We were hanging out in Charter Way, which wasn't too nice of a neighborhood in Stockton. We got into an altercation, and one of our friends got shot in the arm. Everyone took off. We threw our friend in the car and we're driving to the hospital. It was me, Nathan and our friend. It was just crazy.
There was blood all over the car, but he made it. He recalls grappling sessions under the watchful eyes of former Strikeforce champion Jake Shields , who coached Melendez, and Nick Diaz.
My first encounters with Nate were grappling on the mat with him. They were very silent and quiet sessions, and we just followed the direction of our coaches. As it went on, we really connected because we had a lot of fun and would laugh, and we were just similar. We enjoyed the ride. I don't think our goals were to be the toughest in the world at the time. We were kind of the comic relief with Jake and Nick being so damn serious. That's how Nate is.
He's a big leader, he's a big captain. But he also just keeps everyone really connected. He lights up a room when he comes in. Not just because of who he is or what he's done, but even before that. He just had that with his boys and his team. Until this day, he keeps true to that. I worked with him for years during my professional boxing career, especially when I fought a lefty.
He provided some of the most difficult work I've had as a professional. He's left-handed, and I don't normally have issues with left-handers, but Nate is awkward. He throws a lot of punches from awkward angles.
And the Stockton Slap is real, bro. It's not like it hurts. It's just disrespectful. Like, you really hit me with that? And then boom, boom.
He hits you with more shots. It's more volume than it is power. And he doesn't get tired. He can take it, he can dish it out. I had to bring my A-game every time. He obviously doesn't love doing media, but he has gotten better. The UFC used to be horrible about photos. Now they take like 15 minutes from when you show up to when you leave. But it used to take like two hours, if you were lucky. Nate was right before me and was sick of waiting.
So he left and ran like 6 miles back to the hotel in Las Vegas. They didn't realize he was gone for a while and had to track him down, and he made them send another car to go and pick him up.
I was dying laughing and knew exactly how he felt. Maynard James Keenan is a multiple-Grammy-winning singer, songwriter and musician. He is best known as the lead singer of Tool. He's also a Brazilian jiu-jitsu purple belt. I've rolled Brazilian jiu-jitsu with Nate a little bit.
Well, he rolled on me. He tossed me around like a rag doll. We did what resembled rolling. When you're rolling with somebody like Nate Diaz -- and I would imagine someone like Demian Maia -- it's a whole different level of understanding of the art. I could get into geeky specific stuff, but really just watching the transitions. You have to learn them and feel them. It was quite the "Holy s, I have so much to learn.
You can see, whatever adjustment he just made there's five submissions from right there and he didn't even bother taking them. It was just staring us all in the face and it was like, "Oh god.
I was staying in his guesthouse for a few weeks, there to help him before his fight with Benson Henderson in I'm a pretty good grappler as well. So we were kind of going, and it was a stalemate.
He was like, "Who is this guy? He has crazy endurance. That was funny. No clock. I was like, "Oh man. And he eats really healthy. It was after the fight; I went to McDonald's. Nick came over and was like, "Whose McDonald's is that? Like I just committed a crime or something. They were like, "Who got a Gatorade? Regardless of their numerous controversies outside of the cage, Nick and Nate remain and will go down in history as two of the most unique warriors of all time.
