights
Looks like Christmas has come early boys
PRIDE NEVR DIE! MORE PRIDE!
watchin shoot fights with da boys. what more could a girl ask for this holiday season
PRIDE NEVAH DIE!!!!!!
The Undertaker's favorite match
No blocking, eat punches, Yakuza says take this to the 2nd round strategy is based as hell!
YEEAAAHHHH THIS IS THE STAY OFF THE WEED FIGHT!!! also, Takanori Gomi is horrifically slept on by newer MMA fans. always came to swang n bang, huge for newer Japanese MMA guys who came up like Yusuke Yachi and Chihiro Suzuki
The Diaz brothers be killin' you. Would you ever fight one of 'em?
Welcome to Diaz brothers fighting. They both box the exact same way. It looks like theyre super slow and light, but its super effective
YEAAHHHH!!!!! PRIDE NEVER DIE!!! You guys should react to human science experiment Bob Sapp vs Nogueira
I screamed in joy upon seeing the boys covering my favorite PRIDE fighter
OH MY
Nick Diaz is NOT coming back to fight. Fight got canceled after they found him tweaking on a sidewalk.
Crazy to think this was their last show
Second to last actually. Their actual last show had Jeff Monson ("you like watching people get fucked for free?"), Don Frye and Butterbean on the same card. If that isn't PRIDE in a nutshell, I don't know what is.
