Joe Rogan commended Josh Thomson for "legitimately" beating Nate Diaz
Joe Rogan recently revealed that the only fighter he believes to have legitimately defeated Nate Diaz is Josh Thomson, the former Strikeforce world champion.
Thomson is the only fighter to finish Diaz inside the octagon, barring the UFC 244 incident where the Stockton native was handed a TKO loss to Jorge Masvidal following a controversial doctor stoppage.

Speaking on his podcast, Rogan said:
"The only guy that's legitimately beaten Nate is Josh Thomson. Josh Thomson legitimately stopped Nate. I mean, obviously, so did Jorge Masvidal. Other people have beaten him, don't get me wrong. But I mean like shut him off, and that was Josh. Josh shut him off. Josh head kicked him. Josh Thomson in his prime was one of the most spectacular fighters on the planet. Completely well balanced. He had great wrestling, great submissions. Became a world champion... He's the only guy that ever stopped Nate Diaz."
